I've the same bed, it will be tight because of the legs length but probably ok. I am hopefully looking at getting one soon, so can report back.

I ended up buying one on Friday and doing a night at weekend using my sp c tech (older version) and there was plenty of head height, not an awful lot of coverage at the front buty hey its a brolly so I wasnt expecting much and I have seen a few companies make the sides for them but that defeats the object in my view (light and mobile)
I hear there will be a wrap of sort at some point in the future.
I also brought the custom jag lightweight storm poles and I already had the titanium pegs, stripped back the gs, original pegs and storm poles and the whole thing is a tad over 3 kilos
So far so good

Really surprised by the head height given it's a taller bed too, that's my main concern having bought a flatliner and being just over 6', sounds good

I'm toying with the idea of getting one, I have a solar cp-tech mk2 standard. I've seen tommys tackle post videos in a 52' and it fits albeit tight but it's raised very high. Anyone used this combo and know if you can drop it lower for a bit more cover?
I would prefer the 58' but by the looks of out of stock everywhere and won't be back for a good while

Hi there,
I've got the QD 52" and use it with an old Trakker Levelite compact bedchair, it's 1.9m long and fits in with a smidge to spare.
The reality is it's a brolly, you don't have the same level of cover as a bivvy but that's the trade of for it being small, light, portable.
I don't see a goretex bag cover and it's spot on, love it.

I've got a 52 and have posted on this on other threads, it's a small brolly designed for smaller bedchairs, the spec they advise in their advert is pretty spot on. I've done a night on my Oval MF HDR and it just fitted, but that was more down to the shape. My other 6 leg RLX fits under lovely as it's a shorter narrower bed, but front coverage will never be great on such a small brolly.
I can remember doing a few seasons under an aqua 50 back in the day and unless the wind was behind me, I'd generally get wet. I just put up with it as I liked the small footprint and squeezing into the swims that others wouldn't bother with.

You're absolutely right, the positives of a smaller brolly outweighs the negatives, such as getting in tight swims.
However, to avoid getting too wet if the rain starts here's a few tricks I use.
Drop the brolly very low.
Use a waterproof bed chair cover that covers your whole bed and almost touches the floor.
Use your unhooking mat as a storm side.
Use a water tub and buckets as the other storm side.
Use a barrow as a storm side.
It's usually preventing mud splash which is the hardest.

Message Dave Ellyatt on Instagram. He'll tell you when the next batch of 58" brolly's are due.

Daiwa mission half the price, better coverage and slightly lighter plus 4 back ribs touch the ground.
