QP5 Lock Upgrade Kit

QP5 Lock Upgrade Kit – new locks to retrofit

With the Lock Upgrade Kit you can upgrade an older QuickPole Series 5 to the locks we introduced with the QuickPole Slim in 2023. With just a little twist the pole locks tightly, and lateral movement is completely prevented.

The kit contains four nuts and four clamping rings. Installation is easy and requires no tools: unscrew the old locks, pull the sections apart, remove the old nut and the old clamping ring, slide on the new nut first and then the new clamping ring, put the sections back together and screw the nuts tight. All steps are shown in the Lock Upgrade instructions.

Please note: QP5 boom poles shipped since May 2024 already have the new locks. You only need the kit for older poles. You can tell the difference by the clamping ring: the old one has 4 segments, the new one has 8.

Good to know: There is nothing wrong with the QP5 locks from before May 2024 – but we have managed to take another real step forward here. If you feel that the locks of your QP5 no longer close tightly, this is in most cases due to skin grease and sweat settling on the tube over time. It then helps a lot to clean the tubes and the clamping rings with methylated spirits or 95% alcohol. We recommend cleaning a boom pole at least once a year – our video tutorial on YouTube shows how. For complete maintenance, there is the QuickPole Maintenance Kit.
