Ace 150/250/350 (maybe even Pro?) Mod prototype Rivised

[HoosierPirates]

See post 3 for revision


Bought a new Ace 350 last week and so far it seems like a great machine... Just like anything else, it needs figuring out. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it is hard to see the display. Being a newb, I rely alot on the display (normal?) and get tired of cocking my head to the side so I can see it. I also noticed that my wife had to do the same so this will help her as well. So today I took a few minutes to whip something up....

This is a prototype that I'm working on, with revisions in mind... maybe even put a jack under the display, who knows. This raises it about 4 1/2 inches and I might try one at 3 - 3 1/2 inches or so. I mad it out of light weight thin walled conduit. Tickled myself thinking that this may even be something that Garrett might consider offering it as an accessory

I like it.... opinions?

that is a good idea does it affect the balance of the detector?

Doesn't seem to, it weighs almost nothing.
