A telescopic manual mast is a versatile pole that can be extended and retracted by hand without requiring power. It is commonly used for applications such as raising antennas, lights, flags, or cameras to higher positions for better functionality or visibility. These masts are designed with sections that slide into each other, allowing users to adjust the height as needed and lock it securely in place. They are typically made from materials like aluminum or fiberglass, balancing strength with lightweight for easy handling and transportation.
