Ethan in Adelaide Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Hi guys I’m trying out the bungee today as hip stuck just arrived. I am having issues as the bungee wire can’t be clamped the wire very well. every time I put weight on the wire will start moving. The clamp appears very loose. Am I doing it wrong or? Thanks Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Stone Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I would think just rap a wire or black tape around where it don't slip through and it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhaseTech Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Need to just pull the bungy up firmly so it looks into the groove like in your first image. Should be very hard to move then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pull down on the cord to achieve the right height of your detector off the ground & then while holding the weight on the cord horizontally pull the cord away from your body & up & it will lock into that wedge shaped groove & you are good to go.

D4G yes I did it right now. Thanks. I called it wire bc of english not first language. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The side of the clip has the groove, is the adjustment side. In other words make sure that the plain side of the clip that has NO groove is the side you attach to the rod of your detector. The side of the clip that has the groove is the side where the bungee should not be attached to anything. This is the end of the bungee that you pull up into the groove to lock the adjustment in. This is precisely why I designed the QWIPPLE clip with adjustments on both sides. May I suggest that you take the loop that you attach to the rod of your detector, on the side of the clip with no groove and put a piece of colored tape on the bungee down by the loop. So you always grab the right end to attach to the rod of your detector. Then use the other end to pull up into the clip groove. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
