Ridge Runner Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Walker If Steve was a she I’d go for the Love Button but being that’s not the case let’s that sleeping dog lie. Even if he had a So True one how we going to have mayhem and turmoil? Sometimes it’s best to leave things as is.

relicmeister Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I saw that you can get a full s-shaft replacement Kit for equinox For $75 made in Ukraine. ($25 shipping) will take few weeks to get from overseas but nice option if you want the s-shaft. Looks well made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a semi-Luddite I don’t know how to make a link and put it here but it’s eBay under Minelab Equinox 600/800 universal shaft and I was wrong it’s $49 plus $25 shipping. I ordered one a week ago and since decided not to use it on my 600 as one will use folded carbon fiber shaft with 11” coil and my 2nd 600 will use Steve H’s telescoping monopole with 6” coil. If you want to get in touch with me I’ll sell it to you for $55 shipped when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it allows you to carry the Equinox right side up. https://www.ebay.com/i/353243212527?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=353243212527&targetid=935065067667&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9002432&poi=&campaignid=10833562019&mkgroupid=110337299927&rlsatarget=pla-935065067667&abcId=9300396&merchantid=6296724&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlvT8BRDeARIsAACRFiXxM-Pl3r1j-JjPXOwSBsehCJG5-JjHMq9q7LPTQqFhmWHKqVKdw48aAuefEALw_wcB This other shaft is a weird one.

Would you explain what you mean by "carry right side up?" Odd that this photo shows a Detech 13" Ultimate coil attached to the Equinox. Maybe they are trying to get Simon (Phrunt) excited... ?♂️ If there were an easier way to get one besides international shipping (and they are good quality, of course) I suspect they would sell the heck out of these. I agree that the second one looks odd. Possibly it allows a longer reach and thus a wider/longer sweep arc while still keeping a comfortable grip & hold position.

Because the Equinox is so top-heavy, the only way to carry it comfortably is upside down. I don't like this because it makes the control pod vulnerable if you happen to trip and fall or drop it on the ground. I've already broken one control pod this way. Luckily, they replaced it at a very reasonable cost. The S-rod might give it a better balance point so that it could be carried right side up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the first batch of Equinoxes are about to exit their warranty period in a few months, I would be VERY interested to know what they charged for a pod replacement. That might start becoming "a thing" in a few months as units fail electronically or due to water intrusion out of warranty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
