XP Pinpointer Stem Mount for ORX and DEUS

The XP Pinpointer Stem Mount is designed specifically for the MI-4 and MI-6 pinpointer models. Both the wireless MI-6 (which connects to DEUS and ORX detectors via radio) and the traditional MI-4 (standalone operation) fit the mount's clip design. The mount attaches under the upper pole on both DEUS and ORX telescopic stems, positioning either pinpointer model within easy reach during recovery work. If you run a different brand's pinpointer, this mount will not provide a secure fit.

Yes, the stem mount is compatible with both XP DEUS and XP ORX telescopic poles. The mount clips under the upper pole section on either detector model, using the same quick-attach design for both stem types. XP engineered the mount to fit the pole diameter and construction used across their DEUS and ORX lineup, so you can move the mount between detectors if you own multiple XP models. The mounting process takes seconds and requires no tools or permanent hardware modifications to the stem.

The stem mount includes an integrated strap hook designed to pair with the XP pinpointer lanyard. Thread the lanyard through the mount's strap hook and attach the other end to your MI-4 or MI-6 pinpointer for added security during recovery work. The lanyard prevents drops when you set the detector down to dig or when working around roots, trash, and wet ground. Combining the stem mount with the lanyard gives you both instant access and drop protection, a setup our team uses on trashy park hunts where pinpointer handling is frequent.

The stem mount positions the pinpointer weight on the upper pole rather than at your hip or in a belt pouch, which helps maintain the detector's natural balance point. When the pinpointer is clipped to the stem, the added weight sits close to where you grip the detector, reducing the torque that would otherwise pull on your wrist during long swing sessions. Detectorists who hunt for multiple hours report less forearm fatigue with the stem-mounted setup compared to carrying the pinpointer in a belt holster. The mount's quick-release design also means you can remove the pinpointer when you want the lightest possible swing weight for open-field coverage.

The stem mount attaches in seconds without tools or permanent modifications to the DEUS or ORX telescopic pole. Slide the mount's clip under the upper pole section where the two pole segments meet, then secure the strap around the pole. The mount's design grips the pole firmly enough to stay in place during detector swings but releases quickly when you need to remove it. No drilling, adhesive, or hardware is required, and the mount leaves no marks on the stem when removed. First-time installation takes under a minute, and subsequent attachment is even faster once you know the clip's positioning.

The stem mount clips to the upper pole section above the coil cable routing, so it does not interfere with the cable's path or the detector's electronics. The mount's low-profile design keeps the pinpointer close to the stem without blocking access to the detector's control pod or headphone connection. When you swing the detector, the mounted pinpointer moves with the stem as a single unit, adding minimal bulk to the detector's profile. Our team has run the mount on DEUS and ORX setups in dense brush and tight spaces without snagging issues, though you should still be mindful of the pinpointer's added length when navigating thick cover or storing the detector.
