Why Upgrade Your Equinox Shaft?

1. Say Goodbye to Unwanted Shaft Movement

One of the most common complaints about telescoping detector shafts is unwanted movement between the sections.

Steve's carbon-fiber upper shaft uses a heavy-duty adjustable cam lock to hold the lower rod securely.

Combined with the rigid one-piece upper design, this helps create a stable detecting setup.

2. Enjoy More Precise Shaft Adjustments

Traditional spring-button shafts limit adjustments to predetermined hole positions.

Steve's cam-lock system allows you to position the lower rod anywhere within its usable adjustment range, then clamp it securely in place.

This makes it easier to fine-tune your detector's length to match your height, arm position, and preferred swinging style.

3. Premium Carbon Fiber Without Replacing Everything

You don't have to purchase an entirely new detector shaft assembly to enjoy the benefits of carbon fiber.

This upper shaft replaces the original Equinox upper and middle sections while allowing you to use a compatible lower rod.

It's a practical option for detectorists who want to upgrade their existing equipment one component at a time.

4. Customize Your Detector

Steve's carbon-fiber shafts are available in several attractive colors and woven finishes.

Whether you prefer classic black or a brighter custom appearance, these shafts offer a great way to personalize your Equinox.
