In the video it looked like he was gripping around 16.00, if that was a 5 meter pole.

Meet record in PV for Weiler

Weiler, a foreign exchange student from Germany who has attended Los Gatos High in Northern California for the last two years, eclipsed a meet record that had stood since 1989. Weiler, who has a PB of 5.34, called the U.S. high school season merely training for the 12th IAAF World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland (8 -13 July).

“I am glad that I can jump like this in this part of the season and I think there are great things to come,â€

I think this will give a clear example of where he's holding on that pole...

It IS an essx pole. Go to dyestatcal and then go to one of the photo albums for saturday's arcadia meet and you will see a full pic of the pole. I don't think he has a preference lol, basically whatever he can get his hands on!
