That price is a little crazy though. You could just maybe buy that
steel and weld that and galvanize it yourself for $78. Maybe they use
slave labor.

But you're right. It depends on who/what you're getting. Problem is
that you never really know unless you've dealt with whomever.

Do you know this, or are you speculating? My information was that
Connect-It fabricated all their stuff in Florida including the
galvanizing. That’s one reason I liked buying from them. That and
their workmanship (welding and galvanizing) seemed better than
Andrew/Commscope.
Sitepro1/Valmont does import parts from China, which they do not
hide, it is stamped right into them. I am sad to report however that
the quality seems quite good.
Remember that virtually all brand name tools are made in China, not
just Harbor Freight. They can make junk and they can make good stuff.

How much standoff do you need? I have used Andrew S200 like
George says (2 ft standoff) or S300 (3 ft), actually they go up
to 6 ft standoff. Or Connect-It Wireless S2-S6. Can be used on
vertical or sloping tower legs. Sitepro1 also has several
solutions, some of which are YUGE!

I had looked at those, I just didn't know if it had enough
standoff for use with an omni - from a shadowing perspective.

Anyone have suggestions for a standoff mount for use with a
5GHz omni? It will be mounted to the side of a Pirod tower,
so I'm going to need some sort of standoff to minimize
shadowing.
