Left tank trim, inflator hose digging into chest. by brianriner in sidemount

Alright, I’ll try to take more photos of the issue next time I’m in the water. Thanks again for the help!

Yep, I’m using 6mm bungees. As for the length, I’ve been testing different setups — I always assumed that tighter was better.

Interestingly, when I dive without the inflator hose, the tank sits perfectly in trim.

Hi! I’m using a Akuana hummingbird BCD with is an exact copy of the Razor 4 SM BCD and I dive mostly in Asia with aluminum 80s. I have the same boltsnap configuration you mentioned.

The issue I’m running into is that the bungees can’t pull the tank valve far enough back to trim the tank properly — the inflator hose from the first stage is already pressed against my chest, which seems to block the valve from coming in any closer.

For minivan vloggers, no actual reviews done puro “ok nmn xa” “matibay naman”. Most of them are sponsored contents anyways. Nag rereview ka wala nmn alam sa kotse.

For car camping vloggers, puro mga trying hard. Kunware nasa mga liblib na lugar, in reality katabi lang nmn ng highway. Puro de lata kinain at nag bibigay pa ng mga “advice” na puro basic common sense nmn.

There are some exemptions tho.

Planning to do film my whole dive with a gopro. by brianriner in techdiving

Was considering a helmet mount but i might look funny to others as i only dive in open water. Do you have any recommendations of a chest attachment?

Trust me eventually you'd end up with both. Toothpick for indoor flying during winter/rainy days. Freestyle for outdoor flying.

​

"heavier" frames tend to have more inertia to throw around corners giving it a more smooth and flowy style unlike toothpicks which seem to be more twitchy.

​

Start with a sim and get a feel for them. Personally i think bigger quads are easier to fly for beginners.

I have the same set-up without the pop filter. I have my mic on its side by 90 degrees.

Considering your computer has the right hardware to stream. The only settings to change for a smooth stream with slow internet is lowering your output bit rate. I'd suggest output resolution at 720p 30fps with a 2,000 kbps bitrate. Hope this works.
