Please don't leave an X2 on your roof unattended. It WILL blow over and roll off the roof if the winds get into the 35+ range. It would only take one good gust and....there you go....
You could mount it to the roof with some screws and washers through the 4 tent stake hole plus maybe 4 more screwed through the same base.
Thanks for the information Bill. So there is holes through the base that were designed for tent stakes. Good info. I see something in the picture but can't really tell. If I manufactured a flat plate, that had 4 studs sticking up, maybe i could set the dish on this plate and the 4 studs could pass through the tent stake holes, and maybe a wing nut on the other side? Or maybe design in a "J" hook, where the bent end goes up and captures this stake hole. Or maybe even bungy cords under this flat plate that hook into the tent stakes holes.
Is there anything that attaches the dish to the tripod?
Next step is to try to see one in person.
GopackGo, roger on the chain. I guess it goes through that square looking handle on the coax end? Is there any substance to that area? I wonder if these will start to show up in pawn shows with that handle cut off, like the Honda Generators :(.
