the 'mini rEvo'

OceanOpportunity

what's the status of the mini-rEvo? also, what is the difference in counterlung size? Pricing as compared to the standard unit?

both standard and mini are in production and are supplied to customers

both 7l counterlung, both same price

paul (from another adres :-)

(both same counterlung because the mini is 6mm thicker)

(the wing on the mini is a bit smaller: total lenght is less! )

The Mini is so much nicer, so everyone should be buying the Mini instead...

So more will be available later in the 2nd-hand market for me...

I guess it will depend on your height... the mini would probably give me back pain like the sport kiss and mini/cave megs do..

I want the rig long enough to hit my ass (or at least close to it).. for me about 25 inches is about the minimum height..

from playing with various Rebreather chasis, I find the "ideal" height of the rig (for me) is about 27 inches with the lower backplate mounting screw being about 9-10 inches off the floor (that put the top screw at 20-21 inches) - for comparison your travel frame sits about 3 inches (or so) too high for me (since the distance when measured from the floor to the bottom bolt is too small)...

hello joe, never heard of the extendable backplate: have a look at the rEvo presentation (downloads on our website)
you put the rig on your back, stand up, and then slide the backplate down so that is touches your butt :-)

and before unrigging, sitting, you just slide the plate back up

regards
paul

That definately would help while diving, but the larger unit is also easier to get in for a person with a bigger frame (brings everything up higher)..
