Description
An armrest is the part of a detector that gets dragged through brush, props the machine on tailgates and carries its weight against your forearm all day, and the strap is what frays after a few hundred hunts. The X-TERRA PRO cuff is the green one, and Minelab lists this kit as its replacement: the cuff and strap in the platform's own color, the exact mount the machine shipped with.
At a glance
Genuine Minelab X-TERRA PRO armrest kit, part 3011-0469, UPC 811493019307. Minelab's own listing: Armrest X-TERRA PRO. Sold by History Seekers Metal Detectors, an authorized Minelab dealer; same-brand fitment, Minelab's own description, nothing invented.
Why this part
An armrest cuff is the part that cracks when a detector falls over on concrete, and the strap is what frays after a few hundred hunts. This is the genuine X-TERRA PRO armrest kit in the platform's green with its strap, as pictured, the factory replacement that brings the machine back to day-one fit. Buy it over a generic cuff for the mount: the X-TERRA PRO cuff bolts to its own points on the upper shaft and sits where Minelab balanced the machine; a clamp-on cuff creeps along the shaft and moves the balance point every hunt.

Fitting it and keeping it working
Mount the cuff so the strap sits just behind the widest part of your forearm with the machine at its balance point, snug the strap with two fingers, and rinse the hook and loop after a beach session so it keeps gripping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit the X-Terra Elite or Vanquish?
Minelab lists this kit for the X-TERRA PRO. If you run a different Minelab platform, use the armrest Minelab lists for that machine.
Does the strap come with it?
Yes, as pictured: the cuff with its hook and loop strap.
Why is it green?
That is the X-TERRA PRO's color, matching the factory armrest the machine shipped with.
When should an armrest be replaced?
When the cuff cracks, the mount goes loose so the cuff rotates, or the strap no longer holds.
