21 Foot Aluminum Telescoping Mast / Push Up Pole With Penninger TB-1500 Tripod! Extremely portable but ready to provide years of permanent service too! Weighs just 4.6 lbs for easy carrying and is perfect for temporarily supporting antennas, cameras and weather station remotes. More versatile than fiberglass or plastic masts and particularly useful when a lightweight, quickly deployed metal mast is required.
Five non-tapering sections expand from just 63 inches to a full 21 feet. Bottom section is 1.5 in diameter.
The top section is 1 in diameter and perfect for mounting most any small to mid-size antenna or weather system. Tube wall thickness is 1/16 and four heavy-duty thumb nut compression clamps make for quick and easy adjustment of individual sections. You can raise any section by any amount to get the exact height and rigidness you need! When securely mounted at the base and with most lightweight items attached, guying is not usually necessary. However, guying is always recommended, particularly when used outdoors where wind may be a factor. Guying also will minimize sway which may be critical in directional antenna and camera applications. The most frequent question we are asked is How much weight will this mast support? It will depend entirely on what you mount on it, how it is mounted at the base, if guys are used and how you plan to extend the mast with the load attached. Our own personal, unscientific experience has shown 5 to 10 pounds of vertical weight is reasonable. Keep in mind, this is vertical weight and wind and/or off-center mountings may cause the mast to sway or flex. Once again, guying and a good base support is highly recommended. Used in conjunction with our matching Penninger Radio TB-1500 tripod, Penninger PMB Wall Mounting Brackets or the Flag Pole Buddy RV Mount, this mast is IDEAL for permanent mounting on RV's, buildings or posts! The ability to raise and lower it quickly means this mast can stay mounted all the time.For portable applications, we have matching tripods, hammer-in stake and drive-on tire mount options available too. This listing also includes the Penninger TB-1500 Tripod. The Penninger Radio TB-1500 tripod supports a 6' to 40' mast and consists of all aluminum components and stainless steel hardware--no tubing or parts that might rust! With proper use, the Penninger Radio TB-1500 will last a life-time.
Unlike most other tripod designs the TB-1500 tripod uses a patented clamping system and bushing that will not scratch or damage your mast. Innovative American Engineering and Manufacturing: The TB-1500 has large, flat, triangular feet with pre-drilled mounting holes for either stake mounts, screws or lag bolts. These holes provide the ability to quickly install the tripod directly to the ground, on or any flat surface with ease. When using on black pavement, drywall screws can be used to quickly secure the tripod to the pavement. The Penninger Radio TB-1500 securely holds 1.5" diameter masts, pipes or poles, and the upgraded TB-2000 is available for 2" masts.
Penninger Radio tripods are machined for an exact fit so your mast and tripod can even be transported without removing the mast. Attention to detail and precise machining is a specialty of Penninger Radio. This tripod can be permanently installed or easily folded to transport.
Guying or base-weighting is not required but always recommended for most installations, particularly if the tripod is not secured to the ground.
