What's the pod on top of the CK? A trim weight enclosing device?

Nice pics,
The "Pod" is a knockoff of silentscuba's idea for the counter weight.
I went to the hardware and got a piece of PVC sewer endcap, stainless rod and a wingnut. Rod just screws in the the drawnut throught the original lid and put the wingnut on top. Drilled holes in cap for drain and painted it black. I like it because it allows me to use softweight to find my trim.

P.S. My belly looks bigger on camera

I'm trying to figure out what those weights are doing on the side of the mask.

I think those are Howards night vision goggles.

I pick the Meg up on Friday and head up north on Sunday to start training.

I thought those were the batteries for the electric ear muffs ...
