DPW Easy Feet are cost effective and work well, but plan well cut the stickem
layer gives you only one chance. Turn an L foot upside down, fasten it to the
easy foot and use a mini on the L.

Chris,
You might consider the DPW EasyFeet. They mount to comp shingles with five
course thread torques screws. Kind of a wide L foot.

You can come off of that with a piece of DPW P6 aluminum channel or square
aluminum rail and then mount stainless steel mini for conduit supported at any
height you wish. Lead time on the easy feat is sometimes long.

In a hurricane region, we can't use glued supports.
Caddy supports are for flat roofs. These are 30 degree roofs.
I think I am going to use unistrut with two holes bored in it, washered screws
and sealant, and a HDG conduit clamp.
