This item is actually designed as a fishing net handle but I have had such demand from camera buffs that I have placed this advert in the ebay camera section

Please find below details of how it is put together and used

also available by request are 2.0m 2.4m  3.3m handle of the same diameter and 4 and 5m  handles of heavier section which fold done to 1.0m approx.

I hope the note below explains how it works as a camera pole .

Hi Bill,

I uploaded some photos to Google+

Notes:

1. I used a GoPro camera in "The Frame" (a GoPro accessory) which is lighter than the waterproof housing. Weight is important, if the camera is too heavy, it's difficult to stop the top of the pole from swaying..

2. The brass spigot in the photos has a 3/8" thread at one which screws into the pole and 1/4" at the other which screws into the camera adapter. This is a heavy item, a much smaller aluminium spigot would do the same job and weigh less (I ordered one)..

3. The GoPro has a remote control - this is used for taking pictures..

4. The picture of my sister (pink shirt & pale blue hat) was taken with pole at its shortest. To photographers who think the pole only works when fully extended - not true. You can use as many sections as you need, but it has to be the thinnest ones first. Sure the pole can turn when not fully extended, but provided the camera is not too heavy, this can be arrested with your finger (or duck tape)..

5. There's a photo taken from eye level and from the maximum pole height at the same location to show the different perspective. My partner has a cousin who is an estate agent and she thinks he would be interested in this..

Let me know if you need any more info..

Best regards,
Gordon
