At Black Diamond, its all about mountain sports. They share the same experiences that you do on rock, ice, and snow. These experiences push them to design, engineer and build the most innovative mountain gear and apparel in the world.

The Carbon Compactor by Black Diamond is a lightweight, foldable pole which makes it great for splitboarding or travel.
Key Features:
- Carbon Shaft – Black Diamond uses carbon instead of aluminum on the Carbon Compactor to significantly cut down on weight without ruining strength properties.
- Adjustable Length – The poles offer a good range of lengths for larger and smaller outdoors folk, with different sizes that are adjustable.
- Steel Tip – The steel pole tip can break through ice and hard snow.

 Throw it into a backpack, makes it easy for traveling. Still high grade aluminum construction. A good Black Diamond flick lock mechanism here. Very durable as far as that goes

The Compactor Poles are a great addition to your gear collection! These are a solid, lightweight adjustable pole that can be used for resort skiing and of course in the sidecountry and backcountry. The Compactors can be adjusted between 46-54in (115-135cm). These poles are also collapsible so you can collapse these poles down to throw in your pack, which is what BC snowboarders will love (unless of course you like to ride with poles, which you shouldn't). Trust us you won't be able to find BD poles at a price this low, tell your friends!

Black Diamond Compactor Ski Poles - YouTube

 Hi, it's Nicholas from Level 9 Sports. So this is the Black Diamond Compactor Ski and Snowboard

 Pole. Yes, I said snowboard. This is a pole that can obviously compact into a very small package.

 If you're a split boarder, you can pack this up, throw it in your backpack. Skiers can use as well.

 It's pull it, slide it out, lock it. That's your ski pole. And then you've got a little bit of

 adjustment here. So you can go from 115 all the way up to 135. So not quite as much adjustment as

 a regular alpine trekking pole. But the versatility behind this pole is the fact that it compresses

 down and makes a very compressible ski pole. Throw it into a backpack, makes it easy for

 traveling. Still high grade aluminum construction. A good Black Diamond flick lock mechanism here.

 Very durable as far as that goes. Black Diamond Compactor Pole. Check it out. Level 9 Sports.

This article was first published on December 8, 2014, and was most recently updated on August 8, 2022. 

Black Diamond has also updated the deployment with improvements for durability and ease of use.

The Black Diamond Carbon Compactor is also an ultralight pole that is strong and resilient. These poles will give you the support you need in the backcountry, in steep terrain, or on a slope.

In addition to the Z-pole technology and ultralight materials, the grip is a soft-touch rubber with a touring strap. These poles also include Compact Powder Baskets, which are needed when snowshoeing.

Black Diamond's Carbon Compactor Pole Review: Height of Performance and Convenience

 We've also have a softer grip where you'll actually be holding the pole and then a little bit harder at the top so that for your bindings or if you're checking to snowpack there's a harder top to the pole as well. The whole pole lineup features the new flick lock edition.

Here's the latest and greatest for Black Diamond's new collapsable and adjustable backcountry ski poles for winter 12/13.

Black Diamond Compactor Ski Poles - SIA '12 Gear ... - YouTube

 New from Black Diamond for F12, it's a whole new ski pole lineup and one of the more unique

 things about the new pole lineup is our new flick lock device.

 Very simple to operate, flick with the thumb or with the palm if you have a big glove on.

 It is stainless steel so it doesn't rust, it's stronger and the design itself is sleeker

 making it 20% lighter than our old design.

 So you'll see the new flick lock incorporated across the new lineup of poles.

 This pole in particular is the compactor, the pole then is collapsible, ideal for a

 set of traveling poles and or alpinists, snowshoers or backcountry snowboarders.

 We've fluted the grips themselves to make them lighter.

Black Diamonds lightest Z-Pole built for mountain athletes and weight conscious adventurers, the Distance Carbon Z is now stronger with improved joint support and durability, making it the ultimate in folding-pole performance.

OutdoorGearLab

The Black Diamond Distance Z are simple, lightweight, and high-performance poles at a lower price than their carbon fiber counterparts. They feature the same design as the Distance Carbon Z, and the aluminum shaft construction adds only two ounces per pair compared to the carbon version. At the same time, they retain the same compact size and minimal yet comfortable grip design as the carbon version. We love both versions of this pole, and since the aluminum-shafted Distance Z costs so much less than the carbon version, they are a great option for those seeking lightweight performance at a reasonable price.
These poles don't offer any adjustability, so you need to be mindful when selecting your size. Other grips on the market are more comfortable. We dislike the thin wrist straps on the Distance Z for hikers or trekkers carrying heavy packs. But for the average day hike, mountain run, or casual backpacking trip, these poles are durable, simple, and affordable.

The Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z offers great performance at a low weight. This model shaves ounces by incorporating carbon fiber shafts, foam grips, and stripped-down features. Often, lighter poles can feel cheap or flimsy, but that's not the case here. Although we don't use these poles for heavy-duty trekking or backpacking, the Carbon Z is relatively versatile and excels in lightweight backpacking, hiking, trail running, or approaching technical climbs. 
The Carbon Z isn't adjustable. Instead, it comes in four different lengths, so carefully identify your size before purchasing. Furthermore, the grips aren't the most comfortable, but they're not bad either. The sacrifices in comfort and adjustability won't be a big deal for weight-shaving enthusiasts. These are the poles we found ourselves reaching for most spring, fall, and summer days.

 There's a little plastic doodad here that's supposed to clip into the poles and hold them but to be honest after literally a few uses they wear a bit and they don't really hold properly but it doesn't matter because the bungees here on the bag will actually just hold the poles together when you're not using them. And you just simply put the bungee around like that which you can do, I can even do one-handed look while I'm videoing and then that just holds your poles just in front of you here so you would have with your chest here you'd have a water bottle on your chest like I have in a few pouches of things and then I tend to put either one pole on either side or two poles in one which I kind of prefer actually. Extended this one's 110 I'm about five foot seven I'd say I'm five eight but I'm not five for seven. If you're a slightly taller bloke if you're above five foot ten five foot eleven you probably want 120 but most people the 110 suits and to pack them up super easy and I'm even going to try it one-handed so there's a very little button here a little metal button that you just press in here we go see if I can do it with one hand yeah so you just press the button in and then the handle slides down a little bit and then that gives the leeway for these to just pull apart and they kind of fold themselves like the magic of cinema they fold themselves together like that so and these little bits at the end do a superb job of just holding these bits together and obviously as you can imagine when you're trekking if you've got these mounted on the front of your bag you simply take pull them out the bungees I tend to hold them here let go and they drop down and then all you do is you can see they're loose this little section here you grab it firmly you said and pull and you'll hear the snap and that button locks in that little bottle that little button there locks in and now the pole is super sturdy and ready to use so they're super quick and easy to deploy they're super strong they're super lightweight I've tried various makes and models of carbon trekking poles and broken almost all of them but these are my absolute favorites and they're the ones that I use so there you go that just gives you a little bit of a look at the black diamond carbon distance Z poles and why they're an absolute favorite of mine
