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). But hereby you just can’t up and change your Minelab Equinox shaft. First, which item will you replace it with? Second, even if you select an appropriate option, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll be able to mount your detector’s housing on it. However, there is a very simple, inexpensive and preserving your warranty rights, solution – to use an adapter. Continue reading
Minelab Equinox 600/800 problems. Play in the shaft (twist locks)
If your detector requires a repair, the solution options to resolving the problem are much more important than the problem itself. All machines break down but different manufacturers provide different after-sales service and ensure different spare parts availability. However, the worst thing is when a new product breaks down: you haven’t had a chance to hunt with it, the parts aren’t available yet as well as there isn’t any knowledge how to solve this problem. You are virtually facing it alone. Here’s a video: the Minelab Equinox 600/800 camlock doesn’t fix the shaft. What would you suggest be done in this case? To duct tape it tightly and not to touch?

If your Minelab Equinox can’t pair with wireless headphones
I wonder whether Garrett managed to make a million dollars selling headphones? And how about Minelab? If not, they won’t be able to get it done. Hobby enthusiasts have suddenly become smart enough and don’t want to pay MD manufacturers triple the price for their headphones any longer, even if those are waterproof and wireless. And what do MD manufacturers think about it? They are fine with it but don’t promise it will be easy. Continue reading
Opening the Minelab Equinox. How about memory card slot? (+video)
The Minelab Equinox 800 unit is still impossible to buy. However, some treasure hunters are posting multiple photos of their outings and finds that have been surely made with this machine, and even photos… of the Minelab Equinox 800 dismantling. Maybe this detector has already gone on sale, though we aren’t aware of it? Continue reading
Minelab Equinox Waterproof Connector (adapter at low price)
However strange it may sound, but the Minelab CTX 3030 owners feel indignant. Everyone has been aware of the fact the Minelab Equinox waterproof headphones connector doesn’t fit into any socket on other Minelab devices. But recently Minelab announced the price for their Equinox waterproof headphones — $130. Hence if you have two Minelab machines (turns out, there is a great deal of such owners), you have to buy also two pairs of headphones. Even despite the fact that these ones are identical, the difference lies only in the connector. Do you think Minelab did it deliberately or inadvertently? Continue reading
