Two ways can the Halcyon Active Control Ballast System position and adjust your weight pockets. One option allows for vertical placement. Both systems are designed to hold a maximum weight of 2,6kg. The system can be adjusted so that it holds the weight you desire. It also has an Active Control Ballast, (ACB) integrated system. It is crucial to choose the right weight pockets for your cycling gear in order to maximize safety and effectiveness.
Trim weight pocket
The Halcyon tank mount weight pockets now have a Trim weight pocket. This allows divers to shift as much as 10 lb. For improved in-water stability and horizontal trim, as well as reduced gas consumption, divers can attach the pockets to their cylinder. The pockets also counterbalance the buoyant effect of nearly-empty cylinders. A weight pocket allows divers to enjoy more bottom time, less effort and maximize their enjoyment when diving.
Active Control Ballast integrated system
The ACB can store up to 5 pounds of weight in each pocket. It is vertically integrated and easily releasable. This design makes it easy to place and release. It also doesn't take up too much space on the diver's waist belt. To increase safety and versatility, the ACB can be fitted with an Explorer Light System. Side release buckles allow for quick access to weights and prevent accidental lead weight loss.
Mounting on bottle strap
Halcyon's new tank-mounted trim weight pockets encourage optimal weight distribution and promote comfort and stability while diving. They are also designed to reduce effort, increase in-water stability, and encourage head-up. The pockets are mounted on the tank and allow for easy balance of the cylinder to ensure optimal in-water stability. Here are some pros and con's of tank-mounted, weight pockets.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket by manufacturer Halcyon is an innovative invention. It supports optimal weight distribution and encourages comfortable in-water stability. Divers who use this feature report that they are able to move weight from their waist into their cylinder. This improves horizontal trim and propulsion. Divers can enjoy a longer bottom time and a greater enjoyment from the dive. Additionally to moving weight from the waist into the cylinder, Halcyon Trim-Weight Pockets reduce the negative effects of nearly empty cylinders. The pockets also make it easier to maintain the head and maintain horizontal position.
Cost
Whether you're looking to enhance your diving performance, or are simply looking for a way to keep your weight evenly distributed, Halcyon weight pockets are an excellent choice. These pockets slide over the tank's cam bands and provide a secure location to add additional weight. These pockets can hold from 5lbs to 5kg depending on the tank that you use. These weight pockets are priced differently by brands, but they are worth every penny.
