I want my rig to be as streamlined as possible. This is why i sold my standard can and 3l. tanks and bought a movie can and 2l. tanks instead.
I am a little confused...
The Movie and Standard cans have the same diameter. So are the 2L and 3L tanks (of same brand).
Those add up to give you a drag profile (i.e. cross-sectional area) while you are swimming in the horizontal position.
And they are the same.
The only thing really different between the Movie/Standard and 2L/3L tanks are a few inches of length - which doesn't affect the hydrodynamic profile in any degree that matters to us.
You and I are about the same height, and even I think the standard can with 3L tank combination is a little short for me since the load rests on my lower back.
I have bought a round custom-made stand (from Jakub), but being too lazy to mount it on. But that should help distribute the load more on my butts to relieve the pain on my back after a long dive.
