two D rings instead of one.

[Jeff Kruse]

does anybody use two d rings on the waist belt, with two bolt snaps on the tank? If you did this you would never have to re trim the tank.

Just use a sliding Dring if you’re using aluminum’s.

The idea has popped up a few times over the years. Unnecessary, complicates donning and doffing, and isn't really scalable to multiple bottles. It would also complicate reaching between your cylinder and your body in order to grab and attach a stage. Find the type of slider or number of fixed d-rings that work for you, and be done with it.

There's a video on SB somewhere.... The "triangle method" I think they called it. But I'm with @grantctobin on this.

What tanks. If you’re using steel tanks, no need for that, you just let them hang. For aluminum, you can’t use a stage then, since you mount the stage by cross clipping.

@mdwalter what’s your solution since you disagree?

Here's the video I was thinking of. Previously posted here by @happy-diver


Using double enders instead of bolt snaps but same idea

 

[Jeff Kruse]

no, not whats in the video. he only has one attach point on the tank, so it doesn't do any good. If you put two seperate boltsnaps on the tank band and then two d rings on the belt. You can pull it foward with the one and backwards with the other. That way the tank can't move up or down, it stays where you put it.
I saw a video of a guy doing this, think it was called (ghost divers) looked like it worked good. The tank won't move at all.

Gee Bill! How come your mom lets you dive TWO D-rings?

Solution to a problem that doesn’t exist, similar to the guy on Facebook peddling a fixed attachment system. Sliding cylinders forward becomes subconscious.
