Hi Soren,

 

I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean, but I doubt we'll be adding any more hardware to the vest. It's nice and light as it is, low profile too.

 

Hi James,

 

As for rear mounting, I should state that the Exovest isn't really about rear mounting, it's more about adding a 3rd arm section when you need extra boom range, though what you describe should be possible, for sure.

 

All the best,

 

Chris

Hi Chris,

 

does this mean there won`t be just a rear mounted extension arm for the socket block, only in connection with the 3rd segment? Until now I thought this is a "dual mode" vest.

 

And a second question: I wondered (a question to anyone who tried this vest) if it "feels" like front mount or back mount?

 

Regards,

 

Mariano

Hi Mariano,

 

Although you can mount the arm front or back, there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to mount a standard two-section arm to the back. It's more weight and more bulk; but like I said, there's nothing to stop anyone doing just that, if they so pleased.

 

As for the feel, I can only say that it doesn't make much difference having the arm attachment at the front or at the back of the vest. The only difference is that having extra weight out back changes your balance slightly—in a not disagreeable way—but I personally would only consider it in order to increase boom range.

 

I hope this helps,

 

Chris

of course this helps - thanks a lot for the quick answer!
