| Re: To BOV or not BOV - Split From NACD Cave Summit
Photos of the rEvo dual HUD on my BOV.... this is one for a KISS BOV. It's just a piece of PVC rod, bored to slightly smaller diameter than the exterior of the BOV hose fitting, with about 1/4 then cut away. It 'snaps' over the BOV fitting and can be rotated to adjust. I cut a slot on the top to hold the original bracket... but at an angle to direct the HUD towards my mask. It's bulletproof and simple. Paul's original is similar, sans the angle of the cut.
These can be made in a few minutes for any BOV.
It sits square on the fitting... it was pulled slightly to the side when I took the photos.
I put the two small screws in it to allow me to add a small rubber band to increase tension, but in the end they are not needed.
I found that the original HUD mount had the LED's firing straight back, and the left most LED's were had to see due to the shade-hood. The angling of the displays towards the mask completely solves that. Everyone who has seen it considers it to be an improvement (and yes, Paul has seen it too....)
