There are a variety of mast classes that all serve valuable purposes; some of the highest reviewed members of these classes are outlined below.   ## WINCH-DRIVEN TELESCOPIC MASTS The STV family of telescopic masts with winch-driven extension raises hefty top-loads in nicely man-portable and deployable configurations. ![STV mast montage 25.png](https://www.cyntony.com/hs-fs/hubfs/STV%20mast%20montage%2025.png?width=249&name=STV%20mast%20montage%2025.png) Heights of 8, 10, 12, 15 and 18 meters are available in two sizes of bottom tubes. Maximum top loads of 55 lb (25 kg) to 77 lb (35 kg) can be handled depending on the model selected. Raising the fiberglass composite telescoping mast sections is made easy by a removable hand-operated winch with cogwheel transmission and strong polyester-aramide reinforced belts guided between the sections. The winch has built-in automatic safety brake to protect the operator.  Comes complete with components, tools and canvas bags.   Click to see the [STV deployment video](https://www.cyntony.com/videos).   8 meters max height, 25 kg: [STV-8/105](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series), 35 kg: [STV-8/128](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series) 10 meters max height, 25 kg: [STV-10/105](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series), 35 kg: [STV-10/128](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series) 12 meters max height, 25 kg: [STV-12/105](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series), 35 kg: [STV-12/128](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series) 15 meters max height, 25 kg: [STV-15/105](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series), 30 kg: [STV-15/128](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series) 18 meters max height, 30 kg: [STV-18/128](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-winch-driven-mast-series) ![STV-G mast alone 345.png](https://www.cyntony.com/hs-fs/hubfs/STV-G%20mast%20alone%20345.png?width=137&name=STV-G%20mast%20alone%20345.png) STV-G is a special version of the family of STV winch-driven telescopic masts for easier mounting inside or outside a vehicle for elevation of antennas, lighting, photography or other similar equipment. Mast sections are made of polyester resin reinforced with fiberglass tubes with durable polyacetal slide-joints. Each section has four longitudinal guideways to align the mast and enable manual rotation around its axis. The mast is raised by a hand-operated winch with cogwheel transmission and system of strong polyester belts guided between the sections. The winch has built-in automatic safety brake to protect the operator. STV-G masts are made in two versions - with 3 or 4 sections.  Winch position, mast foot arrangement, top adapter diameter, height, etc. can be customized.  Contact us to discuss.    4 meters max extension, 10 kg top load: [STV-G/3](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-g-winch-driven-mast-for-vehicles) 5 meters max extension, 10 kg top load: [STV-G/4](https://www.cyntony.com/products/stv-g-winch-driven-mast-for-vehicles) ## MOUNTING BRACKETS & ADAPTERS Universal mounting bracket: [ADK-U/60, ADK-U/120](https://www.cyntony.com/products/adk-mounts-adapters-brackets) Antenna mounting arm: [ADK-R/25, ADK-R/50, ADK-R/100](https://www.cyntony.com/products/adk-mounts-adapters-brackets) Antenna mounting tube: [ADK-C/R1-20, ADK-C/B54-20](https://www.cyntony.com/products/adk-mounts-adapters-brackets) Antenna wall mounting bracket: [ADK-L](https://www.cyntony.com/products/adk-mounts-adapters-brackets)   ## TELESCOPIC LIGHTWEIGHT MASTS ![Telescopic_Mast.png](https://www.cyntony.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Telescopic_Mast.png?width=158&name=Telescopic_Mast.png "Telescopic_Mast.png") The RTM family of portable telescopic masts offer rapid deployment for static mobile and semi-permanent communications applications. Available in 6, 8, 10 and 12m lengths, RTM masts are made from lightweight high-strength composite material and are designed for manually elevating small to medium sized antennas up to 22 pounds in weight. Essential accessories, such as anchor pegs, base plate and guy ropes are neatly stowed on the main assembly, making the mast compact and easy to deploy. The bayonet style section locking mechanism has no exposed parts, screws or levers that could be lost or damaged during transportation and deployment. For fast and effective erection, RTM Masts feature a built in bubble level gauge, situated on top for protection and ease of use.  Guy rings allow free rotation of the mast for directional antenna positioning.  The base tube diameter is 4 inches, top tube OD is 1 inch.   Typical deployment time is about 10 minutes.     6 meters max height, 8 kg load: [RTM-6](http://info.cyntony.com/products/rtm-mast-series-telescopic-lightweight-mast) 8 meters max height, 10.5 kg load: [RTM-8](http://info.cyntony.com/products/rtm-mast-series-telescopic-lightweight-mast) 10 meters max height, 15 kg load: [RTM-10](http://info.cyntony.com/products/rtm-mast-series-telescopic-lightweight-mast) 12 meters max height, 17 kg load: [RTM-12](http://info.cyntony.com/products/rtm-mast-series-telescopic-lightweight-mast) Universal mounting bracket: [BRKT-A022](http://info.cyntony.com/products/brkt-a022)   ## TACTICAL SECTIONED MASTS ![Man-portable_Mast.png](https://www.cyntony.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Man-portable_Mast.png?width=330&name=Man-portable_Mast.png "Man-portable_Mast.png") RSM-6 is a lightweight, man-portable tactical mast ideal for elevating lightweight/wire antennas up to 13 pounds for short to medium-term tactical base station or forward command communications applications.  RSM-6 is packed complete with all accessories, baseplate, guy ropes, mallet, anchor pegs and carry bag, and is easily deployed in about five minutes.  The fiberglass sections fit inside one another for compact storage and transport.  6 meters max height, 5 kg: [RSM-6](http://info.cyntony.com/products/rsm-6-lightweight-mast-6-meters) Universal mounting bracket, 0.5 kg: [BRKT-A022 ](http://info.cyntony.com/products/brkt-a022-0) ![ST-R mast erected 345.png](https://www.cyntony.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ST-R%20mast%20erected%20345.png?width=155&name=ST-R%20mast%20erected%20345.png)ST-R incorporates a three-arm aluminum stay with telescopic support legs made of composite material.
