It is easy to carry and to handle when collapsed at just 42 cm (16.5 in), and is a remarkable 260 cm (8 ft 6 in) when fully extended for probing into fallen snow.

Quickie Tensioning System

To assemble the probe, hold the probe cable loop in one hand and the first section (closest to cable loop) firmly with the other hand. Throw the probe sections outward and tension cable until all tapered sections are connected. The hardware is now locked and the probe is ready for use.

To collapse the probe, firmly squeeze the Quickie Lock wings and pull to dismantle the probe. Collapse the probe sections starting from the tip, removing as much slack as possible from the cable as you go. If the Quickie mechanism doesn’t unlock, add more tension to the cable while squeezing wings.
