Does anyone know of a pole or tubing source for either Carbon Fiber or Aluminum collapsible poles. I'm looking to make an adjustable pole the goes into sections less than 24" that can go from about 6 -8 ft high. Fibraplex poles are not thick enough. Easton Poles do not have an adjustment mechanism and the .742 pole is only really sufficient for about 6ft high.

Thanks

Fibraplex poles are not thick enough.

That surprises me a bit — I know that Fibraplex has replacement poles for the Black Diamond mids. I know that is only about 5' high, but if they can do that I would think they may also be able to meet your need. If you have not asked them, perhaps you should?

I actually did call fibraplex and they said they could not recommend that pole for more than 5 feet. It is 3 small poles epoxied together to create strength. They said you would need perhaps 7 poles expoxied together to create the strength at a height of 6 or 7 feet which would be very pricey.
