Personally prefer the extra weight of the stainless especially on a pod. You will never notice the difference in weight anyway with the amount of gear we take. Ive always been a stainless man, it will last forever.

Having had both 316 and prolite grey and now the RP1 in black, I agree with Stu the stainless is probably a better longterm option but I went for black purely for aesthetics

I have the prolite black. Personally I prefer the look and to save the weight, but can see that the stainless will age much more gracefully.
Have noticed for example that the locking levers damage the black finish (which surprised me).

Its only anodised on the black so will scratch which was another reason why i went with the 316 as scratches play havoc with my ocd. Some of the black banksticks ive seen on ebay have no anodising left and are bare silver aluminium. Not an issue with the a pod mind as you dont push the sticks into the ground.

Just bumping this up as very keen on a stainless RP1.....although nobody appears to have any stock!
Any more long term reviews?

the rp-2 is just around the corner, was shown at one of the shows, might be worth waiting to see if you like the new adjustability on the rp-2 ,failingbthat you may get a rp-1 cheaper as people look to sell to get the rp-2.
I had the prolite rp-1, preferred my nano pod

I think I saw in the comments on one of the Jag Facebook posts that they were working towards end of April
Apparently they were going to be showcasing the RP2 at the Big One back in late Feb/early March but it never happened 🤷

You can see it on the Jag facebook page. Its a lot bigger than the rp1 still fixed. Actually looks too big if I am honest
