    I have the shorter version, I used a solid fiberglass rod in the smallest section for less flex. I epoxied it into the smallest section and there is about 2 feet sticking out of the top. It works good as the smallest section is rather flexible.

    Thanks for this useful video. One thought I have relates to gluing the clamps on. I purchased a very similar system from DX Engineering with basically the same clamp. Here is my concern. As the plastic inevitably ages, there is a good possibility that the clamping wings can break in which case you might want to replace with new clamps as the fiberglass is likely to be fine. The problem in this scenario is the clamps are on the pole permanently and thus removal is impossible unless one simply cut the pole down. As I think about the reason for gluing seems like this may not be absolutely necessary in terms of pole stability. I guess much depends upon one's faith in the long term integrity of the plastic clamp as it gets UV etc. Just a thought....Again thanks for taking the time to make the video.

    I have just purchased the shorter version of this mast, and found this video on the Max-Gain website. GREAT job, very helpful. What would be a help to me and others in my position would be to make your calculation sheet into a pdf and distribute it. Saves us all some time, and gives us some rough numbers to begin our site planning. Can you make this available?

    Where did you get the black lever locking system in the 1:28 mark of this video. What are they officially called and where did you get them from

    I was just wondering what the mineral spirits are for? The instructions state to not use mineral spirits. Also something I noticed is that they say to clean the surface with a damp cloth, but what about the inside of each section? If the insides aren't clean then they will simply get more dust onto the surface.

    I've been wanting to buy one of these. I use a 28' Chinese version off ebay right now but my doublet is too low.

    The other option is to use stainless hope clamps. Much cheaper

    I would want to eliminate the top section and add a lower section.
