they don't have any bungs etc. the sockets are epoxied into the case, can see that when you change the battery, so essentially sealed from external



the warble as you put it, depends on the sensitivity setting you have them on, i keep mine on the lowest. ive had 3 sets now and would happily buy 4th. one thing to note, threads are quite short, on solar bars with solar hockey sticks was only getting 1-2 turns of the threads, i had some made up on a lathe, trying to contact carpsounder is near impossible, tried multiple times to get longer threads and also a lanyard....

really rate trangia stuff, had my set which includes stove, upper / lower windshield, pots, pan, kettle for more years than I can remember, the spirit burner great little thing too when it gets below 0c

korda hybrid stiff, ridgemonkey camo x stiff both come to mind, very very stiff but steams ok

I only do reel repairs on a friend of a friend basis but from my experience, the only time I really see water getting inside a reel is when it’s been submerged, either intentionally or accidentally. when they’re used as they’re supposed to be, water getting inside really doesn’t seem to be much of an issue for any reel

only thing that lets the obsidians down is the stupidly quick drag they're as light if not lighter than £500 reels and cost £100 ea, people put their noses up at them because they say okuma, but they've been making reels for 40 odd years

probably means the oscillating slider, its supported by two posts rather than just the one, only serviced a couple so far and and both was due to water ingress
