Ive been using my SLX-35 for a couple of weeks now and am loving the light weight and being able to extend easily due to having short sections.
Ive noticed that there are a few sticking areas on a couple of the sections that have started to weard down, but nothing that is causing any problems. The only thing I spotted on the pole that could be improved was the little screws on the clamps are very loose and need adjusted from time to time, but Im sure if I remove them and wrap some ptfe tape around them that would sort the problem.
All in all, Im really enjoying using the pole for both top floor and ground floor work, just with it would reach a bit higher.
