I built a mast for my truck canopy a while back. Clamp a Bogen super
clamp on one of the roof bars (they are solidly bolted to the top of the
canopy), then I built a pole mast with light stand like couplings I
machined. That plugs into the clamp's socket. A piece of stainless
tubing for the mast, aluminum fittings epoxy glued in the ends. That
mast get's me a little over 12' plus whatever height the mic gives. I
could build a taller one, it's height was determined by the length of
tubing I just happened to have. I'm pretty sure the mast could take full
highway speeds, though maybe not with a telinga at the top, but I don't
drive around with it up.
