Six Moon Designs 45" Black Carbon Fiber Tent Pole

Six Moon Designs produced a sturdy, ultralight carbon fiber pole, using Easton 6.3 tubing, that will serve in place of a trekking pole as a tent support at an almost inconceivably light 1.7oz, or 49g. Some people will find the 15-inch length onerous to pack, but it's easy to strap to the outside of a pack or bike tube, and the sectioning of the pole into only three pieces allows it to be both lighter and more resilient than poles with more sections. It does need to be protected from abrasion, and if it breaks it won't be repairable, even temporarily, the way an aluminum one would, but it is stiffer and stronger, and if weight is all then this pole is as good as it gets.

Purchased for using on hammock tarp Ridgeline for tieouts on side of tarp. Haven't used it yet but it's exactly what I need. Price is hefty, but carbon fiber is just expensive. More durable than aluminum, folds up small. The connection points aren't sloppy glued like similar CF poles I've found online.

Well made, weighs 1.8oz on my scale. I'm using it as a 3rd leg along with my 2 trekking poles to make a tripod for my camera while on backpacking trips. I screwed a tripod head into the top of one of the trekking poles to attach the camera.

Must have. Good quality. Definitely pricey

It's the lightest tent pole I could find for my tent that requires a trekking pole or one of these things. It doesn't have adjustable lengths like some heavier poles that let you adjust the pitch height of your tent roof but a hose clamp which weighs nothing solves that when combined with my fishing forceps or any rigid stem.
