[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 180999, member: 199791"] That's why I have put the dish on indoor service, just to see if it's reliable enough. As for the 2nd bracket plate, it's rectangular so can't be turned 90 degrees, but so far on my tripod it is holding well and that has a much smaller pole than the one I used in those pics (which in actual fact was the original 90 degree pole supplied with the dish!!!) which held well in a shakedown test (I.E. I held the pole and shook the whole dish!!! I think it would take a very strong earthquake to get the dish to shift by a signifigant amount!!! :D ). I have some pics of the dish in service with the new mount fitted on my tripod, I'll get them up as soon as I can... :D Had fun last night sawing, well, filing actually, the straight pole down to a decently short length, an Aluminium pole (which came with my Attisat FPA) versus a stainless steel penknife file made light work of it, took about 20 minutes though.... :D [/QUOTE]
