Help/advice on where to get a Pole Mount

Hi,

I know this is a bit silly but I kind of need your help/expertise.

I have a motorized setup which I plan to redo it when ever the whether is good (hopefully next weekend) at the moment I have 18 T&K but the pole that I bought with is only 60 cm or less than 2 feet long as you can see from my avatar pic (apparently, they couldn't post longer pole coz of postal regulations), my question is, where would someone normally go to get at least 6 feet long scaffold/aluminum pole apart from the usual places ie 3ebay? btw I have already been to my local recycle center & scrapyard with no luck.

Since I am re-doing my motor setup, my plan is to have at least 6 feet long scaffold/pole so that I have enough room to attach sly mini dish fixed on 28.2e for the upcoming VU+ duo:36_002:.

Thanx

Thanx mate, if you dont mind me asking, what length were you after and how much did they charge? just so that I have rough idea....

I was wanting a 4.5" wide steel galvanised pipe that was 3ft in length and they charged £70 cash

ouch!! £70 for 3 feet??? I wanted 6 feet but I guess I will have to be content with 4 feet, Thanks matey.

Why fix what isn't broken ¬
just install the mini dish separately ? saves you £70 to start with - route 1 to a vu duo 2 !!!

Just a thought .

Lol, who said it wasnt broken? The motor isnt tracking the arc properly, It came down and up twice already......to make long story short, I had to get rid of the arm/elbow mount and get T&K and a meter...........at first I only had few sats on east and none on west, now I have some eat and some west but I want have it perfect so that it tracks the arc properly 45e to 30 west..........I have been at it (on and off) for 2 months now lol so now I am in a stage where I am planning ahead.

Patience/persistence is the name of the game right?

As long as your pole is plumb and you have set the motors elevation you should be pretty close !
Discard my last comment i can see from your avatar its not a triax ¬

:rikjaard1:

Pole is plumb motor/box latitude set correctly, read 100s of tutorials read so I kind of learned quite a lot. I know I am really close :57: but the whether hasn't been kind to me lately so I haven't touched it.
