You have two options to adjust the Halcyon Active Control Ballast System weight pockets. The second option allows you vertical placement of the pockets. Each system can hold up to 2,6kg. The system can be adjusted so that it holds the weight you desire. It also has an Active Control Ballast, (ACB) integrated system. It is crucial to choose the right weight pockets for your cycling gear in order to maximize safety and effectiveness.
Reduce weight
A Trim weight pouch is a new feature on the Halcyon tank weight pockets. It allows divers the ability to shift up 10 lb. To increase in-water stability, horizontal trim and reduce gas consumption, the pockets can be attached to their cylinder. The buoyant effect of nearly empty cylinders is counterbalanced by the pockets. With a weight pocket, a diver can enjoy more bottom time, reduce effort, and maximize their enjoyment while diving.
Active Control Ballast, integrated system
The ACB is a vertically integrated, releasable weight-system that can hold up to five pounds per pocket. This design allows for easy release and placement, and doesn't take up much space on a diver’s waist belt. For added safety and versatility, an Explorer Light System can also be attached to the ACB pocket. Side release buckles protect accidental lead weight loss and provide quick access to weights if needed.
Mounting on a bottle band
New tank-mounted trim pockets from Halcyon encourage optimal weight distribution and promote comfort while diving. They are also designed to reduce effort, increase in-water stability, and encourage head-up. The pockets, whether mounted on the tank or not, make it simple to balance your cylinder's mass for optimal in-water stability. These are some of the benefits and disadvantages of tank-mounted weight pocket.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket from the manufacturer is an ingenious invention. It promotes in-water stability and weight distribution. Divers who use this feature report that they are able to move weight from their waist into their cylinder. This improves horizontal trim and propulsion. Divers can enjoy a longer bottom time and a greater enjoyment from the dive. Additionally to moving weight from the waist into the cylinder, Halcyon Trim-Weight Pockets reduce the negative effects of nearly empty cylinders. The pockets also make it easier to maintain the head and maintain horizontal position.
Cost
Halcyon weight pocket is a great choice, whether you want to improve your diving performance or simply keep your weight evenly distributed. These pockets slip over the tank’s cam bands and give you a secure place to add weight. Depending on the type of tank you're using, these pockets can hold anywhere from 5lbs to 5kg of ballast. The cost of Halcyon weight pockets will vary from brand to brand, but they are well worth the price.
