I love this mast! It's relatively compact and not terribly heavy. I'd definitely take with me for sota and pota

Just exactly what it says. Very robust. Will fit in standard plumbing clips (it that's your thing). Many possible uses. Careful where you put it in its bag, you might lose it!

Very lightweight. Very compact. But seems rugged enough to do the job for portable backcountry operation. Have been using it with an 80m EFHW over it in inverted V. Worst conditions were in 70kph winds with no issues but a lot of bending int he pole. Not sure I'd want to take it much beyond that. Guying point (with optional guy kit) feels a little low in high winds - but drilling out a new plastic ring to a smaller diameter to go higher on the pole would remedy that. I have had a few occasions where the 'twist-locked' sections have unlocked (telescoped back down). Not sure if that has been me not locking them tight enough or a design issue. Will watch and report back if i get to the bottom of that one.

Again, this product really does just do what it says on the tin. Very easy to deploy, a good length and and a good weight. The supplied bag has begun to self-destruct quite significantly along the primary seam after owning it for approximately a month, but that is hardly an essential item and will just be ditched. The container seems rugged enough for field use, the bag just adds a "tacti-cool" camouflage element. ;) I would buy again, I suspect it will serve me well in the future.

I have had this only long enough to get out on the trail once with it, but that was enough to convince me that this mast is a gem. It is short enough to fit inside my pack and it much lighter than the first mast I was using. Using the Band-Springer Midi with this mast and only two stakes I was able to stand the antenna up. This, however, requires some pretty calm conditions and I removed the top section for greater rigidity. With the above rig I lucked right into some chaser points for a SOTA in progress! Great fun...

Requires good care when extending and stowing. You need to think ahead before attaching the load, because there's no hook, eye or anything on the end of the last section. Once you're through this preps, it's a great field tool.

Really great for portable or home antenna setup. Really easy to put it up and down. Strong enough and light enough.

I like this mast for its superb quality. It is very rigid and it allows to use its full 6m length to support a light dipole even on the very top segment. I tried it out with my portable 2X13m doublet. The mast does not bend under the weight of the antenna. I also tried it out with the W3EDP shortened 80-10m antenna with part of it going up the mast and the rest 7m sloping down to the other support. I like the mast being very stable with no tendency to self-collapse. The only drawback I can name is a bottom cap which makes the diameter of the mast bigger at that place and it makes problematic to fit the mast for mounting inside some other tube. But this is a minor problem since there are numbers of other ways to mount the Mini up.

I've just recently purchased the Tactical Mini, thus only tested it several times. It's a very compact and lightweight mast that fits my carry-on bag, although very stable and sturdy in 30+ mph wind gusts. Very well made, and the communication with SOTABEAMS exceeded all my expectations! Here's more about my first impressions: http://k8ua.com/2019/09/travel-friendly-mast-to-support-a-wire-antenna/. Looking forward to deploy it in the field on a couple planned trips soon!

Having a lot of trees in my part of the world, I've never acquired one of these poles, previously. But wanting to operate in some locations where lines are not permitted in the trees, I decided to get this 6m pole, as it was just about right for using with my Bandhopper antenna, or a number of other portable antennas, such as a 17' vertical, or an EFHW, configured as an inverted L. This pole is pretty light, sturdy and stiff, able to hold up the Bandhopper and its feedline, without much of a bend. The Bandhopper and this pole set up in minutes, so you can operate from practically anywhere. I've constructed a 2' long 2" PVC pipe with a 10" spike at the bottom, to allow this pole to be deployed with other antennas, with no additional guying needed. The entire pole, in its carrying bag, fits within this tube for transport, with space to spare.
