You don't need a support pole as we regularly use them at this height.

Really ???  How can one person hold a pole up to reach 40-45ft and be safe. Surely if you lost control, it could cause all sorts of damage.

I was using my gutter vac at 30ft today, I am sure if you have a long enough pole you wouldn't need a support pole.

Matt..The omnipole guttervac pole at 45ft needs some support, believe me. A slight gust of wind when manouvering it would put it out of control. It's not like using a wfp at the same height.

For the price they charge for the vac and it needs support.   :-[

Yeh, the poles are 50mm alloy in 6ft sections. Thats why I'm saying about the hazard at 45ft. If you lose control and it hits someone on the head, i think they would wake up with more than just a headache ;)

I dont think they would wake up

we travaled up to have a look at the omni system and it was the pole that was the thing that put me off as it was so heavy
I could'nt lift six sections on my own , so contoling it in a slight wind would be a nightmare

If You have a powerpole for the camera you will only need the top section (About £80 ish i think)
We have used the Omnivac since they came out and we use a support pole at that height.

Hi Steve, How do you attach the power pole to the guttervac pole?

Its a clamp that they attach to the the top section.
All you do is take the top section out and slide the new section in.
