AdirPro Aluminum Prism Pole - Telescopic 8.5’ (2.5m) - Adjustable Tip – Quick Release Clamp - Metric Graduation - Strong & Lightweight GPS Pole - for Use with Prisms, Rover Rod - GNSS Instruments

A bit heavy but sturdy and wll built

Needed the extra 4'..what a difference. Solid rod so far

This product works very well using a transit to cut a fence line through the woods.

This is a really nice rod, and I really like the "lever-action" for adjusting rod height. Makes tightening the rod idiot-proof, as you can't over-tighten it unless you mess with the adjusting screw. We have had a lot of inexperienced rod men over-tighten the knobs on similar models and damage the rubber bushings that hold the rod tight. A similar rod at my local survey supply store would run at least double what this cost!The reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is that I don't like the design of the leveling bubble. It sits on a small metal ball, and all the screws have to be tight or else the bubble is loose and ineffective. This makes it quite difficult to adjust. I think most other bubbles have a layer of rubber under the bubble that can be compressed, which makes adjustments much easier. However, I think that with some home modifications, this issue could be resolved and still make the rod well worth the savings in cost! I'm going to try removing the metal ball and sticking a small rubber wall protector (the ones that stop your door knob from putting scratches/holes in your walls) underneath it.... Something like that should do the trick.

A great affordable survey pole. I bought a seco pole for $175 in April and then ordered this pole for my other crew. Turns out I like this one better and have decided to use it myself.

When Rod is dropped all the way down the graduation markings don’t go down. When you raise the first rod up the graduation markings does not match the second rods graduation markings and are off. Even with the adjustable tip it does not correct the 2 tier rod graduations to be correct.Will be reaching out to the manufacture about this and requesting a return

Good price (half the price of my local survey supply store) good product.I am hoping they start stocking some replacement parts..

I am a surveyor and have spent much more on survey rods that are no better than this one. I would recommend this product.
