Halcyon Carbon Plate

[saxman242]

compact so great for travel as a rec diver.

What makes it more compact than any other backplate?

I have the Halcyon CF plate. The difference in the water seems noticeable. It just feels much lighter than my aluminum plate. I get that it's only a pound or so difference and it's probably basically a psychosematic response, my rig sure feels lighter on both land and in the water to me though. (Plus it looks really cool)

The Adventurer plate is a little smaller (in width) than my SS plate and it does not require an STA.

but you'll still need weights making it heavier on land.

i dive 2 lbs alum plate and a 1 lb STA no weights

if i dive the halcyon carbon . it's 1.1 lb Carbon plate and 2 lbs Halcyon STA. technically on land it will weight about the same..

but if i were to dive this.. i will need weights.. technically... it's heavier on land if you add the weights.

i went over to helium dive website . everything is russian! but im interested in the titanium hardware. i got a freedom plate comming and its a bit heavy, i duno if using titanium hardware will lighten it. my fp in my estimate is just 0.3 lbs over my ideal weight

with everyone’s opinion on carbon. i just lost taste lol.

dive helium doesnt have STA?

I own a Helium Dive titanium backplate and harness including their STA.

The STA weighs 3.9oz and the Cam Bands are only 5.2oz each.

I just got back from 3 weeks in Raja Ampat and the titanium setup was great for both travel and diving.

I anodized the hardware myself with a blow torch.

Doh! I always dealt with Paul directly so I didn't see it until now (as I've bought his closed reel, titanium bp, titanium sta, and tank bands - all quality stuff). I just messaged him on FB to let him know that the translation isn't complete.

Paul is very responsive and he'll take care of you.
