Minelab Upper Shaft Assembly for the X-TERRA Series (Red)

The Minelab Upper Shaft Assembly for the X-TERRA Series is a replacement upper-stem component engineered for the X-TERRA 30, 305, and 505 detectors. X-TERRA owners who've bent a shaft on rocky terrain or need a backup for multi-day hunts get factory-spec fit and cam-lock compatibility from this red-anodized aluminum assembly. This is a genuine Minelab replacement shaft manufactured to original equipment specifications.

What's Included with the Upper Shaft Assembly

• Minelab Upper Shaft Assembly for X-TERRA Series (red anodized finish)

Why X-TERRA Owners Keep a Replacement Shaft on Hand

• Direct-fit compatibility: cam-lock interface matches the X-TERRA 30, 305, and 505 lower-stem geometry without modification or adapter hardware.
• OEM construction quality: red-anodized aluminum tubing and factory cam-lock mechanism deliver the same rigidity and adjustment range as the original shaft that shipped with your detector.
• Field-repair convenience: a bent upper shaft ends a hunt session, and shipping a detector for warranty service costs days of downtime. A spare shaft in your truck means you're back in the field in minutes.
• Compatibility across the X-TERRA 300-series: one assembly fits the X-TERRA 30, 305, and 505, so multi-detector households can share spares across machines.
• Browse other metal detector parts & accessories for additional replacement components and field-repair supplies.

Red-Anodized Aluminum Construction for X-TERRA Durability

The upper shaft uses red-anodized aluminum tubing and a factory cam-lock collar that matches the original X-TERRA design. The anodized finish provides durability, and the cam-lock mechanism holds adjustment tension across the full length range without slipping during a swing. The cam-lock interface is manufactured to Minelab specifications, so the fit between upper and lower stems is solid with no play or rattle. The red finish matches the color-coded X-TERRA 300-series hardware, making it easy to identify compatible components in a multi-detector household.
