So my Tempest is here, and is sitting on a small tripod in my garden, but I’d ideally like to mount it on a pole or aerial mount on the eaves of the house. I’m struggling to find a suitable pole solution in the UK. Aerial mounting brackets all seem to come with a 1" external diameter pole (and I’v…

I too could not find the right diameter pole in the UK, however I did find various sizes from a company in Poland, I ordered 30mm and it fits my Tempest perfectly, they have other sizes as well.
