Helix pro compact

Does this mean the end of the Mikron? I'd assume so.

Diving Regulator | HELIX COMPACT PRO - Aqualung

You don’t need to be big to make a big impact. That thinking inspired the Helix Compact Pro the smallest and most compact regulator Aqualung has ever produced. This amazing piece of technology is equally designed for warm and cold water, meaning it’s perfect for jetsetters on the go, minimalists...

I suspect it's a Mikron in a new dress. Interested to see if they widened the exhaust T.

Cute!

I have never understood the desire for small second stages. Poor mechanical advantage of the lever and smaller surface area of the diaphragm, ergo they have to be more sensitive, i.e. more prone to free flow/leaking etc.

Is your suitcase that small that it makes a difference??

Have you used a Micra, Mikron or Flight before?

I've worked on them; that was enough. LOL

I have and found all three to be very nice breathers. Admittedly the Flight could get a bit twitchy if tuned too hot but not so the Aqulaungs. YMMV.

The only real negative I had with the ALs was bubble interference but dive them long enough and I largely forgot about it.

That knob better be metal or its well into the land of tacky.

Sort of. I'm kinda standardizing on the XL4 as my second stage of choice. The Atomics and the G260s are staying home now.
