You can use 1 inch galvanized conduit, it is 1.315 OD which is the same as Cannon booms.  Paint it black and it is an inexpensive alternative

The holes in the body of a Mag 5 ST or Mag 10 STX will take the conduit or fencing pipe.  The pulley end tube (inner tube) on a current telescoping boom on a mag 10 STX is smaller than the pipe and needs a bushing over the pulley housing stud to fit tightly into the conduit or pipe.  On a Mag 5 ST which is the same as the Mag 10 STX except for no telescoping boom or swivel base, the pulley assembly comes with a plastic bushing to increase the stud size to fit into the 1 5/16 od tubing.  If you bought the Mag 10's new, the bushing may have been included in the parts bag even though it is not used and if you saved it you are in business.

I would like 6' Just dont like telescoping booms on side riggers They tend to loosen up and slide in over the course of day.
