Pictures of how primary is attached and cord is stowed?

[mikemill]

I took a couple of pictures while gearing up for a dive yesterday. Thought they might help.

No bungee over the top of the light? How you gonna thumb grab with the right hand? Gotta say that since changing lights and getting rid of the tied-on bolt snap I'm much happier. Oh and retaining screw on the left side is nice too. And I thought you were in the "cord-under-long-hose" crowd.

Nope - light cord has been over my long hose since the start.

Bought the light used. It came with a bungee on top. Never used it, so took it off & don't miss it.

I use it every dive to do thumb holds. Check pressure - thumb hold. Butt dump - thumb hold. Messing with buddy to the left - thumb hold.

I'm a hybrid -- I like the bungie over the top for a thumb hold, and see little or no downside to it; but I tried the double-ender from the butt of the light to the bungie and found it unmanageably clumsy in cold water, with the remote ballast lights (which are shorter), so I went back to the tied-on boltsnap and the o-ring on the butt.

I hybrided the double ender in that I have a loop at the butt and use the double ender to attach it to my right d-ring where it says when the light is in my hand. Not ideal as I can't one hand it, but there is plenty I can't one hand yet

I have the dexterity to do the double ender always attached thing but it makes that ring too cluttered for me. But I am so happy to have the clip off the light. Nothing like waving the light to get attention and having that clip banging around on the light.

I also tried clipping the double ender through both loops. But in dry gloves it seemed more hassle to clip/unclip from the chest D ring than it was worth.

I like the single ender, easy to find, easy to clip. Thumb keeps it from "banging" when getting attention.

Thanks again all!

What is the third buckle for?

 

[Rainer]

Can light, waist strap (harness), and weight belt.

Or so I guess (since I use those three).

Yeah, you guessed right .
