I am looking for the lanyard and bungee that is shown first in the video to secure the gauge. I did not see it for sale on the website. Where can I get one of those?
MrHyde, I did not take your 1st comment as a neg. remark… and your follow on remark is really very good. Matter of fact, I tested exactly what you stated as your experience…
I took that very same blue mag. octo holder in the video, along with my Suunto retractable compass and did a test as you described.
Now,
Mag holder on my chest, compass in my hand, arm extended in front of me 12" as I would if in an up-right position.
– Result aprox 2 degrees change.
Mag holder on my chest, compass in my hand "as if I were swimming with it", 16" from mag. and barely 1 degree of change.
Last:
Mag holder attached at my right side BCD pocket D-ring, arm extended with compass as if swimming with it, 24" away… no effect on compass.
Great test ! and thank you for your comments. I may even do a video on this at some point.
Magnet octopus holder AKA how to screw up your compass and get lost under water device
very usefull.. thank u man
Now put everything in the horizontal position. Pressure gauge and octopus hanging down, away from your body. Sure, much better than nothing, but still keeps things too much away.
