Thank you for purchasing an X-POLE X-FLY Flying Pole.
We have spent countless hours researching, designing and
creating it. Acting as a bridge between the world of pole and
aerial, the X-FLY allows you to experience pole in a whole
new dimension. The X-FLY can be used with the X-POLE
A-FRAME, studio truss or a suitable aerial rigging point.
We are constantly innovating and looking for ways to improve
our products; if you have constructive feedback on any
X-POLE products, please send it to [email protected].
We hope you have fun with your X-FLY

a sharp instrument to do this as you may
damage the product.
You should select an appropriate space
for your X-FLY, which will be covered on
page 6 of this manual.
It is mandatory that you check your X-FLY
before use. Regularly check & maintain
your equipment.

How does the Aerial X-Joint work?
The X-FLY uses a revolutionary new joint called the ‘Aerial X-Joint’ that expands inside the pole tubes and has 2x additional
locking screws to lock them together and stop them from coming apart/separating. To optimise the Aerial X-Joint’s key
features and ensure correct operation, it is important that you carefully follow these instructions.
AERIAL X-JOINT OPERATION: PLEASE NOTE: ANTI-CLOCKWISE = COUNTER CLOCKWISE
Aerial X-Joints are placed between X-FLY pole tubes
to ensure a secure connection. Standard X-FLY
sets are supplied with one 250mm Aerial X-Joint
and X-FLY Pro sets are supplied with an additional
400mm extension and 250mm Aerial X-Joint.
Aerial X-Joints features removable safety locking
screws in addition to the expansion/contraction
screws found on a regular X-Joint to ensure the
X-FLY remains secure during use. X-FLY CANNOT
BE USED WITHOUT LOCKING THE SCREWS.
Fig. (1.1) Fig. (1.2)
Fig. (1.3) Fig. (1.4)
The Aerial X-Joint features a mechanism which
expands/contracts to lock/loosen the pole tubes
together. Please test this prior to assembly.
The Joint expansion is done by FULLY inserting the
6mm Hex Key (with black plastic cover) into the pole
tube & rotating clockwise.

Dance Area
Floor space will depend on the connecting
method used, however a good rule of
thumb is to have a clear floor space of at
least 4m in circumference around the pole
when stationary.
X-Fly Heights
4M
Fig. (1.1)
We recommend hanging the X-FLY from
either an X-POLE A-FRAME at the
maximum height (3.48m), which requires
a floor space of 8.9sqm. Alternatively, the
X-FLY can be hung from a suitable aerial
rigging point. The height needed will
depend on the connection method used.

X-Fly Rigging
Fig. (4.1)
To secure your X-FLY from Truss using a long strop/spanset we recommend that you choke the strop/
spanset, as displayed above. You will need a carabiner, a swivel and an additional carabiner to then
connect to the eye bolt of the X-FLY. The longer the strop/spanset, the lower your X-FLY will hang and the
more movement you will have. Always aim for 300mm-500mm clearance from the floor to the bottom of
the X-FLY.
Fig. (4.2)
Fig. (4.3) Fig. (4.4)
Using a short strop/spanset (maximum length
of 0.5m) choke over the X-POLE A-FRAME
top bar, you will need a carabiner, a swivel and
an additional carabiner to then connect to the
eye bolt of the X-FLY.
Using the X-POLE Figure 8 connector on
X-POLE A-FRAME top bar, you will need a
carabiner, a swivel and an additional carabiner
to then connect to the eye bolt of the X-FLY.

C. Accessories, connected materials and products, or related products not manufactured by X-POLE.
D. Defects from use, wear and tear, chipped edges from pole to pole contact or being dropped and anything outside of a pure manufacturing defect are

Due to the high specification mirror finish, small tube surface blemishes or stress lines may be visible. These do not detract away from
