Talk to varitech (newton Abbot). They sell extendable sections to go on the end of the plastic gooseneck. I've just bought some connections from them as I want to extend my SL-X pole by 6-12ft using these type of screw in sections.

can you not put 2 or even 3 plastic goosenecks together, I use 2 and angle only the lower one if  there is a deep sill

I'm using these connections (they fit one inside the other) both at opposing ends on a 6ft pole to extend my Gardiners SL-X pole (not the gooseneck), so I can reach higher :)
