AI Transmitter mount

[Capt Jim Wyatt]

Once pressurized it stands proud. I have it set up with a quick detach. It has not failed me yet.

What is your reasoning for the QD?

What is your reasoning for the QD?

I separate it when storing my gear after a dive. I don't like threading and unthreading something all the time. Then again it's not like I thread and untread for fun. Comes from my shooting habits with suppressors. Threading and unthreading will inevitably wear out threads at least on a rifle. That's why all my cans get QD mounts.

I understand why you want to remove a suppressor. But why do you want to remove the transmitter?

I understand why you want to remove a suppressor. But why do you want to remove the transmitter?

I have the same question.

AI transmitter damage when directly connected to 1st stage

Have you ever had damage to your AI transmitter as a result of it being directly connected to your 1st stage? Thanks to @scrane for the idea for the poll. This is complimentary to my previous poll, Attaching AI transmitter to the 1st stage

Threading and unthreading will inevitably wear out threads at least on a rifle.

Why? Unless you are hamfisted the barrels should wear out long before the threads do.

With the AI transmitter on a short hose the wear should be on the hose not on the first stage.

Some folks, maybe this feller, have more than one regulator set? Maybe? Those dang Xmitters be expensive!

Perhaps. But what he said was he takes it off to store it.

Mine has always been attached to the first stage except when I had to change the short hose, never had an issue.

I leave mine attached directly attached to the first stage. Only time I unscrew it is when switching from my singles tank setup to my doubles setup. Transmitter is stored along with the regulators in a regulator bag after use.
