Looking for opinions on Salvo 10W HID

[Jason McK]

I just got one on the recommendation of a Friend (Dive Master). Taking it out for the first time this week end. Anyone have thoughts on where to mount it. Right now I have it through my tank strap of my Zeagle Tech BCD.
Also I can't find a single review on the light.

Thanks

its an amazing light ... i have the handheld version, and love it

as far as attaching it, you need to try and find a way to attach it to you waistbelt/ (cummerbund on your Zeagle) on the right side

Thanks wjknobles

I'll give that a try

Awesome light, I have a DSS backplate & wing so I don't need a weight belt, however i use the belt with empty pouches to hold my cannister and clip the light head to my upper right D-ring, when not in use.

just out of curiousity, why do you prefer the extra belt to put your light on vs. just putting it on the harness?

and no problem Jason

Yes I think they are more designed for a backplate & wing. That will be the direction I go when I'm investing in my next BCD

I love mine did you get the fixed or adjustable one?

 

[Jason McK]

Adjustable. I guess they are not making the fix unit any more

The cannister on the weight belt makes for easy removal should I have the need for ditchable weight, and I can use the empty weight pouches to carry small items. Yep I know its only a 2lb cannister, but it would lighten me a little in an emergency if needed.

If you need to ditch with, put it on the waist belt of your harness, and hold it on with a buckle. If you need to ditch weight, open your harness, and undo the buckle so it falls off.

I have the fixed focus version, and I love it.
