This unique Manfrotto Deluxe Autopole 2 is similar to the standard model but with a more robust locking mechanism. The locking lever features a safety lock in the handle and two locking settings: one setting uses standard locking pressure for lifting, and the second provides additional pressure for a firmer hold. The Deluxe Autopole 2 extends from 2 to 3.7 m (6.8 - 12.1 feet). It replaces the old catalogue number 2950DS. A spring-loaded tip combined with rubber suction cups at the top and bottom provides enhanced security. Floor-to-ceiling or wall-to-wall mounting for solid vertical or horizontal lighting support
