I've used them a few times, even worked with the updated version when it was still a prototype. Good stuff.

It says "Heavy guage galvanized steel", doesn't appear powder coated.

Where I saw a hole in the market was in a hinged mount that could accept variable mast sizes without costing too much. There are cheap ones for $70 that only accept a satellite dish mount. There are $600 ones from Rohn et al that accept different mast diameters. The cheap ones are no good for me, and the other ones are offensively expensive. I was unaware of the Baltic Networks / Maxxwave model before I read this thread, and that looks to come in around $150. I have to put a 2' Trango dish on a hinged mount in the near future, and I'll probably end up getting that Maxxwave model if I can confirm that it will accept a mast > 2" OD. I wish it was HDG instead of powder coated, but beggars can't be choosers. I also question that slider thing for adjusting the angle of the mast, but I can always put more bolts in it if it doesn't seem solid. Honestly, now that I've seen the Maxxwave one, I'm not sure what new thing you can bring to bear. <blockquote> Yeah, that is always a problem. The more assembly you do during fabrication, the more it costs to ship, the larger the packing crate is, the more expensive packing is etc etc. From: Lewis Bergman Sent: Saturday, January 9, 2016 2:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Non penetrating mounts Anything you can do to speed assembly but still take up less space. I never liked how long they took to put together. On Sat, Jan 9, 2016, 12:05 PM Chuck McCown < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> I get constantly asked to do a non penetrating mount. I have always resisted because there are a ton of them out there already. But I get almost daily searches for this term on my website. It appears folks presume I have one. If I did one, I would like to have some feature or quality that differentiates it from the rest. Perhaps a unit that can be locked or hinged for flat or peak mounts. Maybe one with hinged legs that give it a wider footprint using greater leverage so you don’t need as many concrete blocks. I dunno, any ideas? </blockquote> </blockquote>
