This is the ultimate Collapsible Contact Staff!For using this staff, you don’t have to learn even contact tricks, this staff knows how to work itself! Lots of skillful contact players choose this instrument, for example Linda Farkas, who used it in all her life.A good contact staff must have a good swing, which is only possible if the ends are heavy, while the middle is light.This why we offer carbon middle part as an option what is decrease the weight in the middle while it is increase the staff strength. The body of the staff is made by a "Space Tech" aluminum alloy 7075, what has same tensile strenght like steel, but light like aluminum and flexible, so it never breaks or bands. The staff has silicone protectors near the fireheads. In general, if you make a mistake with moving the contact , the heated metal can cause serious fire burns but this will not happen as the silicone parts are there to protect you. The black colour silicone has the highest heat resistance!The collapsible version is 100% straight and doesn’t move or wobble. It is fixed by rubber joints in tension, so the flexible connection is take over the force and will not even move or cluck after a time. The portable sytem is designed for the standard 22X1.5mm tube, it cannot work with the strong version 25X2mm.If the connection is turning but not getting strong, it means that the rubber became slippery. It can cause oily dirt or cold. This case you need to clean the top of the rubber joint or just get it wet. It will work again perfeclty.The flowers estabilish the movement of the staff, they slow the rolling a bit. Furthermore the rubber gives additional weight for the spin. If you like, you can take it down and attach back as you like. They are not fireproof, so dont hold the staff vertically, keep them away from the flames.A soft grip is very suitable but it wears out after about a year. Tennis grip is more sticky and absorbs the sweat, but it is very thin. The best solution is to combine the two materials.With the "Spikes" options you can have 3-3 flexible fireheads in the sides, what makes the staff like a light Dragon Staff. These Spikes are the same like the standard Gora Fire Hoop attachments. The spiked portable contact staff weighs 1410g. It is not recommended to ask extra weight, big isis or big wicker head for the spiked contact staff. For the spikes there are 3 grommets on both ends and with such heavy heads it would be breakable, and we don't give guarantee for it. -Do not use white spirit, benzene or alcohol based liquids.- Do not hold the staff vertically. Spin it, or keep it horizontal! - Handle the grip carefully to avoid damages. - Dont dip the silicone protector into the parafin.- If the connectipn just turn but not get strong, clean the rubber or make it wet.- If you force the connection too much you can break the thread of the connection. A medium force is enough to fix the parts.- Always test the staff before use to be securelly fixed.- Keep away the rubber connection part from parafin or lamp oil. A portable contact staff weighs 900g. You can ask extra head weight, it is 214g/head. If you ask a special head for the staff, it makes it heavier of course.Portable Contact Staff with big head: 1155g (head size: 10cm long, 5,5cm diameter)Portable Contact Staff with small isis head: 1140g (head size: 10cm long, 5,5cm diameter)Portable Contact Staff with long isis head: 1360g (head size: 18cm long, 5,5cm diameter)Portable Contact Staff with monkey fist head: 1240g (head size: 10cm diameter)Portable Contact Staff with big wicker head: 1440g (head size: 10cm long, 7cm diameter) Gora presents his 150cm travel staff variation of the amazing Gora Contact Staff. Using similar technology to the Concentrate Fire Staff locking system the Gora Travel Contact Staff behaves and performs just like the original model but with a little added weight. It is also essential to ensure that the staff is locked in place and secure before spinning with lit fuel. This staff is wrapped in a generous amount of EPDM rubber and sticky tennis grip making ideal for lots of body contact. As with the whole Gora staff range the core is constructed from 7075 aluminium - super strong yet reasonably light. There's also the added bonus of protective black silicone to reduce the amount of exposed metal work. The staff also comes fitted with 2 of Gora's inverted rubber 'Flowers' which are great for slowing the staff down and add a little weight towards the end of the staff giving it great momentum. The Wick used is 100mm Quality Kevlar®
When broken down the two end pieces measure 55cm and the centre piece measures 60cm.
