The older Altius poles had the weight label / max handhold line 3" from the top of the pole (like the newer Gill poles with the yellow labels). The more recent Altius poles I've purchased are labeled like a UCS pole, closer to 6" from the top. You should contact Altius directly and ask them if it's important. Here is the contact information:

3" yellow label is only 1 1/2" on Gill Poles -- but I have that same measurement system with my wife -- will be there in 15 min -- etc.
