I've been using a schedule 40 pipe from home depot for the extension pole on my chief mfg mount, but since I'm redoing my drop ceiling ceiling I thought I might upgrade to an iron or steel extension pole. Can anyone direct me to which pipe I'd need from Lowes or Home Depot for a Chief MFG mount?
I read somewhere that the standard PVC pipe adapters could easily be substituted for the Chief MFG mounts, and found that to be true --- however the PVC isn't very strong, and I bought a Chief mount because I wanted something very solid instead of the cheapo monoprice mount I used to have. It seems the pvc pipe (though it works) compromises the solidity of the mount since the PVC pipe flexes easily. The nice part of using the PVC was that I could cut it to the exact length I needed - 10", which isn't an option for the Chief poles which only come in 3, 6, 12, etc lengths.
I could buy the CMS012 which is the closest Chief MFG extension pole, but that's $30 buck and I've got to think a pipe like this would be $5 at home depot. If nobody knows the answer then I'll just try to hunt it down in the store.

I figure some of you guys might know this off the top of your head? IE -- @MississippiMan, do you have any suggestions?
