It's because you got an older SLX mate. The newer ones have a smaller diameter first section, hence the confusion.
So ordered number 3,4 and 5 clamps to replace top three sections on slx 25,base section clamp is fine.http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/clx-slx-smax-clamp-to-glue-on-to-section-3.htmlPole is one with top screwthread,no quick release.Went to replace today but turns out I need 2,3 and 4,which makes sense. 5 fits base section which I dont need.But if no 3 fits first clamp section on slx 25 surely the link above is wrong?Please enlighten me cant get me head aroond this
