Key Features
Construction
Tripod‑1™ is made of 6061 machined and welded aluminum. The mast is constructed of 1” (1.32”/33.5 mm) pipe, which is compatible with standard structural pipe fittings.
Spring buttons lock each segment, and a quick-release pin secures the mast in the elevated position (as pictured).
Standard wire rope clips are used for the stainless steel wire rope guy lines. Guy lines are typically attached to the legs, but may be attached to stakes or other structures.
316 stainless steel D-shackles and turnbuckles make guy line tensioning fast and secure.
Assembly Tools
A 7/32 inch (5.5 mm) open-end wrench is included to adjust the guy cable clips.
Additional tools may be required for anchoring stakes or screws, depending on installation location.
Configuration
Tripod-1™ is available in 6- (standard), 7-, and 10‑segment configurations.
The mast may be suspended in the tripod hub (as pictured), or it can rest on the ground for additional load-bearing capacity. A center anchor foot is available.
Guy cables can be attached to the legs for portability and minimal installation area, or they can be staked separately.
Each leg has an adjustable extension and a large foot. Holes are provided for 1/2” rebar or 3/8” screws.
Extra large feet attachments are available for installations in loose, sandy, or snowy terrain.
