how much weight can this handle? My array of antennas on my mast includig the weight of the pole comes in at around 90 pounds. Thank You.

I think that 90 lbs is too much weight .It might work for awhile but you need to check with the manufacturer to be sure.

We bought this for our camper. We had a straight post mount coming off of our counter. I connected that bracket to the existing mount. Our tv is a 32 inch plasma, not sure of the exact weight. It seems very sturdy heavy metal construction. It does a great job.

It does not come with a mounting pole. Mine didn't either. You will need to find something to attach the outside antenna to depending on the environment you are in.

Well, I used the pole as a totem for a festival, and hoisted a 2-3 pound stuffed animal for 5 days. It held up fine with constant shaking and molestation from other totems around. Almost a year later and it still functions the same. Can't speak for its max weight though

I installed two of these units for my stereo system last year. The most weight I put on one of them is about 60 lbs and so far doing fine. hah adjustable lenghth and elevation wich works well. Hope this helps.

please rephrase the question; the typical O.D. of an antenna is 1 1/4", the same O.D. as the clamp. They are made of aluminum and I do not know what the maximum load for this type of mast would be. Does that answer your question?

We just had winds of 45 mph and 0 degree temps and no problem. I did make my own roof mount though. The antennae has no problem!

Vicki, The pole is in sections. The base is from 1 1/2- 2 feet across. In my opinion, it could withstand quite a lot of wind unless we are talking hurricane strength. I am enjoying mine. Hope this helps.

I purchased the 'WINEGARD TB-0005 5-Feet Swedged Masting Antenna Mount' pole. It worked well and seemed to be a sturdy combination in conjunction with a small antenna. I am using an 'RCA ANT751 Durable Compact Outdoor Antenna ' .

I Used a Satellite dish mast mount. It work just fine. the base can be adjusted to about any angle for roof mounting or can be used as a pole mount such a a 4x4.

Mine is mounted as an in-verted Von a pole and is only 4 feet above ground. The Di Pole is even with my metal roof. Works like a CHAMP. Everyone in my HAM Radio Club loves it. I use the Di Pole for my CB. I live on top of a hill, overlooking Oneida Lake , and the radio works great. I have a 40` tall antenna for my SSB Radio and a Copper J-Pole for my HAM RADIO. Hope this helps.......Cecil KD2GlU.

Not sure what manufacture says, but I would not allow more than 150 pounds on it. And whatever the kids do, don't let them hang on or pull on support poles. A friend broke ours after just having for 8 days.

It's very sturdy - so long as the mast fits. Might want to get some rubber washers for the mount to pole (where you can adjust the tilt) to keep the mast from tilting over.

i live in a campground but i have in on a 12 foot pole. depends on the trees and building around you and the distance to the stations. at one time i just had it bolted to the luggage rack on top of the camper and got good reception.

You can mount it on or into the ground, but it won't stand without some support. I have mine mounted on the ground, but it is along side of my house, so I have an antenna mounting bracket from the house to the mast, about 10 feet above the ground. You may be able to sink the pipe about 18 inches or more, into the ground and it may work out if the antenna you are putting at the top is real small.

Twenty four pounds is probably more than this mount can reasonably handle - my guess. It may hold it up but I'd expect it to sag. This unit appears to be designed for loads of maybe 10lbs or less for good performance.

You certainly need some kink of additional support. That could be guy wires bracing it to the side of your house or garage. At my old house, I braced the mast I had - two 6 foot sectons at the time - to a metal fence post with guy wires close to the top for additional support.
