Oceanic Photon Pro QLR 10 lb Weight Pockets - Pair

Best For

• Replacing Oceanic Photon Pro integrated weight pockets
• Photon Air divers who want compatible 10 lb weight pockets
• Divers who prefer integrated ditchable weight rather than carrying all ballast on a weight belt
• Restoring or upgrading a compatible Photon BCD weight system

Key Features

• 10 lb Capacity Per Pocket: Each pocket holds up to 10 lb / 4.5 kg of weight.
• 20 lb Combined Capacity: The pair provides up to 20 lb / 9 kg of integrated weight capacity.
• QLR Quick-Release System: Designed for secure weight retention with quick removal when needed.
• Pull-Release Operation: The QLR system uses a pull handle to disengage the weight pocket from its receiver.
• Guided Pocket Loading: The receiver system is designed to help guide the pocket into position when reinstalling it.
• Photon Pro Replacement: Direct replacement weight-pocket system for the Oceanic Photon Pro BCD.
• Photon Air Compatible: Oceanic also lists the 10 lb Photon Pro weight pockets as compatible with the Photon Air.
• Integrated Weight Design: Keeps ballast incorporated into the BCD rather than requiring all weight to be carried on a separate belt.

QLR Weight System

Oceanic's QLR integrated weight system is designed to combine secure weight retention with straightforward operation. Each weight pocket locks into its receiver during normal use, while the pull-release handle allows the pocket to be removed when weight needs to be ditched or taken out of the BCD.

The guided receiver also helps align the pocket during installation, making it easier to reload the system after changing or removing weights.

Compatibility

These 10 lb QLR weight pockets are designed as replacement pockets for the Oceanic Photon Pro BCD. Oceanic also states that they can be used with the Photon Air BCD.

Important: The Photon Air is also available with its own lower-capacity 5 lb weight-pocket system. This listing is specifically for the larger 10 lb-per-pocket Photon Pro QLR system.

What's Included

• Two Oceanic Photon Pro QLR integrated weight pockets

Not Included

• Lead weights
• Oceanic Photon Pro or Photon Air BCD
• Rear trim weight pockets

FAQs

How much weight does each pocket hold?
Each pocket holds up to 10 lb / 4.5 kg, giving the pair a combined capacity of up to 20 lb / 9 kg.

Does this fit the Oceanic Photon Pro?
Yes. Oceanic identifies this as the replacement weight-pocket system for the Photon Pro.

Can these pockets be used on the Photon Air?
Yes. Oceanic states that the Photon Pro 10 lb weight pockets can also be used with the Photon Air.

What does QLR mean?
QLR refers to Oceanic's quick lock-and-release integrated weight system. It is designed to keep the weight pockets securely attached during normal diving while allowing them to be removed using the release handle when necessary.

Are weights included?
No. This listing is for the integrated weight-pocket pair only. Lead or other compatible diving weights are added separately.

Are these the same as the Photon trim pockets?
No. These are the primary ditchable QLR integrated weight pockets. The Photon trim pockets are separate smaller pockets used to distribute additional ballast for trim and are sold separately.

What is the difference between the Photon Pro and Photon Air weight systems?
The Photon Pro normally uses 10 lb / 4.5 kg QLR pockets, while the Photon Air has a separate 5 lb-per-pocket weight system available. Oceanic also confirms that the larger 10 lb Photon Pro pockets can be used on the Photon Air.

Expert Insight

This is the correct replacement when you need the primary integrated weight pockets for a Photon Pro rather than the smaller rear trim pockets. The 10 lb-per-side capacity also makes it a useful Photon Air option for divers who need more ditchable integrated weight than the standard 5 lb Photon Air pocket system provides.
