Quick Release Tassel

[nashoba]

The D2 arrived with this great tassel and no instructions on how to easily apply it. I drilled a 3/64" (#3) hole just behind the RC. It's saved my RC already. Drill, deburr, apply tassel.

Good method unless you wish to collapse down to say backpack it. In this case all there is is to tie a loop around very end of shaft, or drill tiny hole there.

Thats what the *quick release* is for.

Does the rc falloff easily

Does the rc fall off easily?

 

[HuntinDog]

In my 11 years of the Deus1 and now the Deus2. I've never had my controller come off unless I wanted it to.
But with that said, I will use the tether.

I wouldn't say "easy", but the connection isn't as strong as the RC mount on the D1. Personally, I like that. I thought the D1 RC could be a little too hard to remove (too tight), almost felt like you were breaking it removing it from the stem. That said, this tassel is cheap insurance IMO. I knocked mine off yesterday over a concrete driveway, the tassel saved it. I imagine it's a sick feeling listening to it bounce across concrete, even as armored as it is.

If you remove the remote from the shaft every time you charge eventually the remote to shaft connector will have a loose fit.
I had to replace my shaft connector once on my D1 after a few years, and honestly it’s almost about time to replace it again.
The best solution I can think of is to keep the remote attached when charging.

Thanks for the idea, I did this to mine, 45 degree hole through the corner. No need to remove the fitting, I just wanted to make sure I didn't drill through something important. I think my D1 controller has fallen off once in 6 or seven years when I was transporting it.

Nice I'm going to do what the gigmaster did and run my coil wire up through the shaft also

I had the same issue, somewhere I discovered you slip it over the upper shaft and when you slide it to extend the upper shaft, it pinches to hold it. Had me stumped for sure.
I knew a guy that lost a remote on the original Deus so a very real possibility

It's an elegant solution, for a more civilized age.

Nicely done!

I wrapped some Paracord and a cordloc around the coil shaft and tied the RC lanyard to that.

Where did you get the quick connect?

 

[HuntinDog]

It comes with your Deus2

 

[nashoba]

Yah, the D1

The D1 RC is definitely a snugger hold than the D2 RC, but when you take it off, it doesn't sound like you're breaking it. It's a smoother mount, and hence a little easier to knock off.

 

[nashoba]

The tassel does, yes.

 

[txop]

I know the D2 comes with that cord but does anyone know where to buy an extra one? I looked around and can't find one just like it. I was want to put one on my D1.
