Multi-axial mast positioning system

A tiltable telescoping support structure positioning system comprising:

• a frame having first and second opposed support sections;
• a telescoping support structure disposed between the first and second opposed support sections, the telescoping support structure having a plurality of telescoping sections extendable from a base section along a longitudinal axis thereof, the base section of the telescoping support structure coupled to the first and second opposed support sections and tiltable along a first tilt path towards either of the first and second opposed support sections of the frame by application of force at an intermediate position along its length by a first electric or hydraulic actuator having a high backward holding torque capability;
• the base section of the telescoping support structure tiltable along a second tilt path aligned perpendicular to the first tilt path between the first and second opposed support sections of the frame by application of force at the intermediate position along its length by a second electric or hydraulic actuator having a high backward holding torque capability.
