Merlin 4–30 ft (1.22 m – 9.14 m)
The Merlin is the biggest pole in the lineup, and the biggest in the business. It collapses to 4' and extends to a full 30' and at that length, one swing of the pole covers up to 60 feet of ground. Picture tracking a dirt bike through an entire jump takeoff to landing, in a single move. That's what this pole exists for.
Fair warning: the Merlin takes real strength and skill to maneuver at full extension, and it's not for everyone. It's built for working professionals and serious shooters chasing the shots that are otherwise impossible. Flying a camera over festival crowds & on stage where drones are banned, or getting that big sweeping perspective with manual precision and control without needing the credentials or years of practice of an FPV drone. If that's the work you do, nothing else comes close.
Like every FPoleV, it's 3K carbon fiber, the same weave used in bike frames and race parts.
And it shares the same water trick as the Micro & Mini: the end section with the camera thread unscrews and floats with your camera mounted, so a throw into the water gets the shot without losing the rig.
Note: Only the end section floats, not the entire pole.
