Finally made time to get my 120cn and 55cm mounted up a bit higher. Council trees have been growing

Looks nice, you only need the 90cm Fibo now to complete the collection.

crossbones · 13-10-07, 01:11 PM

Very nice!

Like the way you have mounted the 55cm without the need for any U bolts.

The Fibo 55cm model performs as good as my old Triax 88cm i have here.

Magic antennas.

Great looking kit and installation. I like the look of the 120 mount - are the two upper support legs adjustable for length? They look like they're rose-jointed!

Now that would be cool...

That 55cm looks like its been up a few years

crossbones · 14-10-07, 12:43 PM

That mount is an old channel master one. It also turns into a ground mount. The arms are not adjustable.

John has painted his fibos, making them look older

I like the waveguides he has added, for easy access to the lnb`s, but i`m not brave enough to cut a hole in my 1.2m

Not an actual 'Rose' joint, but swivels in two planes, there is about 50mm of usable adjustment on the arms. 8)

It's a new old stock one that I picked up a while ago, modded with a disecQ and painted with a mixture of Hammerites to try and blend with the brickwork a little. Been up about a month

OK, that's very good! I thought it looked adjustable. I bet that makes getting the pole vertical a piece of cake.

Are all the channel master mounts like this, or is it a mod you've made?
