I've had no issues with using a short TV antenna mast, drilling some
thru-holes and getting those 7" construction screws and anchoring the
mast to the wood pole with at least 3 screws. You don't want it to turn
in the wind or get knocked sideways when a heavy raptor tries to land on
it. I've got several that are over 10 years old and still in use. I
also have a number of ubiquiti J-arms deployed similarly. Trying to
band it to a pole is inviting trouble with rotation and keeping it vertical

We have used theband-it to secure cables on a tower. It's a great
product, but I would not consider it strong enough to secure an
antenna mount.

Basically the same thing as the band-it, but bigger. It's supposed
to be bands around the pole and then use the holes in the channel for
mounting something. I guess there's no reason it wouldn't work
backwards though.

Similar to this principle but much heavier.

Hose clamp goes through slots and around the steel pipe. Bolt goes
through the wood pole.

I've been wracking my brain on that description. If there's band
clamp it usually goes the other way, with a band clamp around the
pole and they give you either a stud or a threaded hole to mount
your equipment on. I wonder if they took a banding mount and just
installed it backwards.

I like this but pricey but still will likely go with it if I find
nothing else.

I saw one on a pole a few weeks back that had a banding bracket with
a hose clamp that went around the steel pipe and a long bolt that
went through the wood pole. Been looking online for something like
that with no luck. Its like above with bolt through pole but instead
of clamp kit it had a banding bracket and hose clamp to attach to
the metal pipe.
Have used j-arms for this before but they're flimsy and have had
them blow over in the wind. Not wanting that to happen in this
application.

I need to mount a small steel pole to a wood light pole. The kits I
see online are like $300 range and way more robust than I need. Just
mounting a small yagi a few feet above the top of the wood pole.
Does anyone know of anything?
