fredmason Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I tried a couple of methods to balance and hang the detector from my harness and hipstick. These pics show clearly how I did it. Attaching the bottom of Doc's bungy on the right and then bringing the top connector through a d-ring on the left does a few things. This attachment helps eleviate some of the twist that the detector wants to do, it keeps the bungy in line for maximum lift and control, you can turn the detector loose and it won't fall to the ground and it makes swinging the detector very easy on worn-out wrists and elbows. Also, it keeps the bungy up and away from my fairly large hands...comfort and convenience thanks to the Hip-stick, Doc's Bungy and a little modification by me... fred 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Good idea. Both the twisting induced by the bungee and the hand interference have been a problem for me with several heavy machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatup Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Quick and simple fix thanks for sharing Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Having the bungy loose at that pivot point may be a refinement on having the bungee half hitched to that point. Love it KISS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The easily adjustable bungee (bungy) that came with the 7000 is the best thing since sliced bread for me. I can go up or down a slope and adjust it with one hand and not ground the coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go up or down a slope and adjust it with one hand and not ground the coil. Having never had a harness bungee system to compare, i can't tell you if one is better than the other. I use one J strut on the detector side and don't use the extra chest bracket and also find it easy to adjust and swing with the guide arm attached, I did modify the bungee loop on the free end closing it with heat shrink wrap as suggested on another thread to end using that side by accident when re connecting the bungee to the zed.

fredmason Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Not a question of BETTER; just what works best for me. fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I think your mod and the hipstick might turn out whats best for me too, so far its working tops, I`ll definitely know after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Norvic, I mount the hip stick on my harness and set it back to the side a bit...otherwise it will grind on your hipbone...and if mounted on your pants will make them slip down...no one wants to see low-riders on me... fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
