53 Telescopic Masts For convenient and worry-free portable operations, you can’t go wrong with strong yet lightweight aluminum Telescopic Masts from WiMo. The masts’ slotted aluminum tubing can be extended to the desired length and locked solidly in place with the attached clamps. Models are available from maximum heights of 13' to 52' in a variety of telescoped section counts (3 to 11) and top and bottom diameters. These versatile masts have a range of uses, including antenna construction, installation of weather stations, and mounting of monitoring cameras. Although the masts are primarily intended for temporary, portable use, they can also be installed permanently if properly fastened to serve as a guying point for a dipole antenna or other functions. The Metal Guy Ring Kit (WMO-23050) features a unique cable management slot that allows for the rotation of the mast while preventing the tangling of cables with the guys.
