Gday
Sounds as though minelab have only just decided to add the accessory items that have been available for the sdc from aftermarket sources for some time, the detector itself from what I can see has had no other upgrade although I read a comment somewhere that it was made from lighter materials???, dont think so, reckon someone got that bit wrong.
Also what about the headphone socket is it the same dodgy one that craps itself for no reason at all,or have they actually changed it?, I read that the headphone cable had been lengthened also for people with normal length arms did they also put a normal plug on the cable as well, most users I know would not want to take the thing underwater and they dont come with waterproof headphones so that was a waste of time having the dodgy plug socket on it.
Someone said that minelab have been listening to users, but they must have selective hearing as the most people have been saying that they would prefer if the sdc was sold also as a more ergonomic detector along the lines of the gold monster with the same electronics, foldability is useful at times but for most people its of little use, also found it amusing that they brought the sdc out with c cell batteries and with a price tag over 4 grand yet the monster came out with rechargeable li ion batteries for a bit over a grand.??
The sdc is an awesome detector for small gold but I really think it could stand a facelift as far as the ergonomics goes, was hoping that minelab would one day correct that, one day when they actually listen to the people who support them and buy their machines they might make it an even better detector
cheers
