Subject: Not All Telescopic Poles Are Created Equal? Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:10 am
Hi Guy's,
I am looking for recommendations for a telescopic flag pole / roach pole / kite pole please.
I need one that is 7 or 8 metres long when extended as it will be used to hold up a T2LT for field working when we are away in the motorhome.
I ordered one from Amazon but it wouldn't stay extended even though the weight was relatively light (its an RG58 t2lt not RG213), so I sent it back.
Any links to recommended poles would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Mark,
I use a "Spirit of Air" pole they're not the cheapest but do the job well with a T2LT. A step up would be "Spider beam" but the price is reflective of the quality.

Go to that auction site we all know well and copy paste this line in and it should be the top one. I have one here and it has the thickest top section i have seen like a biro. 7m Top performance telescopic flag pole
