I chose a painter's pole from Walmart. it can extend from 6' to 24'. (brand KFFKFF). I had to create an adapter for the top. The threads are slightly different from the usual painter's pole threads for some reason but that was inconsequential since I had to design an interface with the Mini antenna.
