It seems to me, that the "Smart Tip", is a part of this whole concept of "faster, lighter, all in one" tools that Javad offers.
I am for that.
Unfortunately, I have a condition, brought on by a tick bite, related to Tick Fever, or Lymes Disease. This makes it HARD to use the monopod, as a data collection device.
I have trouble standing for long periods of time, without something to lean on. Or, sit down. My equilibrium goes on manual mode, and it wears me out, just standing up. Walking is fine. My pole has to have "legs" attached. ie, bipod.
And, due to my extreme environments, I also want to be able to extend it taller. Taller than the monopod will allow. Last Thursday, I could not get radio, until I was up at 12' tall.
So, it seems to me, that we need a NON magnetic pole, that extends to at least 10', and a bipod, that is NON magnetic, that will work with it.
Do you know if such thing exists?
I have been thinking....
What if we had Titanium tips for our Antenna pole?
What if we had all aluminum, and brass pole?
Titanium tips for our bipod?
I have been working on a bipod design, that will not interfere with the smart tip. The legs do not ROTATE, and have semi spikes that can be booted into the ground, fairly well locking it.
I think the "Smart tip" is a good idea...
But, I do think we should discuss the support gear to go with it.
Do you know of any type of non magnetic poles, that will work, besides the monopod, that come with the LS? Ones that can extend taller?
And, non magnetic bipods?
Thank you,
Nate
