Three section prism poles gradutated in feet?

Peter, I chose aluminium rather than stainless steel for the weight aspect. We quite often have to use the poles to pick detail within high undergrowth and holding up a prism on the end of 6 metres of pole is a strain – before you ask, no you can’t always swing it up – if the detail is essential you have to lift the pole up and add extensions as you go.
- I only get 2 section 8ft poles anymore
3 & 4 section poles are too much for my helpers to understand to use properly.
Only solid poles 4 now
I remember crew chief tha t taught me to carry a ball of good braided string to measure the difficult verticles. Put a 2oz lead weight on one end an throw ovet the object and measure the string as nd dividr by two.
