I would recommend sectional poles rather than telescopic for ease of adjustment for height required. Use carbon poles; fibreglass simply do not have the precision required for 30'+.

  I have used both telescoping and sectional style poles, and find the
  sectional is much handier for efficiently adjusting to a new length
  quickly on the spot. Just pull off (or add to) the bottommost section
  as needed, often when under model. The friction of telescopic joints
  not wanting to slide, or wanting to slide too easily can be a PIA at a
  critical moment.

  I have the Leeda Assassin II-- many ferruled sections (carbon) 12
  meter. Carbon modulus rated "18", supposedly the highest in this price
  range. Works great, so far, 6 years. About L110 (British Pounds), not
  mail-friendly and extra costly to ship from England, if you can find a
  dealer willing to do so.
