Collapible Eurotek Pro with full carbon fibre stem

For some time, I have been frustrated with the lack of manufacturers recognition that we metal detectorists really want, is a detector that can fit in a "normal" backsack. The deus is ok, but does not pack down small enough for me, not to mention the cost.
So, I decided to adapt my own solution, starting with my Eurotek Pro.
I purchsed a rigid carbon fibre camera monopod/walking pole for £25 (British pounds) including delivery. The other components were some bike brackets and aluminium tube which I had laying around in my workshop.
Just thought I'd share in case others want to do the same.
Feel free to ask questions.

Well made Mike! Why are not all detectors made like this?

I got mine from Amazon, so paid extra for quick delivery as I did not want to wait a month from China. You can get the same from Ebay for £25, you just need to check they are the same. I will be ordering one to convert my CS4PI later this year.
