Description
The ultra compact metal detector VMC4 is the successor to the proven VMC1 or “Gizmo”, as being nick-named by its many pleased users. As such, it meets stringent requirements of military mine clearance, especially the requirements of special forces.
The detector can be converted from an ultra compact package into full-sized detector in just a few steps. Its slim search coil optimizes the use in dense vegetation.
The combination of easy operation and maximum sensitivity leaves the user nothing to be desired. In part, this is because the VMC4 is ideal for all types of soils and shallow water.
Another special feature of this new detector generation is that rechargeable batteries can also be charged right in the device, either with a 110 – 240 V/50 – 60 Hz AC adapter or on a 10 – 30 V vehicle on-board power supply.
