Anyone try Zeagle's tank mounted weight system?

[buff]

I was considering using Zeagle's tank mounted weight system.

Has anyone ever tried it?-good/bad?

Do you think you could use system with doubles-with a little rigging?

Thanks

Mucho duct tape amigo...

But you know the real answer for doubles is gonna be a backplate...

Zeagle recommends the tank mounted weight system only for singles-and I'm married so that's out. What a great joke!!!

Seriously folks-

I thought I could still use the tank mounted system with doubles and here's how.

Add a total of 4 cam bands to the set of doubles. The weight system would attach onto these bands. It would eliminate the bulky weight belt or any forward positioned integrated weight that would impede my movement. And at the same time permit ditching of a large percentage of my total ballast in an emergency-a safety consideration that is often overlooked.

My one concern is that the doubles will force the weight to be positioned so far laterally that it will make the setup unstable. Also the torque of positioning that much weight i.e. tanks, ditchable weight, so far from the center of my body might make me fall over backwards.

Has anyone tried this idea?

That was a good one!



Ideas? Oh yeah!
Forget the extra weight.... you won't need any with the right doubles....
