Goodman handle too big for my hand

[scubamountaingirl]

i know this post is a bit late, but the goodman handle that i have using all season that I have had on loan for the season has an adjustable phillips head screw that adjusts the height so that it fits all hands. It worked for me. Its a salvo light and I am not sure what the handle is, but i will look into it.

Yes, mine also has screws for adjustment, but even adjusted all the way, it is still about 1/8 or so too high.

It's going to be announced at DEMA, but Dive X-tras has a new light with a totally new concept in holder -- a "T" neck that fits between the fingers. I am incredibly excited about going up to the shop (which is about half an hour from my house) and checking this out. There are several other innovations in the light which may turn out to be pretty cool, too.

I believe Lynne is refering to this thread about the new light.


All the best, James

You could try closed-cell rubber 1/2" or 3/4" pipe insulation. I'll see if I can find a piece today on my job and try it out. I'll let you know.

I found an old hood that I no longer use (had it trimmed out huge when I had my Datamask). I decided to "butcher" it. I traced out the shape of the handle's base, cut it out, trimmed it to better fit, used a little sandpaper to lightly score the metal of the handle & then used neoprene glue to glue the piece of the hood to the top part of the bracket (that screws into the light body). After letting it dry, it seems to be very solidly attached. I fitted the handle to my hand again, it fit like a charm, snug, but not too tight. Also noticed that with the neoprene pad, my knuckles don't get banged up on the metal. Looks like a good fit!

I wish I could. I do not have a camera. Mine was destroyed on a plane flight back from the Galapagos. You'll just have to use your imagination.
