Hi,
Can someone who has one do a quick measure for me and tell me the distance between front and rear buzz bars when the centre bar is extended to the max
Thanks
Neil

Does anyone have the low version? If so what it like? Think this is the one I'm going for, they look smart and they look very sturdy and are decently priced.

I've returned mine and got refunded.

The rod pod looks ok on first sight but after 10 sessions it more or less fell apart. 3/4 of all plastic to aluminum connections came loose

Got the loc down pod and on 2nd time of using noticed that one of the heads on a buzz bar has come loose. Back to the shop me thinks!

Glad I didn't buy this now, was going for this one but looks like they are a load of s**t from what people are saying. Guna go for the solar then I think, but more expensive but at least they last from what I have read

The fox ones are abit expensive but the solar one seams a decent price, I did like the look of the avid one but going to give that a miss with it falling apart on most people

I think the solar one I have seen is aluminium so should be light weight

I had the lok down pod the quality is questionable its a great concept and design poorly executed all the plastic joints had ridiculous amounts of play in them and the threads on one of the buzz bars looked like a one eyed one armed man had hand cut the threads with a Stanley knife ad nothing would screw in properly or straight.



I replaced it with a cygnet quicklock pod much better although I'm looking at something else at the moment only because it's come up on ebay
