The assemblies or upgrades that use the extended base tube are basically built the same as the
standard DXE-MBVE-5A which is described in detail earlier in this manual. The SAF-T-TILT™
base and the aluminum vertical elements are all the same for all of the DXE-MBVE-5A models.
The only difference is the base tube length (Short Base tube is 14”, Long Base Tube is 36”) and
associated hardware.
