Materials VS Performance Of Telescopic Camera Pole

ALUMINIUM CAMERA POLE

Super low cost to manufacture
Low retail price

Heavy to transport (usually 15kg plus)
Heavy to push and extend upward
Mostly un-useable without a tripod
Cannot extend very high (15-30ft model dependent)

This type of camera mast is designed to be used only as a light stand, but is often re-purposed and retailed as a low-cost aerial camera pole system – but is still not suitable for aerial surveys above 30ft.

FIBERGLASS CAMERA POLE (100%)

Low retail price
Does not conduct electricity

Heavier than carbon fiber composites and 100% carbon fiber
Flexible
Unstable in windy conditions

Unstable for aerial photography and video in windy conditions.

CARBON FIBRE COMPOSITES CAMERA MAST

Lower retail price than 100% carbon fiber
Stiffer than 100% fiberglass
lighter than 100% fiberglass

Heavy material than 100% carbon fiber
Slightly flexible under load
Slightly unsteady in windy conditions

Competitive price with proper top load and suitable for most applications.

100% CARBON FIBRE CAMERA POLE - STANDARD MODULUS CARBON FIBER + UD OUTER SURFACE

Much stiffer than carbon fiber composites
Much stronger and stiffer
Much lighter

More expensive to manufacture
Conducts electricity (avoid power lines and facilities)

Safer, more stable, and more suitable for working in windy condition.

100% CARBON FIBRE PHOTOGRAPHY POLE - HIGH MODULUS CARBON FIBER + 3K OUTER SURFACE

Super strength, stiffness, stability
13 m camera pole can safely support 4kg top load

Expensive of higher modulus material (We used Toray carbon fiber)
Expensive to manufacture
Conducts Electricity (avoid power lines and facilities)
Higher retail price

The professional camera pole system of accurate aerial inspection, landscape survey, etc.
