boss poles
« on: January 29, 2021, 05:13:36 pm »
How do you rate the Boss poles ,especially the clamps ?
I think it looks good but the one I got are not very adjustable .
I bought it because of the good reviews it's got but I have to say I'm disappointed.
I manly had gardiner ones and they lasted quite well but got a boss one and I think I made a mistake .It doesn't look like it's going to last .
Maybe I got a dud one .

Gardiners have a patent on the Smart clamp. There isn't much any other manufacturer can do to match the performance of the Gardiner design.

How much are these

I recently changed from slx to the ova 8 - now have 5 of these - they perform very well and I like the clamps as the body is secured with Allen bolts rather than glue  and I don't recall any adjustment required other than the initial set up where they were a little loose on the odd section and of course no spinning due to the shape

Still early days but approaching 8 months for the initial trial pole
