Bought this telescopic rod to me in front of our Asia vacation and am more than satisfied. I specifically needed him for diving and was not disappointed. My fear was the staff could rust in salt water but this I can not confirm. Everything is light and the shutters close not too easy and you can hear a real click what I've missed in other bars and everything to "limp" seemed to me. The bar makes a very sophisticated look. We tested him in moped riding, waterfalls, fish farm basin and the Apes, he also kept standing. Great thing because so close I could reef sharks, moray eels, lobster and Co. never come and I envious glances harvested :)
