Standard 100cm Odysseus,
Standard 100cm Odysseus, just make sure you wrap the whole shaft in black electrical tape. Personal preference but I alway add a small pencil torch down the end at the same time.
Good luck!

Crayloops
1m or 1.25m and we've used and sold both the Mako and Odysseus brands, both good.
Above tip for light is what we do, helps in the darker corner/caves etc

Just wondering why you wrap it in black tape ?
I rebuild mine with thicker wire and make the loop bigger to make it easier to get around jumbos.

Just one of those things I was shown and just do. Noise dampening, also helps stop light relection off the metal. Anything to be more stealth.

Black tape
Stops the cray from picking up the little bit of elec current that is in the shaft of the loop,black elec tap wound all the way up the loop shaft.For the non believers out there try it ,let the cray's feelers touch the shaft of the loop without tap and see what happens then use one with the tape.
