Minelab Hip Mount Kit for Excalibur II Metal Detectors

The Minelab Excalibur Hip Mount Kit (part 3011-0185) relocates the Excalibur II control box from the stem to your waist, cutting arm strain on long underwater hunts. Detectorists working chest-deep surf or wading river channels for hours move the control box to a belt to shift weight off the swing arm — and the kit installs without tools. It fits both the original Excalibur 800 and 1000 and the Excalibur II 800 and 1000.

What's Included with the Hip Mount Kit

• Hip mount bracket for the Excalibur control box
• Adjustable waist belt
• Mounting hardware — no tools required to fit

Why Excalibur Owners Use the Hip Mount Kit

• Shifts control-box weight to your waist instead of the stem, reducing shoulder and forearm fatigue on multi-hour water hunts
• Keeps the control box at hip level, accessible for threshold and sensitivity adjustments without raising the detector out of the water
• Frees your swing arm to move naturally through wave action and current without the added mass on the stem
• Tool-free setup — clip the control box to the belt bracket and go

Belt-Mounted Control Box for Deep-Water Comfort

The hip mount bracket secures the Excalibur control box on the included waist belt at hip height. We've run this setup in chest-deep surf where holding the control box on the stem for three hours leaves your arm spent — the belt mount moves that weight to your core and leaves you swinging a lightweight shaft and coil. The control box stays within reach for tweaks without breaking your search pattern. The bracket works with both the original Excalibur 800 and 1000 and the Excalibur II series, so whether you're upgrading from an older unit or running a backup detector, the same hipmount fits. This kit replaces Minelab's previous part number 8006-0007 with updated hardware that holds the control box secure in wave action.
