The 40' model retracts to 96" and extends to 40' or anywhere in between. We recommend this pole be guyed to maintain stability during certain applications.
There are six sections, with the bottom section 2.0 inches outside
diameter, each subsequent section is 1/4" smaller in size, and the top
mast is .75 inches. All measurements are outside diameter. The sections
are hollow with a wall thickness of approximately 1/8th of an inch. You
extend the sections by twisting the upper section of the "Sure Lock"
handle counter clockwise until reaching the desired height. Each
extend-able section is fitted with stop markers to prevent overdraw when
opening the Wonder Pole. Secure the sections by twisting the "Sure
Lock" handle clockwise.
Each section is nested inside of the other and has a friction stop
marker to prevent overdraw. We fit each section with a "Sure Lock Grip"
which tightens down on the section above to keep the pole at the
desired height, and allows for variable heights without the use of
holes and pins. The precision engineering of the Wonder Pole allows for
effortless, quick extension and retraction of the sections. No assembly
is required and there are no tools needed to use the pole.

I have both the 40' and the 30' and have successfully used them on a G5RV and a Caroline Windom 80m. If you experience winds, you may guy the ends.
