My hex hex beam, 6 band hex beam, hence hex hex, weighs 25 lbs and is
nearly symmetrical with respect to torque due to imbalanced windage. A
decently heavy duty TV rotor will git 'er done. If you live where you
may get ice on antennas then be sure to get the "extra" ice
reinforcements. See K4KIO style hex beam.

I remember Lew McCoy writing an article in QST 40 years ago saying

The best bet is to get one of the Hex beams on that tri-pod. You can
get the regular 10, 15, and 20 if you are mostly a contester or add
WARC bands plus 6 if you are a DXer. Most of the hex beams are light
and can be rotated with a small Ham M type rotor or HD TV type.
