Engineered tubing to the rescue! Use for making a quickly deploy-able tripod assembly, boom pole, and virtually anything else telescoping! This is a single tube. To make a complete telescoping assembly you will have to purchase additional tubes from the INFINITubeV system to create a telescoping pole.
To meet growing market demand, Rock West Composites is now selling an Economy line of tubes and plates. These products provide a lower bar for entry for customers looking to incorporate carbon fiber and other composites into their projects. This low-cost line is sourced internationally and is best utilized in applications that do not have engineering critical features, but has the convenience of shipping from our Utah operation for expedient delivery.
Our premium Rock West tubes and plates are manufactured to our exacting standards in-house. The result is greater strength and stiffness with guaranteed consistent layups, tolerances, and test results. If you need help deciding what is right for you, please contact us and we’ll assist you as best we can.
Quick Shipping! We generally ship within 24 hours on business days. Expedited services are available. If you have a critical deadline, call us to verify the inventory and shipping possibilities at (801) 566-3402.
Sales Tax Rock West Composites collects sales tax on orders shipped to addresses/states in the United States in which we are required to do so by state guidelines. Tax is calculated according to the state’s guidelines and regulations regarding Shipping, Services, and other non-product related items.
We do not collect sales tax for all states. It should not be implied that tax is not due on one’s purchase because we do not collect a tax. You may be responsible for state and local sales/use taxes when filing your returns. Please check your local sales tax laws. Please contact Customer Service to set up a reseller or otherwise tax-exempt account.
High Volume Discounts: If you are interested in volume discounts beyond the quantities listed on our website, please inquire with us directly at (801) 566-3402.

Features & Benefits
High gloss, smooth painted surface. (Can be sanded)
We suggest the use UHMW low friction tape to maintain snug fit. It is possible to use the same UHMW tape to prevent tubes from pulling apart at full extension (see graphic below).
Fabric outer ply minimize "breakout" typically associated with drilling into composites while giving the tubes the traditional carbon fiber look.
Fabric fiberglass scrim inner ply (~0.005") allows for higher abrasion resistance than carbon fiber as well as reduces fiber splintering typically associated with drilling / cutting into all carbon tubes.
Below are the items required to build a two tube telescoping system;
0° Fibers maximize bending stiffness. Consider bending the tube over your knee.
45° Fibers maximize torsional stiffness. Typically plied together in an opposing manner, i.e. ±45°. Consider twisting the tube like a vehicle's driveshaft.
90° Fibers maximize crushing stiffness and generally assist in overall tube strength. Consider laying the tube on the ground and stepping on it.
