Weight of CZ models

[saginawian]

Hello,

Is there any place that I can find the weight of fisher detectors both hip mounted and rod mounted? I'm particularly wondering about the CZ3d and CZ5. I found a couple of places that say that the CZ5 is 3.7lbs even hip mounted, that doesn't seem right to me. Thanks,

Ian

That would be the weight of the entire unit. Of course, when you hip mount, the weight of the control box with the batteries inside is on your belt and insignificant and the weight you feel is the weight of the rod and coil on your arm, which is considerably less than 3.7 lbs. but to specifically answer your question, I don't know anywhere on the Fisher site that splits out the weight of the rod, coil, and control box for you. Someone at Fisher should be able to answer that for you. Drop them an e-mail.

I just weighed my CZ6a with 10 inch coil, coil cover and batteries. It weighed in a 5 pounds. Not sure how much less it is with the 8 inch coil.

Its the ergonomics...Most CZ models weigh approx. 3 1/2 pounds complete with batteries and of course less hipmouned as your hip or chest take the weight of the box and batteries.
One model that never took off relative sales was the CZ7 and CZ7A rodmount only..Weighed approx. 4 pounds and actually felt no heavier as the batteries were under the armcup and provided excellent ergonomics simiiar to the 1266 Fisher model...

Like Cliff said, just hip mount the CZ5 OR 3D and the little extra weight shouldn't be a factor.Use a CZ20 mounted to the rod asm for an hour and then hip mount this unit and you would really understand the difference.I never had a problem with the CZ3D being that much of a problem attached to the rod assembly.When I use my Sovereign even with the straight shaft sometimes the back will fill that extra weight.
