ANOTHER ONE FOR EPISODE 3 – THE COMPARISON – THE LAVABOX BY VOLCANO

THE LAVABOX BY VOLCANO

  • Love the look of this one!
  • Love the feel of this one!
  • Love the interchangeable colored grips!
  • Love the ease of battery replacement!  (it is a little tough getting the balance connector past the main connector)
  • Would love to see the grips be snap-on or magnetic as apposed to screw-on for rapid changing.
  • Not a fan of the fire button 🙁

When I first saw this, I thought it looked “manly”.  Which is why Dimitris will hate it unless he can get a nice pink grip for it.

Since the device has the same shape on either side and the fire button is flush with the device, I find myself hunting for the fire button at times even with the grip telling me the orientation.

The flush mounted fire button was done intentionally to prevent it from being accidentally pressed.

So this is where everyone is going to be different.  Some will not mind the button, but for me, the first time I need to hunt for the button… well… you know.

Expect to pay $169.99 for this one from Volcano.

If I change my mind and wind up liking the button, can you guys have a luau in my honor?  🙂

Photos show it next to a Shark 200 for a size comparison.
