Our 7m poles are perfect for lightweight portable radio operating. They represent the optimum balance between weight and height for applications where the poles must be carried to site. Longer poles are hard to manage in many conditions.
Note that we usually glue on the base cap of the 7m pole, as otherwise it tends to work loose and fall off. If this is a problem, please leave a note in the "Order Comments" box when checking out and we should be able to supply an unglued one.
Base caps on 10m poles are not glued. The top and base caps are push fit on the current 7m and 10m poles, but tend to stay on a bit better on the 10m poles.
Dimensions and weights approximate. Poles may differ from the pictures in colour.

Applications
All our poles will support a lightweight longwire or dipole antenna with ease and are readily erected by one person. They will stand a moderate wind if properly erected. Each pole comes complete with a set of instructions and our suggestions on how they might be used.
Other Uses
These poles are also ideal as the top section for home-station vertical antennas.
A few people have purchased them for use as quad spreaders. People have also bought them to use as elements for lightweight HF yagis - six poles would make a near full-sized 3 element beam for 20/30m if attached to a suitable boom. Four poles could make a nice "Moxon Rectangle" antenna. One person bought four poles to use at the end of the elements of his 80m yagi!

Good product, GREAT service
Good product, if used correctly. I was clumsy and managed to break mine first time out. Great service from Richard on getting a spare section sorted, so I bought another one! Thanks Richard for your excellent customer service, will definitely buy from you again.

7m Sotapole
Excellent bit of kit. Lightweight and easy to assemble. I have just ordered a second pole for use at my home QTH.

7 m SOTAPOLE
First class purchase. Does the job well. Probably the best size compromise between height and weight for carrying onto summits for SOTA activations. Full marks on this one.

Follow up to previous review...
M0WJW (my father) and I gave putting up the 7m SOTApole a go this afternoon in Trent Park in IO91WP. We used it to support the High Hopper 20-15-10m bands antenna. The pole is solidly constructed, the twist action works as well as Brian in an earlier describes. With a cross wind the pole flexed perfectly fine. The product is light weight - I carried two poles in the pole bag and was perfect for a quick put up / put down on a small hillside. Superb product.

Excellent service with a great product
My 7m mast arrived promptly along with the pole bag and 7m guy kit. I discovered that the carrier had damaged the wide end of the pole. After emailing Richard a solution was arranged and quickly put into action. The customer service was outstanding and the positive approach to resolving the issue rare to find these days. I will be setting up the pole in early March so will provide a more hands on review then! That said, well made product even from the first glance.

7m Mast
I have not had the opportunity to test the mast out properly yet due to man flu, bad Wx and Christmas, so I can only report on basic observations, hence the 4 star review. I un-packed the mast to check it was all working as described. All work well as advertised the twist grip worked well on all sections which is a plus on other similar masts where tape and Jubilee clips have been used. I will post another review when I have had time to test it in action.
