Pole Series 1 Upper Unit (F7100)

Fanotec Carbon Fiber Poles Series 1

The community has been waiting for a portable, easy to use and yet rigid enough pole for making aerial panoramas using typical DSLRs in the market. Fanotec poles are easy to operate and carry. They can be extended to maximum height in minutes by pushing up and locking each telescoping section. Made of carbon fiber tubes, they are lightweight, portable and are ideal for on-the-go situations and areas not accessible to vehicle mounted units.

Fanotec poles are modular in design. Users can start up with a small module and gradually build up the height by stacking it to a larger module. Each module can be used independently (additional parts needed), creating an array of short poles with different stiffness for different applications, such as horizontal pole for cliff panoramas.

Aerial panoramic photography is ideal for tourism, festivals, surveys, construction planning, and many other applications. It provides a new, exciting perspective of landmarks and landscapes at elevated height. Obstacles no longer obstruct the view at the location.

Features and Highlights:

• Thick cross-layered carbon fiber tubes for maximum rigidity and durability.
• Lightweight.
• Compact in size - fits most cars.
• Anti-rotation system maintains rigid azimuth / yaw locking / accuracy.
• Supports a large range of DSLRs.
• 3/8" stud and 3/8" female receiver for working with other accessories.

Specifications:

Series 1 can be stacked to Series 2 to gain a higher max height.
Recommended loading is 2kg (4.4lbs) for all poles at full vertical extension.

Note: The Fanotec Pole Series 1 is more intended for commercial applications and not recommended for those new to pole photography. We are however developing accessories to make these more user friendly to novice users.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:
* Fanotec Carbon Fiber Poles conduct electricity very well. Please take extreme caution when raising and using these poles around electrical wires.
* Fanotec poles are NOT designed to be mounted onto a rigid tripod. The pole base can be damaged by the added torque generated with the use of camera and lens at full extension. Please see Tripod Adapters Type A and Type B
