Gib 1.25

[vrlika]

which is the best motor to drive this dish. i do have darkmotor metal gears on a 14" t&k bracket but i am not convinced that its going to be sturdy enough in windy conditions. trouble is i have only fitted diseqc motors and no any other kind.
so what do you recommend ?
thanx

I know someone who has one mounted on a Stab motor, but it is far too big and heavy for it, best to buy the polar mount for it and an actuator, you will of course need to use a V-Box to interface with your receiver.

Actuator,V-Box all that is a unknown teritory for me . The bracket that came with the dish is az/el bracket. Does this fit a actuator ?Not sure what size actuator I would need ? Sorry total newby to all this terms.

No, you need a polarmount, do a search for Gilbertini polarmount, you would need an 18 or 24" jack/actuator.

The V-box converts DiSEqC 1.2 commands to 36V motor controls.

thanx for that guys will look into it.

it will fit the jaeger 1224 motor with adapter plates or the gibertini polar mount with 18 or 24inch actuator

a picture of the gibby polar mount for the 1.2m dish below and the adapter plates for the 1224 motor
