+1 to both of those suggestions.
a.. I’ve seen plenty of universal mounts attached to a wooden pole
(J-arms, J-pipes, or whatever you want to call them).
b.. Rohn WM4 is the name brand galvanized 4” wall mount, but there are a
thousand copies out there. Just watch out for zinc plating or other BS
finishes. I’m sure Channel Master is fine.
One other thing, you’re not supposed to drill into the top surface of a
wooden pole because rain will pool in the holes and speed up rotting. You’re
also not supposed to drill the sides within so many inches of the top (4”
maybe? I don’t recall). That’s why those pole-top mounts you see are
straddling the top and have bolt holes farther down. If you put a galvanized
pipe into one of those wall mounts then you can have your mast above the top
and also not be putting hardware at the top. Electric/phone companies won’t
like that solution because it uses more vertical real estate, but if it’s just
a light pole then it ought not be a problem.
If you do want something heavy duty that won’t break the bank then look at
the Site Pro version of the WM4:
https://www.sitepro1.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=1218
https://valmont-sitepro1-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/spec-sheet/HDWM04%20(Assembly).pdf
I don’t know the thickness of the steel stock, but the Channel Master one
weighs 1 pound and the Site Pro one weighs 6.8 pounds, so I’m sure it’s
sufficiently burly for most equipment.

Or the ChannelMaster 4" offset wall mounts, we call them W brackets.

Just use a Jpole? Or an MTOW?

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?
