Meg set up.

tomekziomek · 11th December 2007, 21:03

Hello guys,

After looking at other set ups I figure I show you mine.

I use a movie meg with a home-made aluminum stand and 10lb. weight system. (10lb. of my waist)
Harness has 3lb.weights for trim and two disconnects which allows me to fish the straps thru the counter-lungs. (very close fit)
Suit inflation bottle gets mounted in the bottom of the cage with lift-bags and all the other toys.

Please comment.

Looks pretty tight! What's that whitish object in the base of the stand with the argon bottle? (Very cool stand, btw!)

Ever consider de-inverting your bottles?

Your stand and inflation bottle on the bottom might make you butt heavy.

Is that a 60lb OMS wing? A 30 or 40 lb should be sufficient.

Hi Nailer99
It's a piece of foam. It offsets the weight of the stand and the argon bottle.

Hi Gilles.

What are the benefits of de-inverting the bottles?

The stand weighs less than 5lb. and the rest of my weights are at chest high so it's not a problem.

The OMS wing is what I used on my OC set up. I don't mind the extra lift capacity. Plus tying the top of the wing gives me extra

lift.
