I am wanting to purchase (2) Zeus 2500 packs for an overhead application. Does anyone have a good way to hang a Zeus pack? In the past I've used the handles on other brands, but with the clam shell design I'm lost as to ideas.

The Zeus system was designed with the idea the pack would remain on the floor, and leaving only a small head in the air. While I cannot offer any suggestions on how to suspend it, be sure you are not blocking any ventilation holes when you do so (i.e. don't put it in a bag or box of any sort).

What is the reason they need to be suspended? If it is a matter of cord length, then extension cords should work. We no longer offer them, but Dynalite cords should work, as the systems are inter-compatible.

Which Dynalite cord do you recommend using if you want a longer cord/extension? They offer a few different ones.

Since this is a different brand, we cannot offer a "recommendation" or make any warranty, but the ones compatible with the M2000 series packs should work.

We did, but the sales were not there to justify carrying them.
