Questions & Answers

BRANDON L : What is the minimum closed length and maximum extended length of this pole? Strange that this isn’t listed.
MARK K : Can this hold a 300 Pro and the 65cm softbox?MICHAEL D : We would not recommend the SpeedPod to support the weight of an XPLOR 300 and 65cm softbox. A sturdier option would be the Elinchrom Handheld Boom Arm SKU: EL31049.Bryan S : I mounted the AD600 with a 91cm box at first and would not recommend it. I immediately purchased the strobe head extension and all is good. Your setup would be within the weight range of the pole, the only limitation is the endurance of the assistant.
PETER E : Can this be easily converted to a boom pole?MICHAEL H : This is super flimsy and I have yet to use it on a real shoot. The concept is good but the materials aren't pro so can't really put up a Profoto B1X and beauty dish safely. Ya get what you pay for.MICHAEL D : No. It was designed for a photographer or assistant to hold the support in hand .

Your lighting assistant will thank you!

My assistant loves this for when we are working with OCF, especially the adjustable handle. It's easier to maintain the light in place while remaining out of frame. It's fairly lightweight but no issues supporting our OCF gear, a perfect combination!

Perfect for speed lites or very small strobes.

The handle is very light. I wouldn't add much to weight on the end as I would expect it to start cracking. With that being said it is meant to be light and should be able to hold a speed lite which it does (Godox V1) with a small soft box. It does the job extremely well. I would recommend this to someone who needs a very light mobile setup. Don't expect to put a larger strobe on there though.

Small with big impact!

better than expected. Light weight and strong enough. The strap holder is what realy makes this a long term use tool. Perfect for travel as a small compact pole with big impact use. I will purchase a couple more.

The handle assembly is horrible.

The way to secure the handle on to the pole is horrible the screw is hard to line up and easy to strip. There has to be a better way to attach the handle, seriously.

Works for me

It does the job I needed it for. To carry my speedlight and have it off to the side instead of on the shoe.

Very handy

I love the handle, very well made and strong. My assistant also loves it, takes the pressure off her shoulders and hands. Very handy in photoshoots because it can go anywhere and moves to light very fast.

About Flashpoint Telescopic Handle

FEATURED REVIEWS

Very handy

By James L.

I love the handle, very well made and strong. My assistant also loves it, takes the pressure off her shoulders and hands. Very handy in photoshoots because it can go anywhere and moves to light very fast.

Portable, sturdy

By MELISSA K.

Very stable, works great and portable on location

Because capturing the perfect shot often requires mobility and flexibility, the Flashpoint SpeedPod+ Telescopic Handle is designed to facilitate dynamic photo and video work, whether on location or in a studio setting. This versatile tool includes a 3-section handheld telescopic pole, a lockable swivel handgrip, and an adjustable flag-holding strap, all engineered to optimize your shooting experience.

Constructed from lightweight yet robust aluminum, the telescopic pole can comfortably support up to 5.0 lb of payload, extending to a maximum height of 5.3'. It features a built-in 5/8" adapter with a 1/4"-20 stud for easy attachment of various equipment. To ensure stability and security, the pole is equipped with three flip locks that secure the extended position, preventing any unwanted slippage or movement.

For enhanced ergonomics and user comfort, the SpeedPod+ Telescopic Handle is fitted with two foam grips. The pole's shaft has two longitudinal grooves designed to fit ridges in the handgrip's mounting bracket, effectively preventing unwanted rotation of the mounted handgrip around the pole. The handgrip's angle lock also features grooves, ensuring a set angular position after locking with a twist knob.

To further improve user comfort during extended periods of holding light gear, the pole includes a flag holder strap. This innovative feature works to reduce muscle fatigue by shifting weight from your arms to your hip, allowing for longer, more comfortable shooting sessions.

When fully assembled, the Flashpoint SpeedPod+ Telescopic Handle enables quick and efficient positioning for optimal illumination, making it an indispensable tool for both professional and amateur photographers and videographers.
