That's wood. For 50' and light loads, I'd stick with wood.
Steel and fiberglass are both more expensive than wood, but they start
to look attractive when you look at the transport and erection costs of
poles > 50'
Steel and fiberglass also can be purchased in larger diameters and wall
thicknesses....you're only going to find wooden poles so big.
Certain people here have a prejudice against steel because if a car
bumps it and dents it, then it's permanently weakened. Fiberglass in
theory will bounce a little. I think they all get wiped out if the car
is going fast enough.

Is that a standard wood pole, or metal/fiberglass?

Yeah, I was gonna say. 50 foot poles are practically free compared
to transport and installation.
Just find a utility contractor who does poles. I can get a 50'
pole 100% installed for around $1500.

New ones are not terribly expensive if you find the right
supplier. Shipping/moving them can be tricky.
