BH vs G-2 ergonomics? ocd ?

[JimGilmore]

OK, this is an odd question but here goes. As built the GB and the g-2 are both aligned with the shaft and I realize that makes them both visually appealing both from an ocd point of view as equally usable wether right handed or left. But it does seem that if the screen could be rotated a little one way or the other it would be easier to read at all times?
Does anybody else feel this way? Just seem that to read it I have to move my arm inward a little.

I don't know, but I bet it would wind up hurting when you have to stretch far for some of the functions and a shorter distance for the other functions.

Hey JimGilmore --

I agree, and actually like your idea. A little clickable swivel mechanism, where the control box attaches to the shaft, would be AWESOME. You could then give the control box a click or two to the right or left, depending upon if you are right- or left-handed, just to get a slightly more direct view of the screen. Maybe the Fisher guys will read this and consider for newer models...

I don't have any trouble seeing the display on my G2, but I like your idea. It would be a great feature that a manufacture could add to their list.

They try to build them childproof and even though a swivel screen is a good idea don't wait on one. HH

not a bad idea but.........that would just be something else to break!

Well I did not mean that it had to actually move...suppose the sides of the frames had a simpe part that could be installed either way...which ever way you wanted it to lean. So they could set it up for righty or a lefty....
