Good luck finding someone part with one. If you go to trackcages.com you can buy one for under 200. Well worth it.

Buy an telescoping painting pole from Home Depot.

For what it's worth, http://www.everythingtrackandfield.com has free shipping and about a $20 discount on this item now.

The telescopic pole with a 45 to 80 cm horizontal rod is the way to go. Measured with a certified steel tape it is the more accurate way to go.
Why? The poles tend to be more rigid at higher heights. With the longer pole I can measure way past the WR. The certified steel tape conforms with all rule books.
While I've gone laser this year, I still do a steel tape measurement first to ensure the laser equals the tape.
