My stepdaughter gave me a pole and flags a few years ago. On paper it’s great. But it’s lightweight and not sturdy. The sections twist to lock and unlock which sounds great but friction isn’t always reliable. Since I’m big on taking flags in during bad weather and at night I added a pulley at the top as a halyard. Once set up it looks great. But the whole thing isn’t strong and even the halyard has drawbacks. I’d get one that has pins for the sections and has a factory-installed halyard if they even come that way.
I’m at work right now and don’t know the brand offhand. I’ll look at it when I can and let you know what it is.
I highly recommend getting something sturdy.
