[QUOTE="A-team, post: 591575, member: 18790"] I have spoken to Minelab who said, as a general rule, they do not get involved with aftermarket and 3rd party companies. The tech I spoke to was curious as to how they got the coil so light...nothing further was said on the matter. The Zed has been around for some time now, it's good to see a local company producing options for it. I can definitely see the benefit of lighter weight, slightly smaller size, but BEST OF ALL - quieter operation in noisy ground. Sometimes it's just little differences like this that speak for themselves. That said, at that price, I won't be buying one when we all see the GPX coils selling for MUCH less. Surely there isn't some magic manufacturing cost that justifies the price of a zed coil to GPX coil. I know its all about business and specialty products - but I thought $525 was steep for a coil (but paid it for the quality). As we can see, NF were testing the market with a safe option, now they might branch out into more options???? Respect to Rohan, calls it as it is: "The real benefit of the Z coil is a significant weight reduction (Approx 300g) and quieter operation in noisy ground." The only negative attached to this product: PRICE! [/QUOTE]
