Vision on the wrist?

Blomman · 24th June 2007, 11:24

What is most common among Visiondivers; wear the controller on the wrist or attach it to a D-ring?

I guess the wrist is preferable, however, I found I couldn't activate the menu when on my wrist. I have no problem when clipped to the D-ring, also I previously dived a classic so don't find it an issue clipped to the c/lung. My Inspo buddy has it on his wrist.

Poll?

Mine's on the wrist.

It's a total pain trying to clamber out of it and the VR3 link RIB diving so I can hand up the unit but I seem to manage.

mine on wrist too but i am not comfy reading it out, but on the whole i preffered it more than on the ring. As they say you can t have it all.

I put mine on my wrist, but I diched the rubber straps for bungee to make it easier to take on and off. You can then also use a double-ender bolt snap if you ever want to clip it off.

I used the webbing for the clip-off method to attach the bungee.

Good luck.

Was originally on my right wrist but when it went back to AP for a warranty job they cocked up & put me a left hand set on

So I then used it clipped off to a D ring but since changing drysuit to a shoulder dump I wear it on my right wrist .I also have problems accessing the menu & normally forget to undo the straps even though I changed them to vr3 straps ,nice & easy pinch clips

Originally wrist, but couldn't read it. Moved the HUD over to the right hose which made it 'easier' to read but not easy. Went to D ring & haven't gone back.

I have it on a "D" ring it is the only job.When it is on the wrist you use both hands to read it. Because when you try and turn your wrist to look at it, it will not turn with your wrist as the hose feeding it is to strong and stops it moving with your wrist so in order to see it you have to twist it with you other hand.
Also When clipped to "D" ring it is easy to take off and show your buddy.

Started with it on the wrist, moved to using the chest strap for it. Works best for me since I usually have my hands folded over my belly, that way its usually in my hand (s).

Started with mine on my wrist... got really narked with the straps, couldn't get them done up without a complete faff

So I changed them to bungees, which actually worked and was comfy but... I got fed up having to wrap the cable round my arm (only 5ft with ickle arms)

So a bit or bungee and a boltsnap later and it clips nicely onto my harness D-ring and I've never looked back
