That genie lift is nice, it should be for $3200.
I made my gin pole out of one 6x6x16 and made it with a base piece of 6x6 with two small braces. This prevents the gin pole from leaning left and right. I feel this reduces the risk of it falling over that way.
With the base piece it is bottom heavy and stable to press on.
I have a video on youtube showing us using it to raise a pair of plates when we erected a small garden shed. (search youtube for JimRogers117, and find my channel and look up the raising parts one and two videos.)
We've used it several times. It is easy to move and assemble.
It is fairly easy to use. You just need to have some good points to secure your lines off to.
Keep searching for answers you'll soon have the info you need and it will work for you.
