Overview
The QST6 is a lightweight, adjustable aluminum tripod designed to be easily transportable and quickly set up for temporary installations. It is a general-purpose tripod for mounting sensors, solar panels, antennas, and instrument enclosures.
Key Advantages
Lightweight, easily transportable, and easy to set up and take down
Technical Description
The QST6 tripod mast is adjustable up to 1.83 m (6 ft) in height, and the angle of each leg can be adjusted to aid in leveling. It includes a grounding kit. Optional items are stakes to anchor the feet and a guy kit. Sensors and equipment may be mounted to the mast or to a small crossarm. See the Specifications section for load and wind ratings.
You have the option of either a soft or hard carrying case that includes space for other equipment, such as sensors.
Wind Load Recommendation
The optional guy kit is typically attached to the top of the mast and the feet of the tripod. This increases mast rigidity, but the weak point for wind load is in anchoring the feet to the ground. Guy wires may also be anchored using a pn 33832 earth screw anchor independent of the feet to significantly increase the tip-over wind speed.
Benefits
- Lightweight and compact for transporting
- Quick and easy to set up and take down
- Minimal tools necessary for setup
- No loose parts to lose
