The DGX Soft Handmount is constructed not just from neoprene alone, but from soft and durable ballistic nylon fabric that is backed with neoprene. The soft design is much more comfortable than a traditional metal handmount and much easier to adapt to handheld lights as it uses a universal attachment method. A nice feature is a place to easily attach a small bolt snap, as some divers prefer when mounting a metal goodman. Wear points in the thumb opening are further padded with an additional layer of neoprene. The handmount is ambidextrous design (works on either hand) and also has a palm strap with excellent comfort. See the Product Documents tab for illustrations of how to use the DGX Soft Handmount.
The light strap with a hook and loop closure and rubber gripping pads securely holds lights with a diameter up to {1.75 in | 4.5 cm}. The soft handmount is the perfect accessory for the DGX 600, DGX PUSH, DGX Video and Dive Rite BX-2 handheld lights.
Available in two sizes; to determine your size, measure your hand as shown in the image above. If you usually are wearing gloves while diving, then you should measure while wearing gloves as well. If the measurement is { 4.5 in | 11.4 cm } or less, the SM/MD size is the best fit for average sized hands or hands with light gloves. If the measurement is greater than { 4.5 in | 11.4 cm } the LG/XL size is the best fit for very large hands or hands with heavy gloves. These measurements are just guidelines, for unusually 'beefy' hands and very 'delicate' hands our two sizes may not fit well if at all. As always, if you are not satisfied with the fit you may return for a refund.
Even with the largest size mount, you may find the strap is too short. I typically wear a large size wet glove that is 5mm in thickness and the large size mount barely fits. I recently switched to dry gloves and there isn't anyway the large mount will fit, the strap is just too short. If you don't have large hands or wear dry gloves, this would be an affordable option.
Strap is far too short, I have long fingers but only a size large for hand circumference. I am only able to wear the handmount without gloves, and just barely even then. Not very well made as far as the stitching goes either, but then again it's $10.
This Handmount was exactly what I was looking for! Not only does this fit my Light Monkey 2W torch but it also fits my newly purchased Paralenz camera! I am grateful to Dive Gear Express for sending it to me so quickly!
Great little mount to securely hold your light to free up your hands for other task loading when it gets dark. It does run a little small so size up if you plan to wear gloves of any thickness. The retention strap is a little stiff at first making it a little clunky but after a dive or two I'm a fan. It's lightweight and soft making it comfy even in tropical dives.
I really like this product, except, they wear out very quickly. They simply fall apart as the stitching comes undone. I am on my third one. In diving nothing lasts forever, but these unravel way to soon. I also rinse it after every use. I use it to hold a 1" diameter dive light, it goes on every dive I make.
I bought the DGX soft handmount before Christmas and had it delivered to Australia in record time.
The Dive Gear Express size guide was perfect and the handmount works better than expected.
I'll happily purchase more dive gear from DGE in the future!
The product's quality is solid but the design is bulky. I bought the larger size but with gloves on this setup was quiet uncomfortable. Hand size XXL. The product works and will get the job done.
This glove holds your light very securely. My only problem was it rubbed between thumb and first finger. I am a woman and it may be just a little too wide.
