Agree. But how would that be flimsy?Think that actuator arm means the bit between the motor arm and the dish.
Squinting at the picture, it seems that the back end part of the middle Part of the Mount (where the actuator ball joint bracket would attach) is slightly bent. Wonder how that is done - it's Again as thick steel as the arm.Agree. But how would that be flimsy?
Both mine are 4 mm steel, and probably the thickest part of the whole mount!
The polar mount looks good. May not even need refurb'ing. Actuator may even still work (but I'd buy a new one anyway).Discovered one local second-hand stuff site kapaza.be

sameIs that commercial product
how do perform compared to 1.2 channel master
These should not be categorised as dishes, they are garden ornaments, their functionality as a satellite dish is dubious.
On practice it is almost impossible to prove. And, BTW, result also can be completely opposite. Size of both antennas is same, so, with proper LNB performance of system will also be samechannel master 1.2 only Rx got better gain than channel master 1.2 Tx / Rx with 0.3 dB
