Hi Charlie, I have no problem getting the bucket off by myself. The key is to use plenty of silicone grease and tapping the bottom of the bucket to break the seal before taking it off.
Are talking about the scrubber canister itself? I've not seen one crack yet. Mine is pretty flexible, and doesn't seem likely to crack.
I agree, but given that you can still use the Prism without the solenoid or the even the electronics, losing the solenoid is just an inconvenience.
They already have.
Yes, it might be nice, but it would also add weight to a unit which is one of the lightest ones out there and travels very well.
I think Hollis mentioned the harness will be a modular system that will adapt to different back plates. I Personally think that the Stovall plate I have is by far the best option as it's smaller, allows for a standard harness plate and allows you to see the scrubber seals all the way around, as opposed to the stock SMI plastic plate. I only wish it was made of ally, as then it would be even lighter for carry on travel. -Andy
Ok...then I guess nothing needs changing.
The KISS brackets weigh about as much as a velcro strap. The canister does crack...I've seen a few. Any rig can be dived without a solenoid (except for the CIS-Lunar Mk 6), but that doesn't mean they should be a perminent part of the unit. My feeling is that solenoids should probably be replaced annually.
