Any Members Use This Tank Carrier?

Thank you for pointing this out @Humdinger. I checked with the company and they confirmed it. Overlooking or misunderstanding the site’s description and product photo drastically increases the price point of components to make a tank carrier. Good catch.

AMAZON....I would like to give you a link but since Mr. Bezos is acting the way he is he will not get my business.
Come on, 2022!

What I use. Cinches the tank tight to the aluminum stands with a strong tube material, and the carry strap is beefy. For $65, it’s worth it. No wonder they’re back ordered!

@Bigragu That looks sturdy. I’ve seen a few suggestions pointing toward online SCUBA shops for components like those to piece together a custom carrier. I’d also like to check with the owner of a local dive shop and see what he has in stock. I think it’s important to support our local businesses. Thanks for spurring the idea.

Both @cwcarrera and @frankinfairfield have similar wooden bases. How much extra weight does the wood add? Is it noticeable while toting? Does the tank/wood carrier combo feel as if the weight is distributed relatively evenly?

My 45 min SCBA bottle with fill station as pictured (without the cradle) weighs 15 Lbs. full of air. The wooden cradle alone as pictured weighs 3.5 Lbs. so that is not an insignificant addition to the weight of the bottle. However with the whole setup at less than 20 Lbs. I don't see it as being too cumbersome. I also have a 100 ci little bottle (like the guppy) that weighs 4.5 Lbs. full of air with fill station, I tend to grab that one when I am not going to be shooting all day and using a ton of air.

@Rob_g now that’s interesting.Hell it’s probably worth more than all the plastic stuff that’s marketed to us.

I have the same feet on my carrier as shown from JB. They were given to me by a good friend the local FD. Very sturdy and inter lock if you want two side by side. They are made to take heavy industrial abuse and need no drilling, as they were manufactured with a hole on each side for tie-down.

Not exactly what your talking about but I love this one . I have the one on my 45 min Scott like your talking about but this one is a lot nicer and protects the tank very well . I have no idea who makes it I looked all over it and don't see a maker anywhere.

@dankleinman Does it have plastic feet on it? What’s the price on one of those?

I believe the bag was hand made by a member of the board named "loren" last I looked they were still making them I have even seen some pics of double tank bags and guppy bags that all look just like mine . You can't beat the quality that's for sure there's padding all throughout the bag and extra in the bottom plus with the saddlebags you can keep all your fitting and couplers in there with lots of room to spare . Maybe I should try to get them to do me a pouch for the regulator I have to match my current bag. I always get comments on it when I take it to the range or the diveshop to get it filled
Thanks

@dankleinman The closest thing I was able to find comes from overseas and costs about $110 USD as of today. Here’s a link https://www.ebay.com/itm/Airgun-Dive-Tank-Safety-Carry-Bag-/323870723466?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
They look very similar. The main difference is the one I found appears to completely encase the tank and the valve. Not sure about how the padding measures up between them.

Anyone have files to print one of the tank carriers or holders? My son has a 3D printer.
I could have him design some if they aren’t available. I’m sure he wouldn’t be excited about that, but I could persuade him.
