[QUOTE="robbieb43, post: 395475, member: 177908"] Hi Chib No I never did speak to Triax - maybe I should have but it was pretty plain to see (bit of an engineering type that I amO-zzz) that the design would have a limiitation - see pic. It would be better if the arm on the front part of the mount was on the dish mount as in my LH. As you can see either way you mount it, it will snag either east or west. The plus side is that it was not too expensive - less than 50 quid. It will be even chepaer for someone else when I put it on fleabay. Compare this with the LH set up - you can see from the pic how far the LH can move round - look at the difference in construction also. The flimsy arm and plastic bushes on the Triax versus the "Brooklyn Bridge" approcah on the LH. (Just for clarity Pic one is Triax, Pic 2 & 3 are LH Polar mount and Dish mount - with dish still attached :-DOH2) Rob [/QUOTE]
