Prism 2 HUD holder

[melizarov]

I'm looking for a more sturdy HUD holder for Prism 2 than the one coming with the unit. Googling didn't bring much useful, so asking the community.

With which DSV/BOV?

The Prism uses the Hollis BOV out of the box. The stock HUD is actually the original Shearwater HUD, which pre-dates Shearwater NERD, if I recall. The original Shearwater HUD has three LEDs that blink to tell you PPO2, I had one on my old KISS Classic. Golem Gear (now SubGravity) might have one or you might find a custom one on Shapeways but there are not a lot of options.

Standard Hollis BOV

Correct. But the mount for standard HUD is ... not the best, let's say.

Yes, I still have one in a spares box. It works but it's "floppy". Golem Gear had one for the Shrimp BOV but I don't know about the Hollis BOV.

I actually liked this HUD, it was low profile and once you got used to the blink code, it was really easy to use.

I have nothing against HUD. My problem is with its mount. 50% time I dive off a boat I need to re-attach/correct/adjust it, and while this is not a problem in warm water doing so in dry gloves is a pain.

My shrimp fit the OEM Hollis mount right on it perfectly
