Thank you! We're taking a little bit of a summer break, but should be back with new videos starting Sept. 6th.

So how tall is the flag pole really? The Biltmore stick gave an estimate of just over 16', but the other method gave 33'.

I'm sure the Biltmore stick is too low in this case, because I couldn't hold it 25 inches away from the camera. And the other method should be only a rough estimate. I'll try to get down to the park again and do it for real soon.
