Seems we need a thread to talk / explain about. What the differences are between. Carbon and Himod-Carbon poles.
Is it just a way for companies to charge more for the same pole? By labeling it Himod carbon verses Carbon.
As i have seen it stated here, it's just a industry moniker. I would think that there should be, some sort of an industry standard.
When comparing brand poles side by side before making a purchase. Instead of just hear say or finding what little info on the web their is. Or what info you can gather from reading through the threads here.
We look at pole flex video's, read threads about different poles and brands. Watch guy's using different poles. Read rants about how this is better than that etc.. Get some good info, but i feel we lack in some serious ability. To make, sometimes a better and informed buying decision. But maybe that's just me, because of what i have done and gone through. To get me where i am at today.
Me: I personally like the Unger nLite approach LDR.
The Length Deflection Ratio (LDR) has been developed by the Unger Research and Development Team to provide a quantifiable way of measuring the perfect balance between length and rigidity of waterfed Poles. The LDR formula accurately measures the deflection (or the rigidity) of the Pole when fully extended, with a 5kg weight attached to the centre of the Pole. This simulates the average force applied to the Pole in operation. The resulting number reflects the rigidity of the Pole: the higher LDR number - the greater the rigidity (or stiffness) of the Pole.
The key factor affecting rigidity of the Pole is the material it is made of. The chart below explains the LDR of the 3 grades of material used in the HiFloTM nLite range: Hybrid, Carbon and HiModulus Carbon.
DEFLECTION VALUES
Hybrid Master 18.6 LDR Extension 23.1 LDR
Carbon Master 28.3 LDR Extension 28.9 LDR
HiMOD Master 49.6 LDR Extension 53.9 LDR
