i got mine in the mail last week from a dealer in nj, but have not un-boxed it yet. when the ctx first came out last year, five of us bought them in one lot. i keep mine 29 days and then returned it due to the weight, now i may buy another one with this harness set up. i try and hunt everyday and my shoulder told me after 29 days it could not stand the pressure any longer.
I noticed the same thing.. after adjusting the bottom screw took care of it..I did have the arm come apart twice to day.. especially when I was bending down.... I am going to see if I have the adjustment wrong..
Played with mine some and adjustments. Just around the yard no serious hunting. Adjusted the bottom in as tight as possible against the bottom. To keep it in tight and out of the way. When I bent down saw the problem you were talking about it comes apart. Then extended top rod until that problem seems to be solved leaving the bottom in tight. Guess some hunting time will tell how it works. Big coil and a beach trip in about a week with the CTX. Will see how it goes. Thanks for the info and vide
Was about to order this Minelab Proswing today but wanted to see if you can hook up your find pouch and other accessories, found your video and question answered! Thanks for posting it! Don
Got one only concern is it seems like the j strap thing will bang int the detector as I swing. Mine may need a little more adjustments just pulled it out and hooked it up for a test run in back yard
Perfect timing on this review video! I recently saw this product and wasnt too sure about it because of its price. My dad uses and Whites DFX and even though its not the heaviest machine on the market he has a lot of problems with his rotator cuffs. Hes had multiple surgeries on both arms and after just a few hours of detecting hes normally in quite a bit of pain. Do you think this product would help relieve the stress on his arms and maybe help him stay out longer with less pain?
I can't answer in his case but as far as my shoulder goes (hurt in baseball pitching) I notice immediately the torque doesn't hurt at all like it does when I'm not using it.. definite plus for me..
hi, good video, has made me decide to buy the pro swing, but my question is, what is the orange and grey thing in the background, its moving slightly side to side, what the hell is it:)
I was wondering if the size issue would come into play.. I didn't have any one in the XL tall size or larger to test it on.. would like to get your feedback on it..evanAtgonehuntingforhistoryDOTcom
Good review Evan, you answered my main question about the ease of the disconnect. As much as I am up and down I was wondering how it would work for me. Thanks
I like mine as well but I don't know if it's that it new but now matter how much I adjust it rubs the crap out of the sides of my neck and I have j screws screwed all the way in and where they sit in upper mount they sit 1-2inches off my body
Nice demo Evan, love the idea you can carry/use all your accessories with it, the all in one, I will buy this when it arrives in joanallen uk, thanks for your straight to the point vid ,
I got mine in the mail the other day, took me awhile to set it up only because I don't think they had the bigger guy in mind when they designed the Pro-Swing, I am sure if I lost some weight it would function better
I dont swing a 3030 WISH I DID but after seeing your review I want that Harness. I don't like having weight around my hip .looks cool to..thanks for posting
I just bought mine from Radioworld up here in Toronto Canada. It is a great product....I run an Etrac with a 17 inch NEL and Sunray PP so I needed something just like this...I can swing my detector easily with no interference from the vest or plastic support arm...you can put a bit of tape around the ends of the plastic arm so they fit tight inside the fabric sleeves and they never pop out..HH Mike Toronto
I exchanged emails with Bart - told him you inspired me to get the CTX - - think I'll call him back and also get this harness setup. Leave a FEW targets for me there in OK - be there in a couple months with my CTX expecting to find a couple hundred silver coins that you missed LOL. Born & raised in Enid - LOTS of old homesteads there just waiting for me :-) Thanks for this video - and all your other ones. Keep them coming! Terry
how well would this fit a bigger taller guy that digs? havent seen any reviews about how big the belt adjusts etc i do see you can adjust the length on the back between shoulders though thats good.. i have a longer body then normal lol just thought id ask before jumping on one realy could use one for the 3030 an etrac maybe
The struts are VERY important. They enable you to carry the weight all day long. Longer is better for taller guys. I swing the GPZ 7000 with a 19 inch coil all day without getting tired.
Can you switch from left to right attachment easily? I have a different type of harness, but after awhile I like to switch the detector from my left arm to my left arm.
I use it as well with my E-trac and do like it. It can be a bit tricky on uneven ground (slopes, rocky areas, stumps) and I have to adjust it every hour or so because the belt seems to creep upwards after a while. Sweating heavily under it is a given but not much one can do about that in the Oklahoma summer. It has doubled my searching time because my weak back gives out after about 3 hours without it and I can now go 5 or 6 hours before I have to call it a day.
Well got it today! All excited -then found parts missing! Grrr! have to wait for arm and bungie,and this weekend is supposed to be 70!...but it won't stop my going! Pro's don't wait to dig! hahaha
Nope! It was just vest and bag...They're sending it to me! Had a good day today!...I found an old piece of gold jewerly (tie or collar pin?) with a marking of S8cS on the back side...ever heard of that? Thanks!
Looks like you have a lot more money into your gear than I could justify for the amount of time I have for detecting but it's a real nice looking set up.
Hi Evan, Wondering if anyone has come up with an after market adaptor or clip for hooking directly to the hood points on the CTX3030? PS. My wife is loving her XP :-) In Liberty, Jim
Let me know and I can set you up for an order.. BBH has them for 129.00 free shipping.. just keep me in mind.. would love to have your business... and I will definitely help you pricing the CTX.. :)

Good review Evan. Think this will be good for people that may have a little carpal tunnel or other injuries or chronic conditions.
I dont swing a 3030 WISH I DID but after seeing your review I want that Harness. I don't like having weight around my hip .looks cool to..thanks for posting
Thanks, my first couple of weeks using the CTX 3030 had my shoulders sore, went to a cheaper sling but will be adding this to my GET list

I meant from right arm to left arm.
@@senorwonderful honestly I haven't ever changed it over.
I don't think ML intended for the disconnect on the bottom like that, but it was definitely easier and quicker for me to do it that way..

Good deal Mike! I always wear a harness just because it takes the load off my waist.. thanks for the info!
New guy detecting here...but I'm going to be pro! Just ordered mine after I seen your video! Really good job with the details,and thanks again!
Glad it helped..
Well got it today! All excited -then found parts missing! Grrr! have to wait for arm and bungie,and this weekend is supposed to be 70!...but it won't stop my going! Pro's don't wait to dig! hahaha
+GOPRO DADDY! Was it new? If it was you have to look hard in the box.. They hid the strap and bungie in a small space saver box
Nope! It was just vest and bag...They're sending it to me! Had a good day today!...I found an old piece of gold jewerly (tie or collar pin?) with a marking of S8cS on the back side...ever heard of that? Thanks!
+GOPRO DADDY! No that doesn't ring a bell... Congrats on the find
definitely..would be something to think about thats for sure.. thanks for the view

not that I have heard..
Thanks bud.. I think so to.. I and another bud was working on a small device to help with hand problems.. :)
i imagine it would be good for water hunting too don't have to worry about losing the detector with it being connected to you :)
good post
thanks for the tips.
good luck to you.
Thanks for the view.. It is definitely a help especially if you have rotor problems.. :)
Thanks bud.. Hope it helps..
Doesn't matter if you left or right-handed right works on either side thanks
Let me know and I can set you up for an order.. BBH has them for 129.00 free shipping.. just keep me in mind.. would love to have your business... and I will definitely help you pricing the CTX.. :)
Nice one, good vid, cheers , happy detecting
I understand.. I sell a lot of junk silver that I find.. a few gold rings here and there doesn't hurt either..lol
thanks for the view..
cool bud, stay in contact with me and we will go some time...
Too bad your coil leaves the ground at the outter limits of your swing.
Deal-breaker for me !
If you will rotate your waist it will take a larger swing.. It works especially with the 17. I don't know that I had to shorten my swing..
