Start with the Zensor/equivalent then go on to the M/F16, skip the Gangster.
The gangster is strong but a bit bendy and most want to go higher than the 29ft that the gangster get s you so next step realisticaly after Zensor is an M16/F16 which will get you to 42ft.

yes buy one for the wife and for slightly higher jobs you can combine both of them to reach an extra few feet.

Thinking of getting a zensorflex myself. How much extra height do you get per extra pole added ? I'm needing 30ft at the moment, but wanting to go higher in the future, needs to be something I can add to every now and then.
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

I cut a small pice off an angle adapter- so that I can still use the angle adapter and glue it inside the Zensor, dont force it in, needs to be a precise fit.First cut approx 5^ off the tip off the N04 section then 2 1/4" approx, as in pic and then slide the alu piece inside and glue, I akso drill a few small holes in the alu to allow the glue to key. Its all on Matts site.

For those unable to find a Ron Thompson Zensorflex, I have an alternative its called a" Shakespeare(code 1033.800), In2"- a Put In"   8m 8section I paid £20 for mine  8) (made in china)code . Its slightly stiffer than the Zensor and I have stumbled across it for converting the M16. Its a different format than the Zensorflex in that its a put in rather than a put over, which will mean nothing if your not a fishing type, also slimmer sections and the taper is smaller. The pole and the conversion will take some explaining. Which I will try to do tomorrow  :)
