Middle shaft assembly for the Minelab X-Terra Pro and X-Terra Elite (including the Elite Expedition Pack). It is the center section of the three-piece shaft, with the camlock, as pictured. Not an Equinox 700\/900 part (that is 3011-0467) and not a Vanquish part. Official OEM replacement shaft sold by History Seekers, an authorized Minelab dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich shaft section do I need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-Terra Pro and Elite shaft is three pieces: the upper section with the control box and handle, this middle section, and the lower section that carries the coil. Minelab sells the middle and lower sections separately. If the damage is at the coil end, the part you want is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/minelab-vanquish-x-terra-pro-lower-shaft-3011-0419\"\u003elower shaft for X-Terra Elite, X-Terra Pro and Vanquish (3011-0419)\u003c\/a\u003e. If the camlock no longer holds, the tube is bent, or the collapsing section is cracked, this middle shaft assembly is the fix. The Equinox 700 and 900 use a different middle shaft (3011-0467) even though the machines look alike; do not cross them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this replacement shaft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinelab builds the X-Terra Pro and Elite around a lightweight three-piece shaft: 1.3 kg (2.9 lb) for the whole detector, 138 cm (54 in) extended, 63 cm (25 in) collapsed, per the factory specification. The middle section does all of the collapsing, which makes its camlock the most-worked part on the machine, and it is the section that absorbs a fall in a truck bed. Dealers that sell this part describe it the same way we do: replace a worn, bent or damaged shaft section with the factory part and the detector locks up like new. One dealer calls the shaft aluminum and a European dealer calls it fiberglass; Minelab publishes neither, so we do not claim a material. What we can say is that it is the exact assembly Minelab fits at the factory, it is a five-minute swap with no tools beyond your hands, and it fits both current X-Terra models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-size: 13px; margin: 20px 0 25px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3011-0461 (Minelab \"Middle Shaft Assembly for X-TERRA PRO \u0026amp; ELITE Series Metal Detectors\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e811493019239\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinelab X-Terra Pro; Minelab X-Terra Elite and Elite Expedition Pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquinox 700 \/ 900 (use 3011-0467); Equinox 600 \/ 800; Vanquish; Manticore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMiddle (camlock) section of the three-piece shaft; lower shaft is 3011-0419\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHost shaft length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e138 cm (54 in) extended, 63 cm (25 in) collapsed (Minelab X-Terra Pro specification)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Minelab\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, official replacement part\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this fit the X-Terra Elite as well as the Pro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
