Flagpole-To-Go Aluminum Telescoping 9' Portable Flagpole

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 bought this for my camper. It works fine for its purpose, it stays up when extended. However, I have a hard time getting it to collapse back down. Also, when attempting to collapse it, the silver rings will turn a bit as you're turning the different parts. Overall, its a fine pole.

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.

Cheap flagpole, but great value. Can't find another 20' pole for this price. I bought one of these a couple years ago for music festivals and camping. Worked good enough for 2 years, sometimes the sections get sticky but I always got them free. The plastic rings do nothing, it just seems to mess up with you "loosen" the sections too much. You have to "tighten" them with some muscle otherwise I rarely have a section collapse. It's not hard, but a child couldn't do it tight enough. At full extension with a flag, I feel like this is good for maybe 20mph wind tops. I've had TWO 3x5' flags going on a breezy day at a music festival, and this stayed up straight. I figured screw it, threw this in my truck bed at ~8' high, put a flag on it, lets see how strong it is. The top bent in half somewhere between 30-40mph lol. Bought another one because it still works perfect while stationary. So yes this has very thin aluminum walls and it can snap, but just be smart with it and you can't beat the price

I love being able to display the Stars and Stripes when we are on the road. It is nice to have something that is so easily collapsed for storage. It just seems a little flimsy in the top few sections. I added a piece of metal garden stake to reinforce the section the flag is clipped to. Once you get 22' up, there can be quite a breeze. And being along the ocean much of the time- the term "ocean breeze" is evident all the time! I would however, buy another one of these as long as the need to do so isn't from wind damage to the one I have!
