Make sure to see all images, at the bottom it will ask you to load more images, look for that.

That is pretty darn clever. It is worth going through all the images, as when I started I was thinking "what's wrong with some bungees?" But I get it. This gives me ideas as I have a transmitter for my heated vest that I'd like to have properly mounted, possibly a compass. I'd still leave my backup Perdix on my left arm, but I may try to see what I can come up with based on your idea. Thanks for posting.

BTW, what kind of paint did you use? How durable is it to salt water? I don't want something that can flake off and pollute.

Nice work. Thank you for sharing.

Very cool. I guess you could use bungees rather than straps too. How much space did you leave between the two units? You need enough room for gloved fingers to press buttons.

Nice job. But before you painted it I thought you were going for the Star Wars / Imperial Storm Trooper look.

BTW, looks like you used Schedule 40 (or 80) PVC... do you think it was necessary?

Nice!
Full disclosure: Just asking for interest on a nice idea and job well done. Don't own a Perdix (yet):
Does the spacing suffice for battery replacement w/o needing to remove one DC?
How is the "long assembly = brace?" on you arm in practice, where it sits during the dive? Do you keep full elbow and wrist mobility or does it get "tight", especially elbow wise (upper arm wanting to hit DC) ?

Dumb question: Why do you need TWO computers on your arm?

Great work.

You can freely squeeze 2 fingers between units. This gives enough room for effortless activation of side buttons. Space in between

Went with small pre-cut piece that was available at Lowes. I was not going to buy a full thing. The thick one was the only one available in short size.
