A 1270 that is fun to hunt with!

I had hipmounted my 1270 and really enjoyed it but I have been hitting some brushy areas lately and that free hanging cord seemed to catch on everything. So back to the drawing board I went and this is what came out. It is well balanced as you can see in the pics and I added a neoprene cover to protect the housing when I set it down and a bicycle grip from a bicycle shop that cost me 10.00 for two. I hunted all day with this set up last Friday....a truly fun hunt!
 
Very cool rig.

Here is a link to a simple sling you may want to try, I started the post but another guy had a better design. I have made several for my brothers and myself and you can just about take all the weight off the detector that you want.

I agree you very well balanced, I could see with the one finger on the grip that it is even balanced with just about the right swing angle. Just one thing though, I was kind of wondering how you work the toggle switch on the bottom of the control box? Looks like that may be a job for the other hand.

Maybe FT is taking notes for there next design.

Good job,

I watched him hunt all day long with this machine without fatigue, well, not because of swing the detector anyway:poke:

I really don't like to do that on the forum, but to get on here and call us "pre-schoolers" was over the top.
Thanks "shooter"

Hey Mark way to go my friend, I thought i'd be a wise guy back but i liked your style better just to the point, had emailed Dave J about possibly any other type of machine like the 1270 to be built like the 1200 series machine and he said that the demand of such a machine just isn't there so but he did say was there was quite a bit of stock out there still to supply the demands of the market at the moment
