AI Transmitter mount

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.

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.

I've got an ai transmitter on all the first stages I own. The only time I disconnect them is to service the battery or the regulator. I've seen people stand their tanks up (especially bad on boats) and have it fall over and break bcd elbows. I guess since my ow instructor drilled the "never leave you tank standing up" thing into me, I haven't had a problem like that.

Seems like it would be a heck of a fall for the thing to turn completely over so that the valve/first stage impacted. The times I've seen a tank tip, it was mostly the bcd that took the fall.
