What a great idea, pitty a few pole Makers / Suppliers cant try this over here.
A superb bit of marketing, make your own mind up rather than believing some salesman and his hype!!
I'm thinking of "buying" a new pole but don't want a salesman to "sell" me what he wants me to have.

Post by: SherwoodCleaningSe on October 08, 2012, 03:10:39 pm: The clamps look like they waste a lot of usable pole as they are so big, section 7 would be about 18 inches shorter than section 1. Also I wonder how he gets 7 6ft sections equaling a 42ft pole. There's normally a good 4-6 inches of overlap with poles so you would loose at least 3ft. In the video it looks like he doesn't extend some sections fully which will make the pole look more rigid than it actually is. I'd wait for a few users to start using it in the UK before buying as it's not cheap either.

I am the manufactor of Apollo carbon poles, The pole in question is a 36" they just did a quick math a found out it must have been a 42". The clamps has this size because I want to be sure that the glue sticks.
Just about to launch a new series of poles with lighter carbon, the old 36" weighs 2,2 kilo
