Premium Members Tim Moynihan Posted November 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hi guys, just reading this thread now...I have a machinist here whoi has made my monopod and docking brackets for years. He can machine a custom docking bracket for any dock ring. I use a one piece aluminum pod but he can do two piece screw-together pods of any length. They are bullet proof. If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me with specs and I can get it done and ship anywhere.

Premium Members Brad Hruboska Posted December 3, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I improved mine. I re-did the insert threads with helicoils. I popped out the plugs covered them in epoxy and restored the spring pins. its a super easy fix, perhaps the manufacturer would try it. I got the idea from some of the originalSleds where the top caps of the posts were epoxed in place by that grey super strong epoxy that only releases with a torch's heat. ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jon Myers Posted February 18, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi guys this is Jon Myers, I make the Moses Pole along with a friend of mine. @ Richard Romero we do make a 2" for your XCS. @ Robert Starling, the entire unit is made of 6061 aluminum, two Stainless Steel bolts and two steel rolled pins. We do know that it wobbles but there's no need to worry, nothing will break. I've supported my 270lbs on it and it was fine, it you stick it between two chairs and stand on it yes it will probably fail but that's not how it was designed to be loaded. The two "plugs" where the pole comes together go up inside about 1 1/2". The wobbling is a tolerance thing but not between the two plugs but between the machined edge of the plug and the pole. I don't know why he did it this way but the guy we had put them together drilled the holes in the pole and then the hole in the plug at two separate times and then put them together, instead of putting them together and drilling and pinning all at one time. Since it wasn't a structural safety thing he wouldn't redo them. MY personal phone number is engraved on the side of the fork and I haven't heard about ANY problems but one and I fixed that as soon as I could. Eric didn't I give you one???? Maybe I didn't, I'm not sure but I know you didn't buy one from us and I don't remember getting any back with problems stated. If anyone has one and would like me to stop the wobble please give me a call. Thank you for your time. Jon Myers 818-282-5274 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
