I've not used this for real, and hope i'll never need to, but:Comes in a sturdy but light 'quiver'robust 'quick-draw' mechanism and auto lock function is very instinctive to use.The only negative is that you could not probe to the full 260cm with this because the quick draw mechanism/handle ends up about 15-20cm from the handle end, and sticks out as shown in the picture, hence the usable probe length is closer to 240cm. I would guess this is the same for any probe though?
