Perfect for Extended Detecting Sessions
If you're spending hours in the field with your Minelab Equinox, you'll appreciate how much difference a lightweight shaft makes. The carbon fiber construction cuts weight significantly compared to the stock aluminum shaft, while the counterweight option lets you dial in perfect balance for your detecting style.
The cam lock system uses injection-molded nylon construction that's both lightweight and durable. Unlike some aftermarket locks that slip under pressure, this one holds firm even when you're working in thick brush or rocky terrain.
