IMHO, a (properly installed) tripod is much sturdier than a regular J-pipe style mount, due to the wider footprint on the roof. If a tripod blows off in a windstorm, a piece of the roof probably blew away still attached to it (and went to Oz).

Does anyone have a no roof drilling policy? Or am I just being too careful?
