The mast mount for easy cleaning that I've come up with for my first test site is a tilting 10' tall mast fastened with (3) 3/8" x 5.5" bolts to a pressure treated wooden assembly set in 12" diameter concrete foundation in a 40" deep hole.
The photos from last month shown above as
A work in progress were taken the day of the concrete pour.
Since then, and until I unwrap my wife's Christmas gift, I've had some other things atop of the mast on several different occasions including a couple of cameras and GNSS equipment - see
video for time lapse! The utility of raising and lowering the mast has worked well and the pair of old sash weights have been easily adjusted to accommodate the varying payloads on the other end while being rigged. Once the WS-2902A has been connected, I'll probably go with a fixed counter weight placed inside of the metal pipe.
