Choose from the complete load: Support hardware is part of the antenna system, not scenery. The mast, base, adapter, guy point, guy lines, surface, wind, feed-line pull, and antenna geometry must work together before RF performance matters.
Use these selection checks
- Start with the exact antenna and configuration.
- Count height, weight, wind area, leverage, coax pull, wire tension, transport, and fall zone.
- Choose a base for the site: ground, clamp, surveyor tripod, vehicle, deck, wall, or sleeve only where documented.
- Use the stricter limit whenever the antenna, mast, mount, adapter, or environment disagrees.
Confirm the support chain
- A shared thread or diameter does not prove a complete structural relationship.
- Adapters solve one interface; they do not transfer every load rating.
- Guying improves stability but does not increase the mast or antenna rating.
- Use the current product guide and exact package identity for every support chain.
Reject the plan when
- Reject power-line exposure, lightning, uncontrolled wind, weak surfaces, and public trip hazards.
- Keep the fall zone clear.
- Lower the system if any support moves or deforms.
- Never work beneath an unstable mast or loaded antenna.
Price and physical fit come after the site, load, and complete configuration. If any published limit is missing, do not silently invent one; reduce the load or ask Chameleon technical support to review the exact installation.
Use the current Chameleon support hardware instructions.
