I just made my 10ft emt pole into a 16 foot pole. Got another 10foot and cut into 4foot sections.

Hopefully the support system i made works well. Thanks ste i have to say the turnbuckles was an awesome idea. Now i might need to make the middle support.

Thanks for your help! If Manfrotto makes one then it's probably gonna be expensive too ahah but I don't think I have a choice. :( Ah well I am waiting for my F1000s to ship before my rig is ready. Can't wait to try it out!

Oh perfect Ste. The one at Henry's is for special order. I wonder if I can find anything at Rona/Home Depot that's a 16mm hex head with 3/8" thread. If only it wasn't so far. What is your next project anyways?
