I have seen these being advertised elsewhere, I am not sure about the cost but they do look interesting
Nice poles, Paul … but those prices? … you could buy a small transceiver for the price of some of those poles. Or did you check on the collapsed lengths of the poles, running at an average of 5 feet or more … not very handy for stuffing in the rucksack?

Rob, that’s ok, we could buy two, or a drone and a rig. 
TBH, It made me think about all those folk that used to make a living by having a van with a big Clark mast and sticking a canera on top for surveys, wedding photos etc. I winder what they do for a job now? Same as rope access workers (the ones who inspected pylins and oil rig legs) who have been replaced by drones.
Sorry for going off topic on your post @2E0CPX Paul. I will have a look at their website in detail. I need a permanent push up solution for home. Thanks for sharing the link.

I once had a great 15-meter aluminium extensible mast from Spiderbeam:
But it got “lost” at some point a few years back. Shame, really, it was very strong and durable, but to be honest I think it would be a bit of an overkill out on the balcony here 
.
Cheers, Rob

That is akin to losing your car. It’s huge, and expensive, and silver. I was looking for something a little darker and less conductive. The hunt goes on.

Seriously! I had no idea about the price! Cheaper to buy Moonrakers version

A bit expensive, heavy and bulky (collapsed) for me …

Sadly Life’s a Breeze have no stock of poles and wont be getting any more. A fact that those of use who have one of their poles and would like another are very sad about.
