has anybody made a counter weight to put under the arm rest to balance the detector better.i had a x705 a few years ago,i liked the detector, but it was so unbalanced that a muscle in my arm would start hurting twenty minutes after i start hunting.useing the stock or 6 inch coil.just got a used x50 which i also really like,but it does the same thang.my other detector is a dfx,which weights more,but it is balanced as such that it doesnt really hurt my arms.i can hunt a lot longer without fatigue.if you use a exterra you know that its nose heavy,which can be handled if its balanced better.anyway thought maby someone may have,at least fixed most of the problem with a counter weight.
