LX6s vs LX6

I see the new LX6 has an “s” after it. I currently use a 7 and have thought of selling my LX5 and upgrade to an LX6 for my backup. Long story short, what’s the difference between the LX6″s” and the regular LX6.

Thanks!

Snow shield and a smaller footprint.

The LX6s is the same unit its just on a smaller shuttle, so its a little more compact. The LX6 used to be on the same size pack as the LX7 and LX9, but now it has its own. So same unit will work just like your LX7 but be a little smaller.

Any idea how much it will cost for the new lx6s shuttle pack? Im not a fan of the one that it is in now.

Thank you. I think the case LX7 is pretty much useless on the ice. The unit just won’t stay in the case. Mine dropped out once and I feared the worst but thankfully everything still worked.

Anyone have solutions for that issue?

The marcumtech.com website is listing the lx6s case at a whopping $59.99. At least they know the lx7 case is junk, that’s only $37.99.

Junk is right. I love the unit. Case is a joke.

Velcro tape works great for the shuttle.

Ben – do you have a pic of the way you set it up?

Ryan, check this post for some mods. Mine is on there as well as someone else’s. I just moved the strap forward and velcro’d it in. Love it now.

As far as the difference between the lx6 and lx6s,here is direct from Marcum website.

Stupid phone. Attached the same photo twice and not the link to the case mods.

Thanks!

Can the lx6s be updated like the lx7 can be updated to the lx9

No, there isn’t a camera update for the lx6.

With my LX6S- I put the LX6 case on in after I bought a shuttle for my LX6. I like the indented handle to carry when hole hopping. I know the LX6s is a smaller footprint, but didn’t like it for hole hopping.
