Extend Air Cartridges- PUKE

For some applications they're good, and this seems to be one of them.

If you have to prep a bunch of rigs for filming, and time is $$$, they're very convinient.

Stuart, like the big handle on your bp!

Finally got around to read the article, thanks for posting it.
Enjoyed it very much, the two rigs you two brought home
look great. Love the matching alu backplate.

Great write up.. I'm still undersided if I want to go mCCR (AKA KISS) or eCCR (Meg)

Can you give some details on the costs involved, and what electronics packages you went for.

Cheers

Rich

Figure on $10000 fully loaded with all the toys / backplate / harness etc and shearwater electronics which has a HUD and built in deco computer.

Take $2000 off if you dont want integrated deco...

and build quality that can not be beaten!
