X1 Heavy duty wrist strap

OK.

For the moment a solution like the original strap plus a sandows can be ok. Until Tobin release a mount. But still the question :

I'm thinking that if I change it for bungy, that the bungy will not hold it still enough and allow it to rotate around the arm when tapping.

The folks at LiquidVision were kind enough to send me an X1 case and interface to use to develop a bungee ready mount. I just received the goods, so it will be ~ January before I have a mold designed and built.

Hi Tobin,
Your mounts look very nice. I wait for the X1 version. Do you have solution to deliver it in Europe, at reasonable cost ?

We ship world wide. Small parts are usually sent via the post office. We also have some distribution in The UK and elsewhere in Europe.

Keep us posted on that one.

In my case, although the strap looks unbreakable, I have replaced it by a Dive Rite Cinch Strap. It's a inch wide elastic band with a plastic buckle.

It does the job.

I'm playing with a couple designs right now. When I'm ready to go I won't keep it a secret.

i saw an hs explorer disappear in a sand bottom quarry w/ 20 ft vis, fell off a wrist and poof into oblivion. Of course that wasnt exactly the same as losing an x1.......

In answer to your question, spot the X1...

I've been asked by a couple of people where the picture came from. It's from my first review of the X1 Why I bought an X1 thread

I had intended to get a few more dives in before doing a review, but since SWM had been down for a couple of days due to Fasthosts being useless, I thought it would be of interest to those who'd been missing their daily fix. I'll add more detailed comments on here once I get some proper dives done. Needless to say, I'm very happy with it so far.

Forget the wrist, use a double-ender and clip it to you harness, it's easily accessed and not in the way

I'd rather have it on my wrist.
