I cut them down, I've made a mini pole for washing the van and ground floor tight spaces and a camera pole for whilst mountainboarding and snowboarding, got a plan to make a 25 ft camera boom out of my old slx ( currently my spare ) once I've made a gimbal for it. Come in handy as telescopic poles for wilderness camps in my kayak with a tarp too. ;)

Get a really slack piece of washing line and fully extend pole it to its max height. Really show off to the neighbours.

Gardiners sell a bit for attaching a cameras to their poles.

Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Good point, where is it best to go to buy a used pole? I need one to attach a wagtail at the end and long enough to reach 3 floor houses.

I've got an ancient omnipole that now serves as an extending mast for my TV aerial for my motorhome.
