50 feet Heavy Duty Fiberglass Push-Up Mast MK-8-HD
The MK-8-HD mast is by far our tallest mast offered. It can be extended to a maximum height of 50 feet when well guyed and with a strong base. This mast will get you above most obstacles to achieve maximum height, line-of-sight, maximum gain, and the best reception. Our masts are completely adjustable along the entire length of each tube.
These Masts are most commonly used for Antenna supports, Arial Photography, and almost any other situation where you need a bird’s eye view or elevating an item into the sky.

GUY YOUR MAST
A tall structure such as our full-length model MK-8 or MK-6 series masts (including the HD versions) MUST be guyed and kept under control with guys even while being erected. NOTE: Do NOT use metal guy cables with this mast system! Metal cables are conductive and HEAVY and add significantly to the vertical loading of the mast. Enlist three friends, family, or neighbors (or 4, if you choose 4 point guying) to stand in the approximate locations of the guy anchor points, and to hold the guy ropes and “feed them out” as you extend the mast, all the while being certain that the mast stays vertical. We recommend guying at least two levels with three direction guys. The kit below comes with everything we offer to guy your mast effectively.
