A high-beta linear l=1 stellarator plasma is produced in a low-compression 3 m theta pinch whose compression coil (22 cm i.d.) is modified to have a helical offset of 2 cm and an axial helical period of 40 cm. Internal probes are used to determine the spatial structure and temporal behavior of the magnetic fields, plasma pressure, and current. The results are well described by ideal magnetodydrodynamic equilibrium theory.
