Been using it on my rig for about a year. nice blinking light easy to check really helps on the occasion i cant remember if i put it on or not. regular rigger inspection (with reserve pack) is all it needs.
It can be a little bulky on the outside, but no real sang points, everyone can see it so you will get lots of attention when traveling to other dropZones with usually 'hey did you get that from bill(or some random name)" no...or on the occasion yes (so a nice ice beaker). Battery if left on will last around 10 days, then your going to need a repack and look for a new battery.
Not water proof (stay out of the pond) if you froget to turn it on before the plane leaves you dont have an AAD on the descent. Question: you want a Safe AAD, and more money to jump?
