Twin Cam band set - Click for manufacturers details
Optional Buddy Cam band set for twins
(BK1 backpack and harness for illustration only
are not included)

 Uses BK3 style cam bands so cylinders can be removed by uncamming. Quick and simple, no tools needed.
Consists of four special length BK3 type cam bands, one 4-slot anti-slip rubber plate, and two special separation crimping blocks. Once correctly cammed using the special separation blocks, the twin cylinders are rigidly held in position.

It is the divers choice whether a manifold is used or two regulators. There is a reasonable amount of leeway on the bands to cater for cylinders with unusual diameters.

BK15 - for 5.5" (140mm) dia. cylinders
BK16 - for 7" (178mm) dia. cylinders
BK17 - for 8" (203mm) dia. cylinders

Features of the Tekwing:
The BUDDY Tekwing (26kg) is a fully customisable technical buoyancy control package with a wide range of optional features allowing you to configure the kit precisely to your needs.
The Tekwing includes the new element ::backpack with all its advantages of comfort and fit.
The new backplate also features double cam band slots allowing you the option of fitting two sets of twin-set cam bands top and bottom. This cylinder cam setup will retain a twinset consisting of two independent cylinders (i.e. with separate first stages rather than a manifold) as firmly and rigidly as steel bands.

BUDDY Super Cam webbing bands have the advantage over steel bands in that they are easier to pack for travel, require no tools to fit and are easily adjustable to suit other diameter cylinders.

The Tekwing provides 26kg of buoyancy with the option of adding a further 26kg BUDDY Redwing to the configuration to make a redundant buoyancy system.

The harness features 2 welded stainless steel D-rings (more may be added) which can be moved to the ideal position and 2 further D-rings on the wings for easy attachment of side-mounted stage cylinders.

Optional BUDDY Verti-Clips can be fitted to hold the D rings rigid at a right-angle to the jacket for simple one-handed attachment or release of dog-clips.

Waist-band slots are fitted either side to prevent 'tank-wrap' if the Tekwing is dived with a single cylinder.

Two-band crotch straps are fitted to eliminate ride-up on inflation of the wing.

The Tekwing features an over-pressure valve and two dump-valves - one at the kidney and the new dumping elbow at the shoulder which is integral to the corrugated hose/inflator assembly.

The AP200 power inflator has the same hose connection as the AP400 drysuit inflator and the Inspiration CCR diluent inflator.

One size fits all.

Optional emergency mini-cylinder (DIN or Int A-clamp 232 bar 0.4 litre or 300 bar DIN). A blanking plate is included if used without mini-cylinder.
 

AP200 power inflator or Auto Air (power inflator / emergency jacket breathing / EN250 rated alternate air source)

Cylinder Cam Band Options:

Single cylinder cam band fits all up to 15 litre (8" diam.) cylinders.
