Most cheap guttervac pole being sold get really heavy on acute angle. Even my omni aerospace grade poles without a pole assist I've found can be a nightmare when using on acute angles at a long reach.
Hence why I came up with the idea to use a ladder as a pole assist to take the weight off the pole. That way not only did I find the pole easier to control and less stress on my body it also saves damaging say plastic gutters etc on conservatory roofs when tempted to use that instead.
In this example I set the ladder up so could clear the whole gutter run from that one position with my guttervac. Then used it again still in the same position to wfp the outside of the guttering, fascia and soffit. Simples.

May I add that one was an easy job compared to others I do but you get the general idea how the pole assist can be used.
Hope this helps?
at the top of your gutter pole is the pole round (the part that sucks u the **** out of the gutters or is it a bit like a crevice tool shape? As some tiles over hang and I can't get my pole in the gutter sometimes because of the tiles
