The flag hangs from a horizontal rod which telescopes out from the vertical one
They did not. The flag was Nylon and quite ordinary. The flag pole was fairly unique in that it had a pole in the top of the flag to hold it up. This was done because there is never any wind on the moon.
The fabric of the flag has a wire mesh sewn into it. The flag rolls up into a nice little package. When on the Moon, the astronauts extend the pole and stick it into the ground. They can then unroll the flag.
Buzz Aldrin placed the flag on the moon by using a horizontal ground tube attached to the flagpole. This design allowed the flag to remain unfurled even in the vacuum of space. Aldrin deployed the flag by inserting the pole into the tube and releasing it, allowing the flag to extend.
The flag placed on the moon during the Apollo missions appears to "wave" in photographs and videos due to its design and the movement created during its placement. In the vacuum of space, there is no wind to cause the flag to flutter, so the motion seen is likely from the flag being unfurled and the inertia created by the astronaut handling it.
Yes they did. From BadAstronomy.com (see below)Bad: When the astronauts are assembling the American flag, the flag waves. Kaysing says this must have been from an errant breeze on the set. A flag wouldn't wave in a vacuum.Good: Of course a flag can wave in a vacuum. In the shot of the astronaut and the flag, the astronaut is rotating the pole on which the flag is mounted, trying to get it to stay up. The flag is mounted on one side on the pole, and along the top by another pole that sticks out to the side. In a vacuum or not, when you whip around the vertical pole, the flag will ``wave'', since it is attached at the top. The top will move first, then the cloth will follow along in a wave that moves down.

He stuck a flag on a pole in the moon and started talking to his Caption.

the flag waves because it was planted in the soil and Neil Armstrong twisted the poles.this is obvious because int other footage you can see the flag is not moving when he walks past it.Since there is no wind on the moon the flag pole made of the moon landing was an upside-down "L" shape to hold the flag material straight out.

Did you mean "holds the flag" question is confusing
A flag pole is typically a cylindrical shape. It is long and vertical, resembling a straight tube or post. This cylindrical design allows for the flag to be raised and lowered easily while providing stability against wind and weather conditions.
