This small and lightweight pole is easy to carry and ready to be build up within a minute
It is light and small enough to fit in any suitcase, it is developed rugged and durable
For this portable Mini pole we used a fixed screw bottom cap which is flat and padded inside. This gives the pole a stable stand and prevents the mast from unwanted extraction while hiking.
Simply pull out the poles starting with the smallest section. Each section is tapered will lock into the next largest pole. Then just secure from loosening by wrapping some PVC tape around the joint.
A special reinforcing winding technique - several layers of fiberglass are wound in alternating direction (criss/cross winding) - provides greatly increased lateral and linear strength. Stronger joints are achieved by a much larger overlap between the individual tube segments than usual.
Spiderbeam fiberglass poles are perfect for building all kinds of wire antennas
The Spiderbeam Mini poles are perfect for Geocaching, SOTA, IOTA and every traveling HAM.
Even the top segment is rigid and has a usable inner diameter of 4mm to carry your wire-antenna or attach your mini tool and application.
So the pole can be used to its full 10m length - unlike other poles where the top segment is very thin as a whip.
