I ordered this and recieved it last week. It did not include any instructions or more importantly hardware for mounting it on the roof. If we keep it we have to also go to the hardware store to buy nuts and bolts. It would have been nice if these came with this as we're afraid to just go drilling holes in the roof and causing leaks.
 Perfect for apartment dwellers! April 13, 2010

I have DirecTV service in Colorado. I live in a 4th floor apt. and about 2 weeks after I had a dish installed on my balcony, I got a nasty letter from our HOA that I had to remove it or else!
I did a little research and found this tripod for a great deal! Got it home, unhooked my dish from the railing on my balcony and placed into the mount. The adjustable screws helped to tighten the grip and there's no additional effort needed. The fit is perfect, the reception didn't really change (just a swivel to the left or right) and now my HOA is off my back. Thank you Amazon and Winegard!!!
Works best over peak February 17, 2010

This would be better if one leg was adjustable so you could mount it on slopes, but as long as you center it over the peak, it works fine.
Note that there's only one way it will fit or else the pivot pads on the bottom won't line up right. This is not mentioned in the instructions.
Instead of buying the official mast with expensive shipping, simply go to your home supply store and get a length of 1-1/4" electrical conduit (EMT), it's the same gauge (16) as the better masts and 10 feet is only about $8.
Good Quality Antenna Support December 12, 2009

This is a well made mast support for the price. For a home made DB8 style Antennas Direct DB8 Multidirectional HDTV Antennalong range HD antenna I installed it straddling the ridge of a 20x24 foot outbuilding. It took some fiddling to get the mast plumb; the geometry of the tripod and the roof ridge (I think the roof is 6/12 pitch) made visualizing this installation a bit confusing but once I got it up there and moved it around it was fine. The tripod feet swivel to adapt to the roof pitch and screwing them down made an even tighter fit.
The one difficulty in putting one of these up is the necessity of screwing it into at least two rafters in order for it to be sturdy. Most roof sheathing probably won't provide enough of a bite for the screws (which aren't included---I think I used 2.5"x5/16" lag screws) and would make for a dangerous setup. As it turned out I wasn't able to get the position on the roof I needed (for HD reception) where there were rafters underneath, so I had to put up some 2x4 braces between the rafters inside the building. If you're working in an attic this probably won't be too hard to do and it provides a very strong support. You also need to use "pitch pads" or something else that provides a seal between the tripod's feet, the screws, and the roof shingles. Once it was lag screwed into the braces it was rock solid.
Lastly, getting some help to put this up is a good idea. I did it myself but since I needed to get at the roof from both on top and underneath I had to go up and down the ladder far too many times.
