Just got my Xtreme Scoop X1 w/ Trident Carbon Fiber handle and Motus Grip.
I appreciate when people post detail photos, so I'm paying it forward. This is straight out of box, not yet used.

Assembly was easy and fast. Handle is sealed on the attachment end, with the female screw inlet. On the other end, it is foam filled, then covered with the rubber cap. End is angled to match the angle of the scoop so it mates flush. Fit in the scoop is snug as it should be.
You can see the ribbed texture of the Trident handle. It's not extremely grippy, but better than a smooth handle. Should help with sweaty hands on beach, but probably won't matter much in water. We shall see.
Welds are very clean and good. Better than I expected for what these scoops cost. Many years ago I used to weld and did some metal working...so these are priced well considering what goes into it.
Everything measures as expected. 2mm thick. 13" x 8" x almost 5" ...it's 10" to the point where the rear slopes and at angle. Holes are 1/2" ...12.5mm flat to flat, 14mm corner to corner.
Have to get my scale to get an exact weight, will do that in a few days.
I very much like the attachment method of the Motus grip. Won't damage the handle, and isn't a pain to remove (requires no tools). It is very solid, it isn't going to budge. Best part is, there is no metallic hardware involved to poke or scratch you.
