Using a flag pole to hold cell antenna?

Question

Anyone out there using one of thos extendable RV flag poles to hold a cell phone antenna. I saw one guy on YT doing it with considerable bend and I assume sway. I assume you might get away with an omnidirectional can but a Yagi would be doubtful

TJ Bowlin uses 3/4 and 1 inch electrical conduit, which I was considering but storing it would be a problem. He has a Class A with infinite storage.
I also heard someone suggesting a painters pole.

I just like to get the booster antenna up higher for those no bar locations.

I have my J Pole Ham radio antenna on top of a 26 foot telescoping fiberglass flag pole. It works great.

I use 2 sections of 1" pvc conduit cut just short enough to fit in the pass through area. I stick them together and lash it to the rear ladder. It may not be the best but works for me

The weBoost Connect RV Cellphone booster kits uses THIS 25ft telescoping pole mount and THIS yagi directional antenna.  They work well together and are recommended.

I’ll try that. Good idea but I take the pole down any time I leave camp.
