I just got a pathfinder x2 satelliteWhat tripod do you use. I was looking at the Tripod Mount TR-1518. It looks a little expensive for what it is and not even a bubble level. Are there any alternatives, has anybody put a bubble level on there's. I was kinda thinking of putting it on a small table that I carry in the camper. What does the rest here do. I posted this in tech, if this is the wrong forum please deleteThanks in advance.

I got the round one with 3 legs. Don't have it available right now so don't have the number. Works good I use 2 each stakes into the ground on either side to tie it down.

yea that's the one that i am talking about, how do you like it. Is it worth the money? TIA

I have the TR1518 and it works great. I never use a level, just eyeball it and let the pathway do it's job. The legs of the pathway lock into the stand and the legs spread wide enough that it's very sturdy. I did use one of my fire logs and wrapped a bunjee cord around and attached to the underside of the stand and it held very good with up to 40 and 50mph gusts. I was a bit nervous but worked well. I pondered over the cost myself but after having a while I wouldn't go any other way.

We have the TR-1518 also. It works great. No need for a level. I just screw the stake in the ground and connect the bungee. No need for anything more. I think it's well worth the money and should last longer than the Antenna.

I also use that tripod. Many times I have to set up the dish on unlevel ground, so I bought a small cheap bubble level at Walmart. After eyeballing the levelness (is that a word?) of the tripod with the X2 on it, I set the cheap level on the face of the dish when it is in the stow configuration to see how accurate I was, then adjust the legs accordingly.

Yep pricey and all issues mentioned occur but it works and is very sturdy and stable making it worth the money.

I don't have a problem with it. After the first time the pins are put in then it goes together great. The push pins are no problem either. When they both are put together and set up it is a nice. Off of the ground especially if it rains hard, it is off the ground. We like it.

Some of us old arthritic folks find it very hard to push those pins in.

You will see someday.

Did not mean anything by what I said. I will be 71 in 2 months and I don't have a problem with the push pins.

I don’t have anything near that fancy. I took the cart that used to carry my bbq grill. I just screwed a piece of 3/4 plywood to it and painted it black. I don’t even have a level. Sometimes I just put my tailgater on the ground or picnic table and get it kinda level and pointed somewhat south. Works great! One of the best things about it to me is not having to be so perfect in the setup. The dish does all that.
