cz 21 balance question

undertoe

Member
Hey guys,I know the cz 21 is kinda heavy,but how is the weight balanced compared to other detectors?
I hip mount my beach hunter id and like the way it swings even with the 12" coil.
Do you guys prefer hip mounting the cz over running the stock setup?
 
I hip mount mine and swing a 10 in coil and have no prob.with it that way it is heave after a few hours swinging it without hip mounting it,you might also like chest mounting it( i made a chest mount out of alum. plate) that works better in the deeper water becouse the housing wants to float when hip mounted and your waist deep... hope this helps i think you can look in the mods fourm and find a chest mount to see how it looks
 
I put My CZ-21 with 10"coil on a long straight rod an mounted it with knobs facing forward behind the elbow for ez access to control knobs. it has perfect balance like my Excalibur on a Pluggers Rod. I had to use an after market balance bracket but I love the setup.

Undertoe,

After about a year of procrastination I bought my CZ-21 in June this year. As my wife would say, "LOVE IT." Been a great machine thus far with the anticipated learning curve of sounds but easy to operate.

I immediately went to the hip mount knowing that the CZ-21 was built like a brute for the water. With the hip mount, the 8" coil on factory shaft allows me to swing all day long as long as I alternate arms and adjust the hip mount left or right a little bit depending on which arm I use, and my direction of travel in surf based on the undertow. Yesterday, I spent 4.5 hours on dry sand as I waited for the tide to recede and 2.5 hours in the water. 36 clad coins, a ear ring and a junker ring. I just have to be cognizant of the wave action in relationship to the hip mounted unit. The unit tends to float around a bit in chest deep water with waves. As kaptainkosmic posted the chest mount idea and design is impressive and an option for some.

Or go to the long shaft idea the Buggaman7 posted. I would be interested to know where that long shaft was purchased to mount the CZ-21 like the Excalibur? Keep up the good work. occop
 
I found it way too heavy to stock mount it I just use a strap I made from a craft store for about 3 bucks and chest/hip mount it. I wear it like a gun sling and I made it big enough I can wear it on my belt loop.
 
I preferred to hip mount vs. chest mount but prefer either of those to leaving it on the shaft. The main improvement you will see over the BH is the neutral bouyancy of the coil on the CZ.....
 
No hip mount...i just payed 185 euro and bought a XP DEUS teleskopic shaft....great can upload pictures if you want
