  • Supports 5.0 lb payload for heavy lighting gear

  • Foam grips and grooved shaft prevent rotation during use

Telescopic Handle for Mobile Shooting

The Flashpoint SpeedPod+ is a three-section aluminium pole built for photographers and videographers who need a lightweight support that extends to 5.3 ft. It holds up to 5.0 lb of gear and includes a lockable swivel handgrip plus an adjustable flag-holding strap for versatile on-location or studio work.

Stability Under Continuous Load

Three flip locks clamp each section firmly so the pole will not slip during extended takes. Two longitudinal grooves on the shaft mate with ridges in the handgrip bracket to stop unwanted rotation, while the handgrip’s own angle lock uses matching grooves to keep the set position fixed throughout a session.

Replaces Fixed Stands and Short Poles

The SpeedPod+ upgrades from static light stands or shorter fixed-length poles when you need rapid height changes and one-handed repositioning. It is not suited for rigs heavier than 5.0 lb or for users who require a rigid, non-extending support for permanent installations.

Questions about this item

Does the 5.0 lb payload limit affect stability when the pole is fully extended to 5.3 ft?

The pole supports up to 5.0 lb at full 5.3 ft extension; three flip locks secure each section to prevent slippage under load.

What mounting thread does my light or modifier need to attach directly to the 5/8" adapter?

The built-in adapter provides a 1/4"-20 stud, so any accessory with a 1/4"-20 female thread mounts directly.

Will the lockable swivel handgrip stay fixed on the grooved shaft when I use an older flash bracket?

Longitudinal grooves on the shaft mate with ridges in the handgrip bracket, preventing rotation of the handgrip around the pole.
