I love this mast. Easy slide adjustable height. Very strong. I have not needed to guy this even at full height. I am using it to get a Diamond X300 up to 20ft above the ground, and so far, excellent results. Moonraker packed this item really well. Can fully recommend.

I purchased 2 of these masts to support a temporary end fed wire antenna 37m long. They are extremely robust and were only anchored at the base and 1m up, I expected to have to add guying but this wasn't necessary as they aren't particularly flexible and I live in an exposed location.

I sealed the open ends with self amalgamating tape but anticipate that rain water will eventually enter around the clamps but it's easy enough to remove the bottom cap. I am very happy with the mast strength and construction.

The adjustable clamps do the job well though the telescopic tubes were initially a tight fit into each other but I didn't apply lubricant as I didn't want future slippage as they wear-in. I would have preferred a stainless steel nut and washer to the plastic one at the clamp adjustment point and that may be a retro fit.

Glad I spent the money on this mast. Will out last me

I use this pole to affix two IP POE cameras and Ppt transmitter to a sight screen to live stream cricket broadcasts. The headload is about 6 kgs and I affix the cameras using 21mm to 25mm half couplers when in the poles closed mode, then clamp pole to sight screen using 48mm to 51mm half-couplers, then extend it vertically, then rotate it until an upper hook in my assembly adds increased top end support. Absolutely brilliant bit of kit and so much easier to use that other options that I have tried.

Not cheap compared to stainless steel telescopic pole, but as strong, with the benefit of being lighter than aluminum telescopic pole, which I found distorted when I tightened the clamps. Super bit of kit that will have a myriad of practical uses.

A tip. I searched unsuccessfully for suitable "pole clamps" for ages until I spotted a small "half coupler" on a music stand. Once I knew they were called half-couplers, I found them easily on Amazon. Might be an idea if supplied on this site or a link provided. This review should help.

The mast being 2 in in dia fits very nicely into the drive on plate once the base cap is taken off (it slides off fairly easily) with it on it won't fit and the 3 in is too wide. This only applies to this particular mast. In my experience.

This is a superb telescopic mast, and very strong compared with some others on the market. The clamps are strong and secure and very easy to use.
