I have
reviewed Many a Lomo product as they are generally good quality and extremely
good value. Recently I got my hands on their Quick Release Lanyard - With
Ring & Stainless Ring Clip which retails at £5.99. This is around half
the price you would expect to pay for a branded product.
I used
the lanyard for a prime dive torch but only after making a few adjustments to
the lanyard.
The lanyard
is supplied with a small karabiner clip at one end and a split ring at the
other. I found the karabiner to be fine but the split ring was too soft and
lightweight and it started to unravel when tension was put on it. This was
disappointing but not too much of a problem. I removed the split ring and
utilised the loop of line that is found at the same end as the split ring. All
I had to do was unpick a small knot. This then enabled me to thread the line
onto the torch and loop the lanyard through it. Job done.
The karabiner
clipped to a D ring and off I went. The body of the lanyard is made of curved
plastic wire. The use of plastic clips enables lengthening the lanyard at the
start of the dive and the clipping it all away tidily at the end.
After making
the alterations I found it to be a good product giving great flexibility re
torch positioning.
