Thought I'd post what I ended up doing. The telescopic shaft with shipping was to expensive for me to justify. But I did find a cheaper alternative which looks very similar. The Andoer C-555 carbon fiber monopod. Found one on EBay for $41 shipped from China. Ordered a few other parts here and there to modify. I' very happy with the results! I made a video of my process and include a parts list if anyone is interested. Cheers!
Hi Steve,
I'm contemplating ordering one of these telescopic shafts for air travel with my Deus. I'm wondering, wwhat's the length of the longest shaft part when totally disassembled? Also, is it possible to mount the control unit to the handle?
Thanks!
Ryan
