Here is another option, you will have to find a way of fixing it to your poles though.
Someone on another thread in General cleaning Issues bought one for his vac system. You may be able to search for him on here, and ask for his opinion.
It looks OK though.

Cheers guys, much appreciated.

[Roland S]

the camera and screen that andy has just linked to is the exact one i have been using up until now. it's usable, but i wanted something a bit better.

[Matt Gibson]

Roland, how did you attached the camera and screen to your poles?

[TheWindowManChris]

Ive had a look at the go pros, probably better buying one. the cheaper cams/screens arent much cheaper to be honest.

How do you mount your phone while your using the camera? do you mount it to the base of the tubes? if so, how?

We got iPad sleeve which operator hand goes thru and his hand supports the iPad

[Roland S]

Roland, how did you attached the camera and screen to your poles?

i used 2" tool clips. on thoise cameras there's a threaded hole, and i just used a 4mm or 6mm bolt through the tool clip into the camera. the camera screen i did the same through a plastic clip on the back. if you do decide to go down that route i'll send you some photos.

Right, couple more questions before i put my order in.

Carbon tubes, are they fragile? easy to break with normal day to day use? I dont want to be replacing them after a little knock.

Also, vacuum hose cuffs etc. The poles im looking at are 50mm OD, can you buy spare hose cuffs that size?

should i go for smooth bore internal vac hose?

And what degree bend for the head?

Im assuming i will be able to get a sillicone bend with a 50mm opening, but what about the othe end? (Nozzle end) is it best to get a reducing piece of sillicone abd use a smaller tube for the nozzle?

Cheers fellas.

Speak to Oliver at Grippatank, tell him Simon sent you.

[Matt Gibson]

Hi mate, ive had a look at grippas stuff. Pretty pricey. Im putting together my own set up. Just wanted some advice.

Cheers anyway.

Carbon tubes are strong unless you tread on them, then they crush quite easily. You will have more of a problem of the joints wearing out from constant use even if you do keep them clean from grit and muck.

[Matt Gibson]

Cheers mate. What i should have asked is how long with the carbon tubes last if i keep them in good nick? How long before i need to replace from general wear n tear or the joints wearing out or anything else. Bit costly to be replacing regularly.

Roland,

Im gonna buy the camera you used to use. Could you send me some pictures of how you mounted it, and any links of the tool clips you used if possible.

Cheers mate.

[Roland S]

Hi matt I'll take a couple if pics tomorrow

[Matt Gibson]

Thanks mate.

[Roland S]

hi matt

here you go, this is what i did for the camera. there's not a huge amount of thread to screw into, so the black tape you can see is just in case it comes off. you could use some loctite or something instead.







for the screen i just screwed through the flap, but if i was doing it again i would take the flap off and use velcro instead.

Looks good this. We are thinking of a camera set up ourselves.

i've got a set of alloy poles for sale if you're interested. i use carbon now but for the occasional job alloy are ok.

like these ones Link here

hi how much are you looking for for your poles? Also how long are they and could you send a pic to jetvaccleaning@hotmail.co.uk thanks

I recently bought this

 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gutter-Cleaning-Vacuum-Machine-Gutter-Sucker-Gold-6-Pole-9-metres-System-/350872697975?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item51b1a47c77

used it today for the first time and i think its excellent. Worked out the same price to buy this than to put one together myself. I have nothing to compare it to as its the first ive owned but i found it very powerful, the poles are light (although only 30% carbon i think) plus you get the carry bag with all the attachments etc.. It also looks really smart! Customer was very impressed.
