Review on πŸ”¦ Aquatic Intelligence AQI Kit Mount – Hydra26/52 by Cristina Franklin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poorly constructed kit disguised as a lamp holder

ISOMETRICS . Has anyone heard of this director? Hang a weight from the end of your arm and watch the fatigue build up in your arm. **Now look at this picture and notice the crappy C-Clamp with screws in the brackets at the top of the C-Clamp and nothing at the bottom for support? (This is clearly a rimless design and even then not very well made) C Clamping hooks outside with brackets on top. The design is for a rimless tank, there are no mounting options for a rimmed tank, you need to find a solution by yourself. **Inner acrylic spacer stabilizes arm and eases installation. Then add the weight of an AI 26 Hydra and the arm has bad forward weight tilt, which combined with the crappy C-Clamp attachment design creates an electrocution deathtrap waiting in the wings. I would not buy this product again and to be honest if I could find a better option I would return these two and compared to other mounts I have for my Kessil A160W and A360WE flashlights this thing is unnecessarily complicated and looks more like some sort of Lego set than an actual swingarm. They either trust expensive things that are better than a kid's training set on Lego arms. I'm not kidding when I say the ONLY item in this entire set is the 90 angle bracket that's worth buying (but not for $75). To be honest, this design looked like an engineer went to a home storage facility and walked down the equipment aisle to create a "custom solution" using "off the shelf" parts. (And if I wanted something to buy at Home Depot I would GO TO HOME DEPOT! I HAVE BETTER EXPECTATIONS for something said to be made specifically for Hydra lamps. This item can cost between $25 and $30 MAX, you have to get extra parts yourself to make it work.
