I don't use the telescopic rod. It has sat in my truck most of the time. I like a 15ft rod, so I can get it just above my head or above the pipe canes I'm working in. I was concerned when I opened the jtip box and saw it wasn't a 5/8 course thread that every survey rod that I have seen uses. Anyway my rod tip has two parts (Its a seco, fiberglass, twistlock). I simply unscrew the tip (see pictures), add a couple of aluminum washers so the threads don't show and it works. Also I like the fact my bipod is above the jtip. No interference this way.
Hope this helps someone.
