[QUOTE="s-band, post: 1015856, member: 407744"] The wooden frame was only to allow me to mount the CM1.2 and the Prodelin Ka 1.2. I have been thinking that I may make a metal frame to support the Prodelin as I want to play with Ka a bit more. It's also less noticeable than the 1.8 and, as everyone knows, dishes grow over time. I bought a few weights and some adjustment of distance from axis is possible, see pics. Correct, I've been using the mount for Ka as well which has shown up a few problems e.g. a sloppy centre fixing. Thanks. It might be better to do as you have shown but it is not as convenient as fixing to the dish mounting points. A PF is much closer to being inherently balanced and easier to counterbalance due to its geometry. I see advantages to offset but still prefer PF. Thanks. These problems have come from modifying an existing mount. I think I will be able to arrange it so that I can move the support arms to vary the C of G a little. Below are pics of the component parts laid out roughly as I will have them. [ATTACH]107103[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]107104[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
