Minelab Equinox shaft adapter. Another shaft
Not everybody likes the Minelab Equinox shaft – some aspect of its design is flawed. The owners complain about their arms getting tired too quickly and about the low-quality camlocks (the latter aren’t locking tight enough, thus there is a play in the shaft).

Minelab Equinox 600/800 problems. Play in the shaft (twist locks)

However, it can be said right now that these ones happened because it was to the manufacturer’s interest to do so. No one asked you and isn’t about to start now. We give, you buy. Continue reading
Opening the Minelab Equinox. How about memory card slot? (+video)
The Minelab Equinox 800 unit is still impossible to buy.
