Heavy duty polar mount for Primesat 1.8m dish C/M modifiation

Good luck sourcing a Jaeger 1224... SSS have them for £300 but that's a little too much. Though cheaper than a full blown mount.

If that's the case CJ, I will stick with actuators.

Could you point me to some pictures of you dish please nelson, yes there is plenty of options to play with it I guess, It will have to be all singing and dancing C band dual axis and a tracking system when I get the funds

there will be some pictures dotted around on this site somewhere . i will try and find where thy are -- failing that i have some pics on my p.c. of various stages of development.

I bought mine from eBay for £130.. which included a 90cm prime focus dish and mounting brackets with a 3" pole. But it was still expensive. Don't regret it though - it's a quality bit of kit

I think the pole for the 1.8 is over 4inch, after seeing the dish I would never consider putting it on a 1.2 mount

The sat superstore mount can be made in a 3 inch mount I believe to make it easier to instal as 3 inch pole is still pretty beefy, if you get a 5mm walled galvanised.

How do you get away with all the dishes, isn't your other half going mad ?

The jaeger smr 1224 motor is well built but I think a cm 1.8 will be too heavy for it.

There's another company you could get a mount from, well get a price apexsat.

My Gibby 1.25 is on a 3m 3" 5mm thick Galvanised and i would never mount a 1.8m on it, as suggested the Norm appears to be the 4" mount for the 1.8 especially with this weather we have been having LOL

Hi Huevos, google PRI18MW and chose the first link.

Looks like a Famaval polar mount for a 1.8m dish. Pole size is 80mm.

Thanks Wod, whatever it needs it will have I am not going to fit anything that is un safe and not up for the job, I will check apexsat out thank you,

My wife has no problems with my dishes we have been together nearly 30 years now and don't bicker to much and she does get some viewing from my hobby from time to time she loves sport more than me. I will stick with actuators then wod thanks again.

Thanks digi, now I have seen the dish it will have to be mounted on what it takes to keep it there you would not want that flying around.

I've worked on a 1.2 CM mount adapted for a 1.8m and it is not stable enough, unless in a very sheltered position.
