Winegard Carryout, Any different mounting ideas?

Thanks for the inputs. I have seen the "mast" idea I believe. I'm thinking about a less expensive camera tripod. As others have said, might be embarrassed to spend $$ on a tripod.

We have a Carryout and I am looking to the inventive/modder members of the forum. Has anyone come up with an alternative to the ladder mount? I have tried the "spare table" idea but would like to mount it higher, maybe.

Higher than what? Someone posted a picture where they mounted the Carryout on a pole and could raise or lower the antenna as necessary. The poster uses a name related to the RV so if you search Casita you might be able to find the picture and information about the setup.

I use the tri-pod. Sometimes I have had to set the unit on a picnic table, couple of times on top of the rig and once on the roof of my toad.

I use the tri pod. No problems so far

Ours is on a tripod and I have always found that to work well. If we had ours on the ladder where we are right now it would not get reception due to trees blocking the view.

I've had mine everywhere but the ladder mount which I don't have. I have tied it onto the roof. Both front and back. Did the table thing. Anything to find that signal. I mostly use the tripod.
