Sorry this took so long!

As you can see, they haven't wasted time on fancy gel coat finishes, but you can have them applied, with your company decals or names if you want, could be handy as a theft deterrent thing....

The marks you can see are the harrowing reminders of a couple of days graft on facias and gutters and associated obstacles....

Are those clamps the ones when the pole sections are not extended locks into place to stop them spinning when the pole wears?

I'm not sure if these are the same as you're talking about, but they certainly do clamp the individual sections well, regardless of whether or not they're fully extended, and they're adjustable so can be tightened as wear occurs. Hope that helps?

Are these poles from china?

The poles were ordered direct from China, yes. And getting them that way will give you a huge saving over any offerings over here

Is it lightweight Paul?

Yes, I think you're right! The 2 arrows on each clamp is the give away /emoticons/smile.png. How much are aquadapter going to sell them for?

Just looked on their site and it says the 45' weighs 4.7kg approx compared to the Gardiner S-MAX 45 that weighs 2840g. That don't seem right does it?

Would it not be better to get a high modulus waterfed pole? Aren't they even lighter

Yes, they do high modulus too, but enviably more expensive, so I wanted to try out the cf first. I have one of their cf 45' poles, and I have to agree with the nearly 5kg weight quoted.

The Gardiner equivalent is 2' longer and over a kilo lighter. But then it costs £899 plus VAT and postage. For that kind od money you can buy a 55' high modulus pole and a couple of 30' cf's from Lanbao. Food for thought....

 

[Smurf]

Myself I think I would rather have a more ridged pole that weighs a bit more than a floppy one that weighs less.

There is nothing more frustrating than a floppy pole I can tell you /emoticons/biggrin.png

Just to clarify - The Gardiner equivalent (Super-Max45) is actually only £606+VAT with free shipping and is about 2kg lighter.
