7 reasons to use a telescopic pole for your shots from above

Telescopic poles join photographic technology for incredible results

Telescopic poles or tubes are devices made up of two or more tubular elements that slide one inside the other, just like the parts of a telescope. Their uses date back to antiquity, when they were mainly used to channel water to cities. At that time they were made of copper, but also lead.

How are telescopic tubes used today?

Thanks to the advance of science and technology, the use of telescopic tubes and poles has become more and more widespread. Today telescopic tubes are used to:

• transport water
• clean doors and windows from the outside
• install antennas on top of buildings
• monitor the seabed
• take photos (as with our fibreglass telescopic poles)

Apparently, humankind cannot do without air, fire and telescopic poles!
Of course, we will now talk about the latest and most modern use. Thanks to new technologies, telescopic poles can also be used to take photos from above in an intuitive, fast, simple and safe way!

Why is it worth using a fibreglass telescopic pole for aerial shots?

Today it is possible, using precisely the ancient tool of the telescopic pole, to take aerial photos anywhere, even in rough or hard-to-reach places. All without having to resort to purpose-built, expensive and very bulky equipment.

For example, thanks to the three sections it is made of, you can carry your pole with absolute ease. My dear friend Giuseppe, a photographer, recently bought a Smart and I honestly thought he would never manage to load this tool into such a small car. We made a bet... of course he won, twice! First, because he managed to load the telescopic pole through the rear hatch, and second, because he finally managed to show me that the Smart can be good for something, or at least not entirely useless.

These are just a few of the incredible advantages of using a telescopic pole. We at aerialclick.com have identified 7 more, here they are!

7 advantages of shooting from above with a telescopic pole

1. fibreglass allows easy maintenance and easy transport thanks to its very low weight
2. you secure your camera with a double safety system designed after listening to the needs of the best photographers
3. you capture images by locking your camera at different heights without complex pneumatic systems
4. see from the ground what your camera is actually framing from above by pressing a single button and without worrying about anything else
5. you take photos from above even when there is strong wind, something impossible with cranes, jibs and pneumatic systems
6. you can use any camera/camcorder thanks to the universal Manfrotto mount instead of a different mount for each manufacturer
7. you shoot photos from above in under 1 minute, something unthinkable with jibs, cranes and pneumatic systems

The result of these aerial shots with the telescopic pole guarantees truly incredible eye-catching results. Your shots will have a different depth and will be completely unlike any other shot taken from the ground.
