Anyone using a Hollis wing on either a HOG or Dive Rite backplate?

Thank you, AMS

Thanks for checking that out, good to know before finding out the hard way!

Sounds like its either the Hollis AL or the OMS AL plate.

I have a Dive Rite aluminum back plate and the Hollis S25, the cam band slots line up just fine.

Would you mind posting the measurement from the top of the upper cam band slot to top of the lower cam band slot. Thanks

On the backplate this is 7-3/8". On the wing, 7-3/4". The slots in the wing are 1/4" wider than those in the backplate so the small difference in spacing doesn't cause trouble. The spacing between the sex bolt holes and the slots also matches up between the two.

What type of cam bands are you using? The reason I ask is that they look non-standard. I know that Dive Rite makes a narrow 1.5" band.

They look like 2" bands, given they fill the whole slot on the plate.

Sorry ams511 just looked again, they look like 2" but maybe Highland or the like.

Those are the exact same cam bands I use with my S25 wing. Thanks for the pic. I think I am going buy the DR plate,$55 at DGE vs $109 for the Hollis.

Correct, those are Highland cam bands with the quick release. The webbing is standard 2".

DGE is probably a better deal because you get a name brand plate and free shipping over $50.00. The harness is not all that great on the Storm and the coating is smooth not rough like the HOG. DGE has excellent prices on the hardware.

Edit: Another alternative could be to give Cave Adventures a call and see if their plate fits the wing. They are a Hollis dealer also.

Got my Dive Rite AL plate yesterday. My Hollis S25 wing fits perfectly. Thanks for the help.
