Ridge Runner Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 This is what the finish product looks like. Chuck 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal_Cobra Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The stand looks very nice, no doubt about it, but to be honest, I have to admit that the EQ800 stand is one of the best stock engineered stands for not falling over I've ever used. Every detector I've ever had in the past, be it Minelab, Fisher, Teknetics, Makro, Nokta, Garrett, doesn't really matter, they all tip over, so very easily, so I'd about given up on a detector maker actually making a stand that actually stood the machine up. With the EQ it's darn near impossible for the detector to fall over. Heck even in the back of my vehicle it stays upright the entire ride and let's just say I'm not a gentle driver - lol I had a stand like the one the one shown for my Sov, yes it works, and maybe it's just me, but the less junk I have attached to my detector, the lighter it is, not to mention the ergonomics are better, and it's not getting tangled up on anything.

The factory stand is great! Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Nice design and better at the very top than further down, for helping balance. I have to make something that folds in so it fits nicely in its tennis racket bag ( my Equinox folds in half) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 If you take out the screw out the bottom of the Equinox stand my stand stays with the bottom half of the Equinox stand. You don’t have to cut ties to split the Equinox stand. I too don’t need the stand I made at this time. I do believe I will have a need for it if and when Minelab come out with the 6” coil, That’s unless it too have a large flat side like the coil we have now. I guess at this time you could say I’m putting the cart before the horse. The thing is it will be just like the GM 1000 with it’s small coils and it’s top heavy. When you put it down on a slope without the wide stand it’s going to fall over. I’m just correcting the problem before I need too. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 The picture below just shows that you can remove the screw and my stand stays with the bottom half if it helps to store in your case to carry it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
