Hooyman makes a ten foot 4 section that collapses down to around 30". Brand was originally designed for hunters, but they're gaining ground in other groups as well as releasing their versions of shovels, rakes, axes and the like. I picked one up because it'll fit into the storage compartments on my pontoon boat. Don't need a saw on the boat often, but after the 3rd time I was "dang, I wish I had a saw with me", I did a little searching.
MSRP for the 10' is $100, but the 'zon currently has it listed at $55.

I ordered a 10' extendable saw.
I can use it in skinny tops.
Thanks for the link.

The Silky Zubat 13’ is what you seek.
Let us know how you like it.
Do you mind the non-fiberglass aspect re working near power lines, presumably means you need an additional, non conductive pole as well.

Power lines I use core filled fiberglass poles. Most of my tree aren’t near power lines any more, not like the city anyway.

30” to 10’ with a folding blade sounds perfect! Ill look in to this. Thanks!

I look forward to hearing what people think of the Hooyman. I'm kind of hoping they eventually make a longer model with the same pole style. It's very rigid, almost no bend when using compared to my long Silky.
I don't see a need, but I'm broad enough that I could carry the 10' Hooyman braveheart-style across my back if I made a scabbard for it.

Are you going to rename it William Wallace? Rock some face paint?
