The Extension Pole
When collapsed, the extension pole measures 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) allowing it to be easily stored
and transported in most vehicles. When fully extended, the extension pole measures 17.7 feet
(5.4 meters), enabling the user to operate the SunEye in a wide variety of locations that are diffi-
cult to access or at the height of structures that have not yet been built. The extension pole con-
sists of four telescoping sections, each with a set of knurls that can be loosened or tightened to
lock that section in place. Each section also contains an internal constraint system to prevent the
sections from coming apart. This constraint system also slows pole section collapse to optimize
safety and convenience.
The Mounting Plate
The mounting plate is a hard plastic platform with a standard tripod mounting screw that can be
screwed into the threaded socket on the back side of the SunEye. The Extension Kit mounting
plate is bolted to the top of the extension pole and both protects the SunEye 210 and safely fas-
tens it to the Extension Kit. The dimensions of the mounting plate are designed so that the Sun-
Eye will not touch the ground if the extension kit is set down, and the corners are designed to
absorb shock. Three recesses on the mounting plate prevent the SunEye from twisting and loos-
ening during operation. The mounting plate is also designed to be light-weight so that the Sun-
Eye is easy to maneuver while the kit is extended.
SunEye Extension Kit Software
The SunEye Extension Kit is intended to be used with a SunEye device software feature called
Extension Kit Mode, software version 4.55 or higher. Selecting Extension Kit Mode automati-
cally selects Quick Skyline Capture Mode.
When using the extension kit, utilizing these software features allows the operator to capture
multiple skylines without having to collapse and re-extend the pole. Details on operation can be
found in the section titled Capture Skylines.
