CCRStands still around?

[mr_v]

The IQ sub stands should be available and also fit

XCCR Stand - SubGravity

XCCR stand is made of stainless steel with ergonomic folding handle. Available in Titanium in X80 as well.

Available on backorder, so you'll get it in like what, 2 years?

I just spoke with Kent Tooling. Judging by their service and manufacturing quality, I may end up going with them. I have some of their stuff and all is top notch.

Their site doesn't accurately reflect inventory. I've found that out.

I usually get things from Europe in about a week via DHL Express otherwise

Unfortunately, it is not the picture I am looking for. There are two options for the handles, so what are they? Also, it is impossible to see the handle in second picture featuring Defender - the logos cover everything on top.

I didn't put my handle on my Tiburon.

Does anyone have pictures of Kent Tooling stand for a Meg? I want to see the handle options. Also, does the stand have square hole profiles?

Here are pictures of my Kent stand and my Michel Charriere stand for my Tiburon. As I mentioned I didn't put the handle on my Kent stand. Don't need it. Kent stand without the handle is just over 7lbs. MC stand is 2.5 lbs. The weight is important to me as I fly quite often and weight limits are a real issue. Every pound counts.

I haven't dove my MC stand yet but I plan to this coming week.

@nadwidny - thank you for the pictures. You just answered my second question. I reached out to MC earlier today. How tall is your MC stand and what is the size of your Meg can?

I am thinking about getting a 50-75mm stand for the standard Meg can. I don't need the height as much as I need suitable bailout/spool/reel attachments.

I had the mc stand in my Meg can. I had a 140mm and then traded it for a 2" one. The 140 came right to the bottom of the wing I used and fit perfect. The shorter one had some wing flop at the bottom.

This is 140mm on a cave can

Do you attach your bailouts to the stand? If so, how secure was the attachment point? The single fastener and friction fit is my concern. Kent Tooling stands mount to carriage backplate bolts and that design may be more robust and secure.

It is a really solid pinch bolt and there's a lot of surface area for clamping. How tall was stand are you looking for? I can send you mine to try if you want see if you're happy with how it connects?

It's 14cm high. My Kent Tooling one is 16 cm and I thought it was a bit too long.

I have a standard canister, so 50-100mm at the most. I reached out to @Dsix36 to see if there an option to use his Hollis stand as the baseline for a new Meg stand so that the stand attaches to the carriage bolts. Will be in Cave Country next week and hope to chat with Don in person.

If I think about it, I don't need a stand. I need solid bailout and spool attachment points. Stands work really well for that purpose. Also, stands with multiple separate attachment points at different heights work well for multiple bottles on the same side. I appreciated the standard rEvo stand during my MOD 3 class for that reason.
