Carlos Maeda Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Of all the differences between it and the Klassic series, it's really only this one feature I wish I had. Maybe I'm using wrong terminology or something, but my searches haven't turned up anything... short of cutting up a tennis/hand ball, anyone have any ideas of how I can get something like this onto my pole?

dfisk Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 There is nothing at the factory that we can do to put a rubber bottom on an Avalon pole. The rubber bottom is one of the features on the Klassic pole that makes them Klassic poles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Karlsson Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Maybe a table leg rubber foot... or something like this: http://m.lowes.com/pd/Waxman-1-12-in-Gripper-Pads/3034740 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Maeda Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I've owned a KEG-150CCR for 3-4 years now and really enjoy it. Bought it used but in real good condition off a camera guy for $300. When I needed a locking collar replaced, my local shop (Second City Sound, Chicago) gave me a K-152CCR as a loaner while it was out. After using the Klassic on a few jobs, I realized the only thing I liked better about it was the rubber bottom. To me it wasn't any lighter, I didn't find the dimpled collars to be much better than the cross-hatched ones, and I really didn't see myself taking advantage of the different modules. (Do any of you guys carry multiples and swap them out regularly?) Anyways, that's the reason I'm not looking to buy another pole. I decided to look at other brands and came across these replacement bottoms for Ambient poles and I think the P35 model could fit. I'm gonna call Pro-Sound on Monday to see if any are in stock and if they could give me a better description (ie the internal diameter and depth, is it threaded, etc). http://www.pro-sound.com/p/SAMBP35.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Blankenship Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Buy a rubber ball. Slice it in half. Glue it on. (and, you have a spare). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Maeda Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 It was a tight fit, but the Ambient bottom works perfectly. No cutting or adhesive necessary. Flipped the XLR so that the right angle wouldn't hit the ground when rested. Very satisfied overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
