Checkout Mr. Longarm ProLock 23' at Home Depot [ http://www.homedepot.com/p/Mr-Longarm-Pro-Lok-23-ft-Adjustable-3-Section-Extension-Pole-2324/100177392&apos ;">here ].

I can send you an 'extra' plastic rectangle thingy (like the one you have) and you can drill out the 5/8" hole so it will slide down on Mr. Longarm. I just epoxied mine to the rod... But Duct tape would be more excellent and you certainly will get more Red-Green points. 🙂

BTW: I have a picture of Red Green and I hanging out together in the lodge from 20 years ago. I had hair and even my mustache was black!

Has anybody figured out how to utilize the coarse threads of paint poles, to 5/8"x11?

Or, is this the duct tape point? 🙂 😉

Not directly but I've an old top section of a prism pole that came to grief.
It fits snugly over the top section of a painters pole that I use for my RTK base.
I get it up to about 6 metres.
I drilled a hole through both sections and stick a roof nail (springhead nail) through both.
That's my 5/8 thread adapter.

That base looks awfully close to that tower and the trees

The entire set up is on a trailer. Trees are not really close - just looks that way in photo.

Yes, that one on the trailer, it seems the tower might cause a little bit of multipath. Thats whats nice about a regular pole, pretty thin. I'm not sure why you would want such a high tower? If you had to do a little static to get another point on a job, seems cheaper than a 50' tall tower but none the less, very cool setup.
