No, but could have which would take it to a 30ft.

The Phoenix 25ft (as at the end of the vid) is same pole sizes as the SLX25.

As Mike said there are two poles in the vid, the UL26 and the Phoenix X 25. The title cards tell you which is which.

How much for a section as this would be handy and intersting experiment .
As I have the 18 FG but very few jobs for the nipper at above this.

saw one of facelifts poles in the impact 43 van when on the course last week, looks and feels like a very good pole if these wear well when in use then i would say they are very comparable in qaulity to gardners, i do think their longer poles should have propper stops when extending for safety reasons
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

Dont like positive stops on sections makes it far eaiser to remove and add sections my Elite pole has painted markers on never had any probs and the markers are still visible if a little worn after 18 months . Mike

You Tube  The Phoenix is rising,  by J. Racenstein.Co 
They show you the top section, small dia. with quite a large hole for the tube. I would suspect that this would be the weakest part, as it must be about 50% of the dia.
And you can't fit an aquadapter!! Perhaps there will be yet another aquadapter on the drawing board.

Mr Fox, this lacquer stuff that's applied to your poles, is it sprayed on afterwards, can we purchase it to refurbish the pole?
Why is the top clamp red? Is it dangerous?

Mark, currently this is a factory based process but will enquire on how to take it further.

As for the red clamp, touch it and die.

In all seriousness, It's there to alert you when opening it the part is different in some way to a standard section. Be it the ultra-lite section, quick release neck or carbon gooseneck for example. Besides that we think it looks pretty cool!
