Extras
Replacements, goodies, and gadgets to boost your detection toolkit.
Basic components needed to repair the most common fix the AlphaHound may need. Due to the nature of the aluminized mylar, it may perforate or tear causing a light leak. This kit includes:
3 Mylar Cards (two for use and an extra for backup)
1 New Gasket (to replace the previous compressed gasket)
1 Hex Key to remove the screws
Detect from a distance! This specialized boot allows you to attach your AlphaHound to any standard sized extension pole while keeping the back open for alpha/beta detection. Fits every model of AlphaHound. Telescoping pole optional add-on.
Compatible with all models of AlphaHound. Specialized boot designed to test samples at a known distance from the AlphaHound! Get reliable and consistent sampling with this handy little adaptation. Comes with one main sample tray and two extras.
