Gin Poles/Monopods
Four Things To Consider
- A great rule of thumb for spacing tensioned back-ties is 60-90 degrees.
- Always secure the legs from skidding out backwards.
- Make oppositional front-ties and normal way of life.
- Always “error” forward in order to maintain tension on the back-ties (the resultant will settle in in front of the fee).
One Thing To Understand
Guying a monopod/Gin Pole is never about applying equal tension to all legs. A full understanding of the direction of forces (both compression and tension) are crucial.
