The XP S-Telescopic Stem is a carbon fiber lower shaft designed for the XP Deus, Deus II, and ORX metal detectors. Deus II owners hunting across multiple sites benefit from the telescopic design. The carbon construction reduces swing fatigue on long hunts while maintaining the rigidity needed for stable target pinpointing in trashy ground.
Why Deus, Deus II, and ORX Owners Reach for the S-Telescopic Stem
- Carbon fiber construction cuts swing weight: lighter than aluminum stems, the carbon lower shaft reduces arm fatigue during 4-6 hour hunt sessions without sacrificing structural integrity.
- Universal XP Deus family compatibility: works with the original Deus, XP Deus II, and ORX when paired with D044, D044-A, or D044LITE upper shafts, so one spare lower stem covers your entire XP detector lineup.
- Instant coil swaps in the field: detectorists running multiple coils (9-inch for trashy parks, 11-inch for open fields) keep a second lower stem pre-mounted on each coil for zero-downtime changeovers between hunt modes.
- Telescopic: store your detector in 5 seconds. Collapse the shaft of your detector and store it in your backpack in just a few seconds. Once folded, your detector will only measure 21 inches in length.
Field Mobility for XP Deus 2 Owners Hunting Multiple Sites
The telescopic mechanism addresses a practical constraint for detectorists who hunt permission properties scattered across a county or state. When you're driving between a colonial homestead site and a 1920s fairground in the same afternoon, a full-length detector occupies your entire back seat. The S-Telescopic Stem collapses from hunt height to 21 inches by releasing two quick-lock collars, no tools required. Our team stores a collapsed Deus II in a standard daypack alongside a digger, finds pouch, and water bottle. The carbon fiber lower shaft pairs with any XP upper stem (D044, D044-A, D044LITE), so you adjust the collapsed unit to your preferred search height once you're on site.
