During the day, will this thing look stupid sitting on top of my 14' flag pole? I have relatives a few doors down who are really into UFO siting's. :)

I added a new Golden Ball on top and told people that it was a flying saucer equipped with GPS.

I havent used this in a while but im pretty sure the magnified image will not be right side up. This doesnt matter for viewing things in the sky but is not very good for viewing things on the ground. I would choose something else for your purpose...

Without a half moon or better it will be dicey. Also consider any interior lighting might be bounced off the window killing some of the clarity. Ruts in the road will not be obvious without moonlight shadow. Depends on a bunch of things. Slow putting around and you are probably OK. Off road racing would be scary.

I am using a 20 ft telescopic pole but it is not Sunsetter. I have not had an issue with the light even during periods of strong wind. The only caution to users of this type of light is that to be sure you have enough shaft length on the ball at the top. It is recommended that there be a minimum of 1.5" but I found that wasn't enough. To compensate I removed the ferrule on the ball.

I haven't looked at it in a couple of months, but I'm sure it looked like a fairly solid bar of light. It's zero outside right now, but when it warms up a bit, I'll take a picture of it and let you judge for yourself. I will say that if it's possible to make a trailer look classy, they definitely make it look professional and upper scale

I used it as a part of a puppet stage. I used one of the puppet stage poles to set it up. Basically, a stand with a tall pole on it (you could use a flagpole). Then I cut a small hole in the top near the flag, ran the top of the pole through the hole, and hooked it on the top of the pole. It looked great!!!

Just as someone here answered the higher you go the higher the area it will light up. I provided pictures for a 20ft pole but total is around 16ft of height due to in ground of around 3-4 ft. Do know that on cloudy days the amount it will last will be reduced. I am considering replacing and putting a dusk till dawn light in its place and re-installing on an area that is just too far for me to wire.

I hung it from my pole system that is out in the open. It also does well on shepherds' crooks off a deck or similar. Try to keep it about 5 feet off the ground.

The pull-out view finder is small and not much shielding from the sun. Can try adding a rubber eye cup. Google in YT and check out how it looks to you.

I don't know what you mean by an uncommon flagpole but I would take the chance. I removed the ball, placed the light on top and then screwed the ball back on and it works great. If it doesn't work for you, all you have to do is return it for a refund. Amazon is great for this.

Yes, it will light up the 5 X flag. Same height as our pole. It is noticeable at night. As the wind moves the flag outward, the flag may be out of the light at times... We don't mind this.

If you want to use it terrestrially like that, you will need to purchase and image inverter so that the image is not upside down.OOOppss!! My earlier respons is WRONG, the scope has a built in erector, which most astro-scopes don't so there should be no problem.

Depends on how far the flag was from the light, and how bright you want it..but I would think this might be a bit weak....maybe go for the 30 watt one, that will light it up for sure. How tall is your flag?

I never have but mine is in a space that I never had to think about that. You might need to figure something out to make the base more visible for you. Maybe you could post a picture of where you have this, so people could help you with some ideas?

Yes, they tell you to have it off when you first set it up to get charged. It lights the flag well, but I don't think it would bother stargazing if it was on.

I am using the Sunsetter telescoping pole with my solar flag light with no issues. I have my pole 3/4 extended due to where it is but I do not think the light would have any adverse affect on the pole fully extended.

My daughters bday party was outdoors. It worked! I hung it with tape off my gutters and on my fence! Looked amazing!! The wind picked up though and it became a hassel. So if no wind then it would be perfect!
