Is the Dive Rite ABS backplate compatible with the Translate Harness? I was looking at one at noticed that the 4 slots in the center (for cam straps?) were absent.
 
Hello,

The TransPlate harness will weave onto any backplate, however if you want to use cam straps on a backplate that does not have the four slots, you can do it with a Single Tank Adapter. The cam straps reside on the STA and that bolts through the holes on the plate center panel.

The Dive Rite ABS plate is a bit older (we no longer sell it) and was designed for use with doubles originally (hence the lack of slots). It works just fine, you'll just need the STA.

Cheers and thanks for asking,
Kathleen
 
Thanks Kathleen.

One last question, how does the weight of the ABS backplate and the aluminum backplate compare, are they pretty close?
