Salvo Movement on Webbing

[thermocad]

I have a slavo 10w hid which is wicked but the only issue i have is keeping it on my webbing in one place. Ok at the kitting up stage i push it right back to the backplate (image a)... i have my main hose traped under it and all is well. then through out the dive it will tilt and move forward around my webbing (image b), I have altered the amount of gapping on the canister and it still dose it....

Now i have seen on a lot of DIR photos/vids that they have theres right up agianst the backplate through out the whole dive.... How do you do that?

Oh and yes when im de-kitting at the back of the car it has fallen off my webbing several times now!!

I use a plastic buckle (like on your harness or a weight belt) to keep it in place, it that's any help? Make sure that the back of the buckle abuts the torch so that if the torch moves it can't flip open the release.

I do the same, but with a tri-glide/retainer

Like Helen, I use a spare buckle, although I use a metal one - but that's the accepted solution and it works just fine - make sure you don't push it too far back as you may have trouble reaching the switch!

I use a D-ring

Yep same as Helen and Marty, I was shown the buckle option to hold the canister in place and works just fine, you really don't want that canister plummeting to the ground when you release the waistband

[thermocad]

cool ...... i'll give the buckle a try. Many Thanks to you all...

Funnily enough, same as Fiona

Metal buckle slid onto the waistband to keep the torch in place. As Helen says it's on "backwards" so you open it towards the backplate to take it off later.

Plastic weight retainer - one of the thick chunky ones.
