PQS Telescopic Carbon Fibre Pole

The PQS Telescopic Carbon Fibre Pole is a premium, high-strength surveying pole engineered for maximum stability and weight reduction. An alternative to the popular Leica GLS30 pole, featuring a secure twist-locking collar, an integrated circular bubble level, and a standard 5/8-inch threaded tip, it provides a rigid, professional platform for GNSS receivers and prism targets.

Advanced Carbon Composite Frame: Delivers high torsional strength and exceptional durability at a fraction of the weight of metallic poles, reducing user fatigue.
High-Friction Twist Lock: Features a heavy-duty locking collar that distributes clamping force evenly to eliminate vertical slipping under heavy instrument setups.
Calibrated Bull’s-Eye Level: Equipped with an integrated, adjustable circular level vial to help the operator quickly establish and maintain precise vertical alignment.
Universal Threaded Interface: Built with a standard 5/8-inch tip to allow immediate, direct compatibility with a wide range of GNSS smart antennas and optical targets.

FAQs

What type of locking system does the PQS pole feature?

It uses a robust, high-torque twist-lock mechanism that applies continuous circumferential pressure to secure the inner telescopic section safely at any height.

Does carbon fibre offer any environmental benefits over metal poles?

Yes, carbon fibre has a near-zero coefficient of thermal expansion, meaning it will not warp, expand, or contract when moving between extreme freezing or hot site conditions.

Can I adjust or calibrate the integrated bubble level myself?

Yes, the housing is fitted with standard adjustment screws underneath the vial casing, allowing you to easily adjust it back to a true plumb position if it takes an impact.

Is the ground point at the base of the pole replaceable?

Yes, the hardened steel point at the bottom can be unscrewed and replaced with a fresh tip once it becomes blunt from extensive use on rocky or concrete terrain.

What is the standard mounting thread at the top of the PQS pole?

The top is machined with a standard 5/8-inch thread, making it immediately compatible with universal positioning sensors and tracking targets.

How many sections does this pole have?

It features a standard two-section telescopic setup, allowing it to remain highly compact during transit and quickly extend out to its full working height in seconds.

How should I maintain the pole after working in wet or muddy conditions?

We recommend extending the pole fully, wiping it down with a clean damp cloth to remove any sand or grit, and letting it dry before collapsing and storing it.

Can this pole be used safely near electrical hazards?

While carbon fibre is lighter and stiffer than metal, it is still a conductor of electricity; standard safety clearance distances must always be maintained near live overhead cables.

Is this pole compatible with standard bipods?

Yes, the outer diameter of the main carbon tube is manufactured to standard dimensions, allowing it to clamp securely into any universal thumb-release or screw-clamp bipod.

What is the main benefit of choosing this model over an aluminium pole?

The main advantage is the massive reduction in weight combined with higher structural rigidity, meaning it won’t flex or bow when supporting heavy dual-frequency GNSS receivers.
