The Kaymont BRIDGE is a revolutionary way to prepare, inflate and release your weather balloon and payload. Designed in collaboration with Replicate Printworks and manufactured in the USA. The BRIDGE acts as a secure and reliable payload connector, balloon tie-off mechanism and rapid inflation system, eliminating launch day variables and checklist items. The BRIDGE includes a gas diffusion filter, widening the neck of the balloon during inflation to reduce stress on the balloon. The BRIDGE can be pre-installed in the balloon neck indoors, eliminating the tie-off procedure before release. The weight of the BRIDGE is embossed on the unit so it can be factored into payload weight calculations. The BRIDGE is compatible with helium and hydrogen and includes a quick disconnect retrofit nozzle that is compatible with all 3/4 inch standard weather balloon inflators. In support of our efforts to reduce environmental waste, the body of the BRIDGE is completely biodegradable in all environments in case of non-recovery.
