Default MAP X Facta 2 or diawa v roller

At the moment I have 2 preston pro flat rollers that I am very happy with, but a couple of venues recently highlighted the fact that I could do with an adjustable V tripod roller that extends a bit higher.

Does anyone own one of the above named rollers and if so could you give me your thoughts on how good or bad they are.

I had a pro v roller but didnt like it at all so swapped it for a flat one so I dont need anyone telling me I should get on of those.

Thanks in advance

Mark

Default Pole Rollers

Hello. I recently sold my Preston V Roller - just could not get on with it at all. Main problem for me was the actual roller in the middle was not free running or smooth when shipping the pole back. Now changed to the MAP X Facta 2 which i am very pleased with. Very sturdy, easily adjustable by using a small handle, breaks down into 3 parts & packs very neatly into your carryall. As an added bonus much lighter than alot of rollers.

I certainly think this is a difficult roller to beat in the £40 - £50 price bracket.

totally agree with flipper boy, i have also swapped from a preston v roller to the map x facta 2 and it is loads better and extends to about 4' 6" and is very sturdy. and a bargain at the price
