Argo Navis Stalk

I just thought I'd share my Argo Navis Stalk also.
It consists of a standard extension pole (I used a pull pin type rather than the twist ones because I've had the twist ones lock up) this allows the height to be adjusted, a Pro-edge paint trimmer (the type with an adjustable knuckle so you can adjust the angle), a 32mm plastic conduit saddle and a 32mm clip-in conduit fitting.
As can be seen in the attached image I added a small piece of self-adhesive foam inside the clip in fitting to stop the pole rattling due to the pole being slightly under 32mm in diameter.
The Argo Navis cradle fits nicely on the trimmer and I drilled 4 holes in the trimmer to match the factory cradle holes and secured it with four metalthreads and nuts.
Total cost around $35 ($27 ot that is the pole so you could reduce that by $18 if you used the normal twist type pole)

Cheers
