A pole arm system comprising:
- a pole having a length;
- a pole mount assembly comprising a first pole mount cup and a second pole mount cup, wherein the first pole mount cup and the second pole mount cup are identical, each of the pole mount cups comprising a pole mount portion and a shaft mount portion connected by a bend, the bend having a mating edge having a perimeter, the pole mount portion having a first axial passage adapted to surround the pole, the shaft mount portion having a second axial passage adapted to surround a shaft of an additional component of the pole arm system, the first axial passage having a first end and a second end, the second end terminating interior to the perimeter of the mating edge, wherein the bend locates the pole mount portion and the shaft mount portion at different vertical positions relative to the length of the pole when the pole mount portion is surrounding the pole;
- and
- a pole collar assembly adapted to support the pole mount assembly at a user-selected location along the length of the pole;
- wherein the first pole mount cup and the second pole mount cup are mated together by aligning the first axial passages of the first pole mount cup and the second pole mount cup around the pole and placing the mating edges of the first pole mount cup and the second pole mount cup adjacent to each other.
