The idea for CrossPole came to us when we were visiting a set in Venice. The lack of ceilings or floor to support the equipment over the canals that were being filmed made us dream of a new product that could overcome the difficulties and limitations of the location. The result was the CrossPole: a support system as simple as it is useful!
INTRODUCTION

CROSSPOLE FEATURES
EXPANDER:
The first of the two end plates is the expander.
It has a pre-loading index which can be pre-set
to the distance between the two walls so that
the CrossPole's tension can be fine-tuned with
minimum adjustment: designed to guarantee the maximum
safety and resistance for the CrossPole's working
life. |
 |
TUBES:
The X400KIT is supplied with six tubes
in special aluminum to
cover any distance between two
walls from 80cm (2.7ft) up to 4 meters (13.1ft).
The 3m (9.8ft) tubes used to bridge 6m (19.7ft) spans are available
as an accessory - code X406. |
 |
STATIC PLATE:
The wall plates have a special component
that pivots to allow the
tubes to bend and guarantees
the maximum grip with your wall.
Provided with levelling bubble and
assembled with bolts (no rivets). |
 |
LOCKING COLLAR:
Dedicated component that prevents
the telescopic tube from sliding under load. Provided with
aluminum handle grips and rubber covers. |
 |
MAX LOAD:
Given the wealth of applications and
combinations of one or more Crosspoles, we
decided the best thing to do was to declare
the max load in the most extreme scenario:
When using one CrossPole at 6m (19.7ft) length, the max load is 75kg (165lb)!

The Avenger CrossPole is a heavy-duty telescopic pole designed to span gaps from 80cm (2.7ft) up to 6 meters (19.7ft) and support up to 75kg (165lb) of lighting equipment and grip gear at any height from the ground.
A protective plate at each end allows the pole to expand between ordinary upright walls without damaging them and without the use of nails, screws or glue. Safety and security features make it ideal even for the kind of heavy loads that film lighting demands.

FOR ADDITIONAL SAFETY IN DELICATE APPLICATIONS:
Install another CrossPole, taking care that, once
pre-loaded, the second CrossPole can be connected
to the first CrossPole via the CrossCoupler. Secure
the lighting equipment to the CROSSPOLE by the
safety cables. Test the set up by hand-stressing
the boom in different directions.
PERIODICAL INSPECTIONS ON FIXED
INSTALLATIONS:
You can also use the CROSSPOLE for fixed indoors
installations. For this type of installation, a periodical
inspection - every 8 days or less - is required.
