The XP S-Telescopic Stem with Lower Stem Assembly is a replacement shaft system for the XP Deus II metal detector, featuring a collapsible telescopic design that folds to 65cm for backpack storage and an ergonomic rubber grip shaped to fit the hand's natural contour. Deus II owners hunting across multiple sites per session benefit from instant setup and teardown without sacrificing field-adjustable height or arm-cup comfort. The stem's improved handle angle and grip design reduce wrist strain during extended hunts, and the telescopic mechanism provides greater maneuverability than conventional fixed-length stems. This assembly serves as a direct replacement for worn or damaged Deus II stems or as a spare for detectorists running multiple coil configurations.

Why XP Deus 2 Owners Reach for the S-Telescopic Stem
- Instant storage in 65cm folded length: collapse the detector and store it in a backpack in seconds, eliminating the bulk of conventional fixed stems when moving between hunt sites or traveling to remote locations.
- Ergonomic rubber grip reduces hand fatigue: the grip is molded to match the hand's natural shape, and the improved handle angle positions the wrist in a neutral posture during long detecting sessions.
- Field-adjustable height without tools: the telescopic mechanism locks at any desired search height and adjusts on the fly as ground conditions or target depth change throughout the hunt.
- Lightweight construction maintains Deus II balance: the stem assembly preserves the detector's weight distribution, keeping the coil-to-armrest balance that makes the Deus II comfortable for all-day use.
- Direct XP replacement part: manufactured by XP Metal Detectors to the same specifications as the original Deus II stem, ensuring compatibility with all Deus II coils and accessories without adapter requirements.
Collapsible Design and Ergonomic Grip for Deus II Portability
The S-Telescopic Stem collapses to 65cm when equipped with a 9-inch coil, allowing the full Deus II detector to fit inside a standard hiking backpack without disassembly of the coil or control unit. The telescopic sections lock securely at any extension point, and the mechanism adjusts in the field for height changes. XP's research department designed the rubber grip with contoured finger channels and an angled handle position that aligns the wrist with the forearm, reducing the pronation stress common with straight-grip stems. The arm cup is padded and the strap adjusts for forearm circumference, distributing the detector's weight across the arm rather than concentrating it at the wrist. The lower stem assembly uses XP's reinforced plastic coil-mounting hardware, compatible with all XP Deus II coil options including the 9-inch, 11-inch, and elliptical configurations.
