Flagpole-To-Go Aluminum Telescoping 9' Portable Flagpole

It worked really well. The only problem I had was the ground was really hard and I couldn't get that stake in. I improvised with zip ties.

I became a member of the Patriot Guard Riders after they escorted my 97 year old father to his graveside service. Daddy served as a Navy Signalman during World War II. One of the members told me to purchase a quality 3x5 foot flag and get a telescoping flag pole. He sent me the link to this flag pole. He told me it was a good price and looked like it would work well for me. Most Patriot Guard Riders travel by motorcycle and their flag pole collapses to fit into their saddle bags. Since I travel by car to join the Patriot Guard Riders when the group does a Flag Line, I just put my flag in the car. It holds up well when the wind blows and it is sturdy. It is light weight and easy to use. I highly recommend this flag pole. ENJOY!

I announce at running road races and triathlons and have had this item of more than 2 years. Event managers are so happy to have the flag they didn't think to arrange for. Many of these events venues are next to open water and lots wind. I've used it well over 100 times and it is still in great condition. Yes it bends in the wind, that's a feature. If it didn't bend it would break, that's how you design things that are light. Same reason airplane wings flex a lot. I have lightweight flags and made sure I didn't buy heavy fabric flags. The lighter the fabric the faster the wind makes it flutter. The flutter offers less resistance. Why is mine in such good condition? I learned long ago that even well meaning people handle stuff too roughly. And nobody cares about treating my gear as I would. I let no one handle this or most of my sound equipment. It's a mindset. Most people don't take good care of their stuff, how can I expect them to do a better job with mine. This item is extremely functional because it has pieces that slide inside each. Bend them and you'll ruin it. If you can't figure that out going in, don't buy it. Your alternatives don't exist, unless you want something so big and so heavy you probably won't use it a second time. I'm writing this today as I buy a 2nd one to keep in the trunk of my other car. I either zip-tie it to fences or poles, or if my vehicle is close I use the optionally purchased tire mount that you just drive your car tire over. It's a flat plate with a vertical section of pipe which screws into the plate. Roll the wheel over the plate and you have your flag up in a minute. I suggest you always use the driver side front wheel or you could drive away without taking down the flag.

I used this as an antenna mast for a small yagi antenna on my RV. used standard pipe standoffs to attach. Works fine. Not sure how this would perform in wind. Seems a little lightweight.

I bought five of these flagpoles for my Airstream. The flagpole holder is machined for standard sized flagpoles. But this flagpole has a plastic handle on the end which makes it just thick enough to not fit into the flagpole holder. When I reached back to the seller they said the handles are glued on at the factory. I was able to get them off with a lot of work. I suggest they describe the product better to indicate the handles may keep the flagpole from fitting into a holder. BE SURE TO READ THEY CHARGE A RESTOCKING FEE if you return them!

Bought this to replace my identical 5 yr old flagpole. The original had finally gotten bent (by someone miss-loading it in the truck) and one of the 4 flag clips 'unsprung'. I thought about replacing with a more expensive and heavier duty pole, but this one had done so well for 5 years and I already had the tire ground mount. I look forward to more years of good service. It does bend a fair amount on windy days, so I make sure the tire mount is spaced a little farther out from my fender on windy days - haven't had any scratches yet! Both are very light and portable.

Great price and strong. However, top one or two sections keep coming down. You REALLY have to twist them to keep them up. However, it was VERY windy all four days at the track and I think the flag is the culprit. I think it kept spinning the tubes and then they would fall down. That being said, it never bent in winds up to 30 mph with a 3x5 flag. I think if the flag attachments were on some kind of swivel mount so it would go a the way around the pole, then it wouldn't twist the pole and cause it to drop.

Very flimsy.

They sent me wrong item and never responded to my inquiry about it.

Flimsy Wouldn't hold up with the slightest breeze.
