The XP S-Telescopic LITE is a replacement upper pole assembly for the XP Deus, Deus II, and ORX metal detectors, built to minimize fatigue during extended hunts. At 14 ounces, it's the same lightweight pole that ships standard with the ORX, designed for detectorists who prioritize portability and all-day swing comfort. The telescopic design collapses in seconds for backpack storage and adjusts to fit your preferred search height without tools.
What's Included with the XP S-Telescopic LITE
- XP S-Telescopic LITE upper pole (telescopic section only)
- Armrest cup
- Armrest strap
Why Deus and ORX Owners Reach for the S-Telescopic LITE
- 14-ounce weight reduces arm fatigue on long park hunts and field sessions where you're swinging for hours at a time.
- Collapses to 23 inches for backpack carry, letting you hike into remote sites without strapping a full-length pole to your pack.
- Tool-free length adjustment adapts to terrain changes and search posture without interrupting your hunt.
- Compatible with Deus, Deus II, and ORX lower poles and coil assemblies, making it a drop-in upgrade for any XP system.
- Patented ergonomic S-curve design shifts weight distribution toward your forearm, reducing wrist strain on uneven ground.
Fatigue Reduction on Extended Park and Field Hunts
The 14-ounce upper pole keeps your swing arm fresh when you're working a large park grid or covering open fields. We've run this pole on multi-hour sessions where the stock pole would leave your forearm aching by the second hour. The S-curve geometry moves the balance point closer to your elbow, so less torque loads your wrist with each sweep. Detectorists hunting trashy sites where you're making hundreds of target checks per hour notice the difference most, the lighter pole lets you maintain a tight swing pattern without muscling the detector through recovery cycles.
Backpack Portability for Remote Site Access
The telescopic design collapses to 23 inches, short enough to fit inside a standard daypack without external strapping. When you're hiking into backcountry ghost towns or accessing permission land that requires a walk-in, the folded pole rides inside your pack alongside digging tools and finds pouch. Full extension reaches 51 inches, covering the height range most detectorists need without adding telescopic slop. The locking mechanism holds position under normal swing forces; we haven't seen drift during ground-balancing or coil lifts.
