For those who already have a NERD 2 mount and want a nice rEvo solution - or for those who want to buy the non-rEvo mount so that it works on other units - I developed an adapter that allows the NERD 2 mount to work with the rEvo, even with a gag strap installed. The adapter is designed to remain securely in place and will not interfere with DSV operation, and won't fatigue the breathing hoses. Can be installed on either the left or right side of the DSV.
NOTE: The NERD 2 mount works with the original NERD computer.
Though rEvo now sells a version of the NERD 2 mount with an attachemnt clip for the rEvo DSV, using the HANZL DESIGN adapter with the "universal" NERD 2 mount provides a series of benefits:
1) Folks who have a rEvo and purchased the NERD 2 can now use the mount that came with the NERD 2 on their Evo.
2) Provides a more secure attachment to the rebreather as it's a full clamp vs a clip-on attachment.
3) The part of the mount that remains attached to the NERD is smaller with the "universal" mount (utilizing the HANZL DESIGN adapter) than with the rEvo specific mount. This is because with the rEvo specific mount the entire mount needs to be unclipped from DSV, whereas with the "universal" mount the mount easily splits into two sections, allowing for more compact storage of the NERD - it'll still fit in its case.
4) If you switch to another CCR the NERD mount will still work, whereas the rEvo specific mount will not.
I have made it available for sale ($22 + shipping) here:
