Yes, having the ideal tool is great, but not always affordable. After
moving home to be the caregiver for my elderly mother I ran my savings
down to almost zero. I took some film production courses 30 years ago
back in college and I want to do something with that before I shuffle
off this mortal realm myself. So if I can use a $10 painter's pole,
instead of a $200 pro item, well then that's what I'll do. Of course,
if you want to throw some expensive pro stuff my way then I will be
happy to catch it and make use of it. :-).

I don't know if this would be more or less the same as the painter's
pole you're using, but I once made a boom out of a light bulb changing
pole from Home Depot -
