Description

A pillar with a circular cross section stands on three feet which pivot together for storage. The upper foot has a rectangular weight attached to it which has a screw on top to tighten it into place. A bracket slides onto the pillar which holds an arm with a collar. The bracket is secured in place by a mill edged screw. An extending body tube slots into the collar. The body tube consists of two cylinders, one inside the other. There is an internal thread at the lower end of the body tube.
