I ended up with this one because it was on sale:

The vertical post is actually 3 pieces. The last two pieces join between the base and the adjustment handle (and it actually goes down to 7.5 feet). The post is a beveled slip-fit that jams together as it slides together. I drilled through the bottom tube and put a bolt through so that the two tubes fit together but are never completely jammed (because it's a pain to get them apart if they are jammed tightly!). Then I drilled a second hole through both and put a bolt through that they couldn't turn or come apart. Just unbolt the bolt that goes through both and they slide apart.
