Absolute EMC Monopole Antenna Stand

The original ABSOLUTE EMC Monopole is explicitly designed for the EMC market. A low-cost and easy-to-use monopole with no metallic parts, with the exception of the antenna connection screw. The EMC Monopole is easy to assemble. It is fully adjustable in height with the center mast section. Materials used are low permittivity allowing for use in most EMC applications to hold antennas, cameras, RF field probes, cables off the floor, and other support possibilities. The monopole design allows for a small footprint for easy maneuvering around and reduces tripping caused by tripods. If any plastic pieces break, they will be replaced free of charge for the product's life.

The Absolute EMC Monopole is 3D Printed with PLA plastic and uses 1" hardwood dowels for the structure. The kit includes the (1x) Monopole section, (1x) Monopole base (1x) Tripod Head (when ordering, please specify screw thread ¼" -20, 5/16" -18, or 3/8"-16), (1x) MP- Ballast Bag, (1x) TP-Leveling Bubble, and (4x) 1" Hardwood dowels 3 ft long. Or you can choose to purchase pieces and build the antenna monopole yourself. Any 1" wood dowel can be used with the system. 3 ft dowels are standard with a complete kit order. Dowels are available at most lumberyards. Dowels can be cut down for a shorter height, or longer lengths can be purchased for an application where more height is needed.
