BUZZ RACK E-Scorpion XL 2 bike folding rack advice

[Reidy]

Hello, anyone got the BUZZ RACK E-Scorpion XL 2 bike folding rack, using it on a carbon frame?
Quite fancy this rack but I’m wondering if the frame arms are long and high enough to fit to seat post.
My bike is a large with carbon frame, ideally would prefer attaching arm clamp to directly to seat post.

Unless you can buy extra long and angled 'clamping bars' I don't think using the seat post is feasible;

There are plenty of carbon frame protection sleeves listed on Google though

Or adapt it? I spent a bit of time and about £20 on aluminium tube, saddle washers, bolts etc. and adapted my E-Hornet (from roofbox.co.uk, who are excellent to deal with and carry spares for the Buzz Rack range) to enable me to clamp my carbon Fuel Exe seatpost. The hardest part was drilling the holes square and parallel (which I failed to do ). I've also since added some padding (pipe lagging) since the tube was rubbing against the fork.

Or get one of these?

I bought the Buzz Rack equivalent one of those. Bloody thing kept slipping down and turning the bike on! Handy to use in a bike stand though.
