GB,.. when you are ordering, the carbon gooseneck is worth every penny. Its about 85g lighter than the plastic angle adapter + thread adapter + brush socket and gives you a little extra reach too.

oh right! i'll give that some consideration, the reason im not keen on a goosneck is because i have to get over connys alot and i doubt i would be able to get flush contact with my brush on the window as you cant adjust a gooseneck can you?

GB

I have the carbon gooseneck and I also have the standard set up with a swivel. The gooseneck is pretty versatile, I thought I would have issues getting to the tops of windows when going over connys with the gooseneck, however I've no really had a problem, just slightly more difficult. However the reach of the gooseneck means that the pole is much less likely to touch the roof.

I'd say that the gooseneck is well worth having and if you got both set ups it very fast to change heads.

Simon.

interesting point you make. thankyou

The 30 is very usable as an every day pole, it's lighter than many other 25 footers out there, however you can break the pole down and remove the bottom section if you want, then you effectively have an slx 25 pole. Order an extra butt cap and it will help protect the pole.

Order one of these with it GB.

It will allow you to take the end (thinnest) section off (use as 25ft pole), still use the quick release end & retain the insulated base section! ;)

You will still be able to add the end section back on when you require 30ft.

http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/info_SL_GOOSENECK_ADAPTO2.html

It's an adaptor to make the original MKI slx into a quick release end. You WILL NOT glue it in though, it just clamps in to your No-2 section and so you end up with a super-rigid 25ft slx which retains the standard size quick release end. Much better solution than removing the base section. ;)

No mate, you will have the same quick release end on as standard. So anything that fits that, fits this too. You do however, need the threaded adaptor to use the plastic neck, which just clamps in to the Q/R end. You're better off buying the unit as a whole, here is what you need-

With the Q/R end on the Gardiner poles, you can just swap whole head assemblies in seconds with ease & no tools. ;)

Can you only put on extreme brush in the carbon gooseneck? Or can you just add them to the standard plastic angle adaptor?
