Hi Guys and Gals,
Thought you might like to see these 2 videos of the new Super-Lite2 being put through it's paces. Please note the methodical and scientific methods used to test the strength and robustness of the new Super-Lite2. Also note the laboratory type conditions used for these tests. ;D
These can be seen by clicking on this link below

Blimey! :o :o
-
That superlight 2 is it metal as it sounded like it when it hit the ground.
-
No it's a pure Carbon-fibre weave.
-
Alex i was going to ring Kirsty today but was too late to order that pole,does it come with the new brush.
-
Christ i didn't realise carbon fibre was that strong
-
They use it on f1 cars,strength being the main thing coupled with the light weight of it.
-
Hi NWH,
It comes with the current Super-Lite (Bentley) brush. The new Super-Lite brush will be out soon and all who purchase the new Super-Lite2 package will be offered a cost price upgrade to it.
-
:o :o :o
The old one would be in a hundred pieces!
-
When is that brush out please Alex,do you have a ruff idea.
-
wow :o 8) excellent

Hi NWH
I'd like to see them on sale in November.
-
WOW!!!
That looks brilliant.
Is it light?
How much and what lengths do they come in?
Put my name down. I'll have one
tech
-
what about the other sections how strong are they?
that looks like the biggest one, in not trying to be a dampener i would like to buy one just want to know if it is as strong and the grey ones ive got with my f-16
-
I`ve seen one first hand and they are as strong as they look on the video.
-
alex i know you have put a metal pole in there ;D nice one that should be ok to close the windows
with now, so the top section wont snap
-
What did that poor tree do to you??? trees have feeling to you know :'(
-
Looks like an Unger Carbontec section to me. ;)
-
Hi,
The section that was used for these 'scientific tests'! was the No. 5 section (5th section down) there are 2 more sections down No. 6 section and the extension sections. It weighs about 240g and is a standard production section (minus Logo). All of the sections are equally as strong.

Alex
You are quite famous, i spoke to a guy with a light blue van , forgot his name, says he works with you occassionally.
also spoke to another guy, I think he said he was Julius brother in law.
Small world
p.s. If it was a full scientific test, should you not test your other poles the same way.

Dave do you know Julius as I meet him about a year and a half ago he was on holliday
in monmouth.
Alex this pole seems to be far stronger than the mk1 supper light.

can i see the smallest section being tested i.e the thinnest one at the top because if that can withstand that kind of treatment youve sold it too me
-
I don't know what's going on Alex but I can never see any pictures you post. Also, I can never access any part of your website - including links that you post. I have now tried three different browsers IE 6, Netscape, and Opera) so it's unlikely to be browser settings. I can access every other site I need to and it seems that everyone else can access your site.
This is really bizarre. The only logical conclusion I can come to is that there is something actually on my hard drive causing a problem - maybe a cookie or something. Does your site use cookies Alex? I've tried changing my privacy and security settings to the lowest possible and I've even tried temporarily disabling the firewall.
This is very weird.

Shiner borrow someones laptop if you have too and watch the vid. You won't believe it I can only think it's David Blaine starring in it!

what firewall are you using??, I can see the things therefor it is a problem your end for defo, type in google your problem and it should come up with the problem, if not let me know the error code and I will help you sort it ut, had the same problem years again and i done my head in for weeks,
-
The top section is just as strong i`ve seen that one being bashed about aswell with no damage being caused to it.
-
I spoke to Alex on the phone a few weeks ago, he said he was going to put these videos on!!! well I had already made my mind up, I'm getting one! Luke

It is a lot stronger than the original Super-Lite, it's all down to improved carbon-fibre weave.

I have no spare top sections of the finished article to show how strong they are. The first shipment is coming in from the factory on Monday, so I may be able to show something then. In my own un-videoed testing I have repeatedly smashed a top section with a lump hammer and watched it just 'bounce' off. When I managed to eventually put a split in it, I then fitted it to the top of a pole and was still able to fully use it due to it's inherent structural strength.
-
so Alex are all the sections as strong as the one the video? Luke
-
Hi Luke
The top section has even more knock-resistant walls than the section tested in the video. This is due to the fact that this section tends to receive more knocks against window sills, frames, etc. The section tested was a No:5 section. Sections 4,3 and 2 have the same wall strength as Section 5. Section 6 (last section on a SL-35) and the extension sections are in fact quite a bit stronger than the section tested in the video (No:5).
-
good, oh Alex how did you add your picture to your profile, mine isnt working, or I cant see it at least! Luke
-
Hi Luke
Go to your profile on the left. Under Modify Profile, click on Forum Profile Information. All I did was select my own picture that I had hosted on my domain.
-
what is section 1 like
-
Alex is there any telescoic version coming out? We have been using carbon fising poles but have lately switched back to telescopic poles as they are easier and faster to use.

Section 1 is the top section, mentioned earlier.

Speed of use does depend on the type of work you are using it for. On commercial work I know that I am much quicker with a modular Super-Lite than any telescopic pole. On domestic work, I would agree that a telescopic does offer greater ease of use. We do have a telescopic Super-Lite in development (we have been using the first prototype for five months now) and they should be available for retail sales by the end of this year.
-
i know its the top section
but ive broken 4 top section of my reload, i just go through them stupidly
-
Only 4? ;D
The introductory offer on the Super-Lite2 ends on Sunday the 23rd. We will be taking delivery of them at the beginning of next week and they will then be going out straight away to all of those that have pre-booked.
-
yeah only 4....
-
Alex W, the 4rth Zensorflex fits over the 4rth Reload to protect it £18.50 the Reload has been replaced by the "Gangster" parts are interchangeable, basically the same.
