mtbriles 0 #1 December 5, 2009 I read that the original Viso was mounted with strings which imo doesnt sound very reliable. I was wondering what the mounting system was for the new VisoII was. Anyone know?Why not? My direction in life is up...then down again REALLY REALLY FAST!!! Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Jbag 0 #2 December 5, 2009 the original viso is mounted with strings or zip ties, both are quite reliable. just if you use the string make sure its tight and you are using the wax string and not just normal string (for best results). im sure teh viso 2 is the same mounting with the only thing being different is the waterproofing.IHYD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcordell 2 #4 December 6, 2009 the waterproofing isn't the only difference. I know the viso II also has a daily jump counter in addition to the regular jump log (for those who make so many they can't remember?) and it is much easier to turn the backlight on and off. It is also lower power consumption so the battery lasts longer. I know there are a list of differences but this is all I remember off the top of my head.www.facebook.com/FlintHillsRigging Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recently bought a VISO 2, but never read the manual I'll have to now, to check out this new features.Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmyfitz 0 #6 December 7, 2009 I don't believe it is waterproof. Just water resistant. There is a big difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
