I would preferably like to hold one/ use one before buying. I know I bought my Super-lite 2 without using it but that was because I needed a pole quickly and already had decided that modular was my way forward, but its alot of money to spend without using something, I would like to give it a review with pictures and everything but.......... :( Luke

Are the clamps on the pole in the picture, going to be the same clamps on the new poles?  Are they like the tucker clamps? 

The clamps in the picture are virtually the same as the finished article, minor changes and different colour. They are very different to the Tucker type fastenings. They are a sideways cam operated clamp.

Are they easy to use, ie like the x-tel clamp? The x-tel clamps are the best ones ive used.

They are very different to use when compared to the X-Tel clamps but they are just as quick to use, they are much stronger and are about 30% lighter than the X-Tel clamps.

Is there any way I could try one out Alex, maybe at Windex? Luke

Are they still a one handed operation?

They are very much one-handed operation, pretty difficult to use if they weren't.

We are not going to Windex Luke, but if there is a way of you trying one out I will make sure that you have the chance.
