Funny! I tried it a for awhile, it did not work. Went back to it, it did not work. Finally I figured it out. Have you figured it out yet? A couple of things: 1) the pole pulls out to be longer. It should be as tall as you are. 2) it seems like it does not fit in hole. But, you have to push hard. 3) Look at picture on box. The parts will actually end up looking like the picture. (Smile)

I used a pole but if you Google the question , there are some links that may be helpful.

Just checked my mount and it should hold a 2 inch diameter pole but not bigger than 2 inches. Remember that the diameter is the width. I have not sean a pole that is more than 2 inches in diameter.

This will work with or without the prism type flag poles. Works better and quicker with the prism.

I have an 84" pole with hook for plant (Menards) 1/2 inch around, but you can go bigger, possibly to a little over an inch. Adjustments have to be made but nothing an average joe couldn't figure out.

Yes bolt is not long enough on a sun setter flag pole with top ball. Any alternatives?

I would just look up whichever pole your interested in and compare diminisions? You already know the Maxpedition is 12x5

The Pole is 2" in diameter, however that will be tricky, as it should be anchored a bit deeper for stability on the pool deck.

I'm using the gold ball on top of the flag pole. The ball is attached to a ½" bolt, so anything with a ½" bolt thread would work.

Ehh, I bought one, but had to monkey-rig, re-tap the top ball.If I went to Home Depot I could have probably gotten the correct thread, but I pieced togehter what I had. The problem is that the socket/thread on the top of the pole is a non-standard thread (Coarse v Fine). I somehow got it to work. Not 'textbook' but i like the flagpole in all other ways that I ignore this problem :(

You can get small led lights and stick on the flag pole. If the flag bends over with lights on the pole you could substitute it for a thin aluminum or wood pole. You could even use push together tent poles. They also sell reflective tape on amazon, hardware stores, and dept. stores. You could wrap the tape around the pole or even get fluorescent spray paint and paint the pole. Hope this helps.

Not sure what a "flag pole buddy" is. Please explain for a more specific answer. I have a 22' flag pole with a 3'X5' flag. It works fine for my application. Now to be honest if there is a strong wind and the flag is blown straight out, the light does not cover the entire flag; but, it does cover enough for anyone to see the flag. When person(s) turns the corner on my street the flag is clearly visible from approximately 75 yards away. As I said in my review the ambient light from the pole light up my two walkways leading to my front door very easily and quite nicely.

Hi again! I just submitted an answer to your question. Update: This product will fit any pole measuring 0.625 to 1-1/4-inch in diameter. Hope this helps.

My pole is 25' and I have the light about 8' off the ground. It works great and lights up the flag just fine. The only problem I see in your case is that you would have to keep the solar panel clean due to ground level dust and rain splash. Other than that, it should work fine.

The pole is NOT included, you will have to purchase it separately. Amazon sells various lengths under the John Sterling brand.

I used an old teacher ball pole. You know the ones in a tire with cement. Worked great.
