Pole Series 3

Pole Series 3 Complete - extends to 9m (30 ft).

About Pole Series 3:

Pole Series 3 consists of two units - UPPER and LOWER. THIS LISTING IS FOR BOTH UNITS.

The two units can be mounted to form a longer single unit pole (adapter included by default).

The Upper Units consists of 3 tubes with diameters of 25mm, 30mm and 35mm (0.98", 1.18" and 1.38").

Closed length is 170cm (5.58ft).

Maximum extended height is 482cm (15.81ft).

The Lower Unit consists of 3 tubes with diameters of 39.75mm, 44mm, 48mm (1.56", 1.73" and 1.89").

Closed length is 161cm (5.28ft). Maximum extended height is 449.5cm (14.75ft).

Combined specs:

Closed length is 172cm (5.64ft).

Maximum extended height is 925cm (30.35ft).

Maximum recommended loading is 2kg (4.4lbs) for all poles at full vertical extension.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:
* Fanotec Carbon Fiber Poles conduct electricity very well. Please take extreme caution when raising and using these poles around electrical wires.
* Fanotec poles are NOT designed to be mounted onto a rigid tripod. The pole base can be damaged by the added torque generated with the use of camera and lens at full extension. Please see Tripod Adapter Type A.

Pole comparisons

NOTE: Fanotec poles have been tested extensively by the manufacturer and experts in Pole Panoramic Photography before releasing to market. A recommended load of 2kg is determined based on ease of handling and stability of the system in gentle winds or in low light situations. Larger loading can be used at reduced extension and/ or with help of guy wire system. A robotic head with camera and lens weighing 4.2kg has been tested on Pole 3 with guy wire system attached recently. The result has been very satisfactory.
Lab tests show even our smallest carbon fiber tube is capable of withstanding extreme vertical weight loads exceeding 100kgs. As a quality assurance measure, each pole is subjected to 50kg pulling tension for over 3 hours to test the integrity of joints and locking mechanism before leaving the factory.
The maximum loading is more related to the stability of support base than to the ultimate strength of the pole. With a rigid support such as custom made car mount, the pole can handle far more than 5kg loads. A load exceeding 5kg should be tested properly before using the system in the crowd. Fanotec bears no responsibility for any injury or damage that may cause as a result of the failure of the pole and support system.
