Im not the most technically adept person and this pole came together quick and broke down quick.

I recently replaced an older probe with this one and the difference is night and day. Out of the pack to full assembly takes just a couple seconds which is important when someone's life is on the line.

This probe is great. Super easy to assemble. Fits well in your pack. Very lightweight and durable. Has centimeter marks the whole way up so you can measure snow depth. This thing is huge though. Over 9 ft tall. Which can make handling it feel a little clumsy, but well worth it when probing.

This probe is awesome with the little black cones at the top of each segment makes this significantly faster to assemble than poles with out it. Look for those cones on any probe you buy. I also love the rough sandpaper grip so that your hand does not slip on the probe while it is in use. You can throw this out on the snow, grip and rip and in a few seconds your ready to start the rescue. For the price this probe is awesome, best out there.

No issues. Simple (how complicated can it be?), but long, quick opening, and well marked.

I've used a few probes before and I have to say the quickness with which you can go from packed to fully extended is phenomenal. It certainly has something to do with the little nubs on the ends of the pole sections. Might be longer than what most people think they'll need, but I prefer to be on the safe side of that estimation.

Anyways, comes with a little case, it's light, durable, and goes together in literally under 5 seconds. Probably more like 2.

Thankfully, mine's never been used except to practice. But it's light, strong, and deploys quickly. All good things when it counts.

It deploys fast and is light. Only criticism is that the numbered measurements are wearing off after two seasons. It would be nice to have a more robust marking system.

I just got it and so far it seems to work pretty good. It is also very sturdy

Well designed & well constructed. The probe's quick to deploy/breakdown and well marked. The small butterfly nut that expands to lock the segments together looks finicky but seems indestructible. After using an unreliable and faulty G3 320cm, this probe's a great tool.

All you need in a probe - perhaps longer than the average bc or slacker needs, but useful nonetheless. It's light, durable, assembles in a jiff, and packs down to nothing.

Quick and easy deploy with good depth markings...
Not too flimsy to get through the hard pack...
