remote lanyard

[Lt4ever]

Just a little advice, use the lanyard with the remote. A hunter just lost his remote in tall grass. He did know it fell off. Now he is trying to figure out how to find it.

Another detector, large coil, all metal. Follow the same trail if possible.
Sorry, that's terrible. I hope you find it.

Happened to me with the original xp once I never found it either

 

[Jesseray]

Now I keep mine in my pocket at all times

I wouldn’t go without the lanyard. I also attached a wide elastic strap to the back of the remote cover so I can wear it on my arm. It is secure and it isn’t bulky at all cause it’s just an elastic loop not a bulky Velcro band.

Yeah, how the remote connects to the rod is BAD engineering. It's difficult to get on and can fall off.

I usually leave it in the truck. Most places where I hunt, I know the ground balance and what works best for me. In new places or if I think I might need pinpoint mode, ground balance, or FeO2 meter, I will keep it in the XP arm band or the leather holder in my pocket. Other than that, I don't need to look at the numbers and can use the headphones to make changes. If I want, the phones will even give me the VID but I have never used them for that. I took the lanyard off the XP pinpointer because it was always in the way. To each, his own I guess.

I lost my MI-6 once and used the remote to track it down in the woods maybe they need a update on the MI-6 so we can locate the remote also!

Here’s a cheap solution so you won’t loose your control unit.

Here’s a cheap solution so you won’t loose your control unit.

You can still remove it left right if you put enough pressure on the unit I believe

Interesting

This does not fit into shaft… you have to sand it down to fit… not sure how strong it is now?

 

[Albert]

I use the lanyard that came with it and it works fine .

 

[relicmeister]

An easy solution would be small pinch buckles one half fastened to stem with thin wire, The other half zip tied to the remote cover or sewn on with short length of elastic fabric so that when clipped the remote is snug down on the mount and can’t come off accidentally unless hit up pretty hard, and won’t go anywhere if that happens either.
