Can you stick to the pole easy for climbing and tricks without special gloves and shoes? Also how high does it adjust without buying extensions?

I've had my pole for 3 years now (this model) and it still has not been 'broken in' enough for me. My sister can grip on it just fine, but I have crazy sweaty hands and just slide right down. I'm actually in the market right now for switching my pole from 50mm Chrome to 45mm Brass. Brass is supposed to work better with sweaty hands, which I wasn't aware of when I bought my pole originally (impulse, excitement buy after taking my first class at a studio). My ceilings are short...somewhere in the 7-8' range, so I'm not sure how tall it gets without extensions...

it all depends on your strength honestly, at first it is slippery do to the finishing on the pole. Once you wear it out it gets easier. Also you always need to warm up your pole before use. I used to use a hot hair dryer. But now i just rub it with my hands, yes it can be easier with shoes but i never use them, also have sticky hand stuff for days it feels to slippery. But the stronger you are the easier it gets. You can buy static gloves if you prefer, i bought them and never used them though. It all depends how often you use the pole and how used to it you are. Mine fit my ceiling 7.5 feet i believe and i think it adjusts up to 8 feet without extensions. it all depends on your strength honestly, at first it is slippery do to the finishing on the pole.

Kind of ... You will need to work on your grip. Also the pole is a bit more slippery than the one at the studio I go to. The height should be in the description. It's probably 10-11ft

Its the weight not the height of the ladder that is important. The extensions are heald in place by friction. I only put about 170 lbs on the ladder and had no problem.

Not aware of any; extra length would make the flexible pole very unstable. I use a heavy duty 8' ladder when I need some extra height which works fine for most applications. Safety must be the key component in any situation!

The set comes with a pole to reach higher clothing...it is very convenient. I am 5'4" and have no problem getting items from the top!

Yes it does adjust in height. I think there are foul levels. Also, you can buy leg extenders but we never needed them.

Yes. This system is the best portable I've seen and used. Poles are air pressured like air shocks. When you untighten knobs poles release slowly. I've raise them 10ft. They may go a little higher.

The top step is 5'7". Add to that your 5' and the reach of your arms and tthat is 10' and some inches. So if you are trying to get to 13' I don't think this will do it. If you are using some sort of long handled device, for example a paint roller on a short pole, then maybe yes. I would personally err on the side of caution and get more ladder than I need, not less. No point straining and stretching. This is supposed to make a job easier.

Yes, the pole probably is the length advertised but, like others have said it is not sturdy fully extended. I have used it fully extended several times and the joints start to fall apart too. That said the pole is much better at shorter heights, it then becomes much more rigid. Hope this helps!

I cannot answer this question. The Flipstick with the adjustable length is to increase the length. I do not know if there is a model for shorter people. The regular - non-adjustable - model may or may not work. I would suggest trying it and if it is too long then return it.

Total overall length from end to end is about 52". The hand grip looks like it's glued and fits over a smooth aluminum tube so I would consider it not removable. The duster end is molded plastic and crimped into the tube, also not easily removable. Unless you get really creative, I would say it won't attach to your extension pole.

The pole I purchased was about 14 inches before extension. Relatively good length for walking around to use for up close shots

The underside is sticky. You can peel off layers of the heel to adjust the lift to the height you need. I peel off one layer to make it a one-quarter inch lift. I use them in my Nike trainer shoes, because you can lift up the insole and put underneath. I have one leg shorter than the other. Works great.

The poles come with a plastic bracket and two self tapping screws on each side also same for the rope and clips as long as you have a gunel more than two inches there shouldn't be a issue. For the price I am happy with the result.

Most definitely. You will want to search for the 3" Fitter version that comes without pole.

Yes, it is easy to adjust for heights. I am also 5ft 2 and my husband is taller. So far I am really happy with my Ironman Gravity Machine.

I am not sure if I understand the question or the issue. I did not feel like climbing back with a tape but it must be around 1 inch. There are no adjustments. You could lower the rail by adding a stud between the rail and the joist for something like a light fixture. Saris has a good tutorial video on YouTube where you could see the parts and assembly.

You can use it with the lower height or add the extensions so that it is higher.
