Bought myself a nano pod and buzz bars in the sales after Christmas.
Like most of the people on this forum, I have bought many (many!), bits of kit over the years, but this is one of the best.
Great design and beautifully made / engineered.
The bag it comes in fits perfectly into the larger side pocket on my rucksack- very light and very compact when broken down- weighs less than the bank sticks, stabilisers and buzz bars I was using before.
Used it yesterday for the first time-works as well as it looks.
Stable, solid, perfect height and quick to assemble / disassemble.
Really impressed!

looking at getting one of these.... 2 questions if anyone can help
- there is a micro pod and nano micro pod - online it says they are the same extended however the nano packs down smaller? can anyone confirm the major difference? if they are essentially the same outside of being extended surely getting the micro pod instead of the nano makes sense - I dont see why you would get the same pod with less extension potential.
- for the 2 plus 1 buzz bars... are 2 x rear too small/narrow to hold 3 rods set up unless extended?
I don't have a local stockist to check the above hence asking.
Thanks

Hi tom.
The difference in size is the carbon insert length. The longer bar won't fit in a two rod buzzer bag, only a three rod bag. So if someone already has a two rod bag, like me, and they decided to buy just the pod bar, they'd be pretty pissed off if they then also had to buy a new piece of luggage just because of it.
You'd need to open up the rear 2+1 bars to get three big pit reels on them. They are a very compact bar. If I get time later I will take a couple of photos in the garden of them set up open and closed so you can see the sizing seeing as you can't get to a shop.

cheers mate, that answers the pod question, will just go for the micro.
Thanks on the buzz bar. If you can't fit 3 big pits (basias) on the rear un-extended can you get them on 2 x front un-extended, or does both bars need to be extended regardless?
Appreciate the feedback mate, top man

To be honest I don't think I've ever tried to use them with three rods in the closed position. I will let you know later but I reckon it would be stupidly tight. Lots of guys do by x2 fronts rather than a front and back at the shows. I use the std front and rear without issues. My reels are entohs.

Both bars need to be extended regardless. You wont fit 3 Basias on them with out extending.

Yes they will fit, you just have to extend the bars out.

thanks mate - I assume however if you get 2 x rear these work well if using two rods with the middle removed. makes a more snug set up rather than 2 x front

Rear closed
Rear open
Front closed
Front open
Rear closed (no good. Bail arms hitting reels)
Rear open
Front closed (simulating using a closed front bar as a rear. Er no.)
Hope these help. As you can see clearly here. To use as a three rod you need them extended. For two rods with the middle blanking caps fitted they work perfectly wIthout needing to extend them
