Gin Pole Rigging Stability

Gin Pole Rigging Stability: Unequal Tension in Guys Guying a gin pole is not about applying equal tension to all guy lines. Understanding the direction and magnitude of compression and tension forces is critical. These forces dictate how the monopod responds under load and help you predict how the system will stabilize during operation. Practical […]
