Is that an alloy pole mate?. I have a year old 7' and had the same, not to impressed, but you get what you pay for!. I've just had conformation that 'elite' clamps will fit brodex poles, so am planning to give that a try. I'm wondering if the brodex pole clamps are more rubbish on the alloy poles(?!), as the clamps on my old 34' fibreglass brodex lasted much longer than than that. After nearly 3 years, and lots of adjusting, one of the clamps has started slipping like you are refering to, the rest (although i have replaced the levers) are still more or less usable!.
If you look on my thread about interchangeable clamps, Paul from aquadapter mentioned earlier on about one of his customers using elite clamps to repair a brodex pole. I asked him if he could find out how the guy got on and he has posted what the guy said about it and put up a link to buy elite clamps. They are £6.50+vat.
