Balanced to Perfection!
I still have to replace the Phillip's screw with thumb screws
when I want to use it as a regular Hip-mount....The extra Wire for Hip-Mounting tucks neatly underneath the detector in the u channel,secured by Velcro.

I tried to have the detector housing mounted more to the rear toward the arm cup but the Balance was terrible...The way I have it now I can hold the detector with one finger in the middle of the hangrip and it is a perfect fit, with just enough play for the Larger 10" Tek Coil......I should have done this years ago...
So Much Better! than have being tied up to a Bunch of Cables like a regular Hip-Mount,but I have that Option if I should choose to do so
