Winegard DS3000A Universal 42-inch Mount for Off-Air TV Antennas

I used this to mount my starlink version 2 dish off the side of my house and it worked pretty well. It's almost perfect. The original dish mount has a key in the bore that registers on the bottom of the cable connector. It makes the cable almost impossible to become disconnected once the dish is mounted. The Winegard doesn't have this provision and I missed it when I was checking the fit. It would have been fairly easy to mount a tab in the bore of the Winegard mount but I just didn't see it. Consequently I had to remove the dish several times and re-seat the connector as it kept falling out. The last time I wrapped the connector and the cable with electrical tape and it is holding fine for now. If I have to revisit the mount I will add a more permanent solution. No fault of Winegards. The mount is well made and is still a great way to mount the dish.

Bought this to mount my over the air antenna. Right away i could tell this mount was made with good materials and had a nice hefty weight and feel to it was very pleased. Assembly was pretty straight forward and mounting it too. Had out side for a while and its doing its job can't complain a good buy.

This worked well as the primary unit to mount a rectangle dishy to my metal roof , along with some other components. The inner diameter of this tube is close to the dishy's mount pole's diameter . I wrapped duct tape around the bottom of the dishy's pole two layers thick and it fit nice and snug. One thing that I was disappointed with was the dishy's connector will not fit through the mounting pole . The size and shape of the connector will not allow it. SL's design is unique and fits the router perfectly , but it makes routing it a pain.

Installing a home weather station, I wanted a bracket to hold it on the wood-wrapped chimney. The bracket is not the shape as shown, but it works great. It's almost like the pipe is upside down. The bend is near the anchor, not up high. But like I said, it works!

Great quality and looks great!

The mount fits my needs. the 42 in was able to get around the obsticles I needed it to. The included hardware to lock it in place is solid - I had to get the lag bolts myself, but that's not a problem. Over all - I have no fear of this thing dropping my device.

With the plastic adaptor I also bought on Amazon my rectangular Starlink antenna snapped right in and had plenty of clearance to auto-find the best satellite to connect to. I had already verified where the antenna was going to auto-position itself, so I didn't need a 100% clear view of the sky. I opted for a strong mounting point (we often have really high winds here) over a weaker mount point that had a full view of the sky. Whether you buy the plastic insert or not, you'll have to secure the antenna from spinning in the antenna mount tube. 2 or 3 self tapping sheet metal screws should easily do that job for you.

Needed a way to mount our StarLink dish to a wall and get over the edge of our roof for an unobstructed view of the sky and this worked PERFECTLY. Went right into the brick with a few tapcons and it doesn't budge.We did also need the StarLink pole adapter but it's all sturdy.Another reviewer mentioned something about it not being 100% painted?The one I received did not have that problem. Coverage was good so I'm not expecting much rust.Note: As per the depiction, you can, in fact, reverse the pole, as I did, to get around wider overhangs.I'm happy with it.

Very good and strong mount for antennas.I installed my Antenna Direct DB8-E antenna, that you can also buy here on Amazon.ca, on this mount.It is built very strong, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Some have claimed that this mount does not provide a tight fit for a rectangular starlink unit. That is true if what one expects is that the mount provides the same insertion fit and 'button' locking you get from a standard starlink mount. It does not do that. But the internal diameter of the mount is 1.52" and the starlink's shaft's largest diameter (beyond the reduced-diameter starlink-specific mount area) is 1.5". Wrapping some electrician's tape around the 1.5"" diameter area of the starlink unit might be enough to get a tight fit. But better, I think, is using a 1.25" flexible pipe connector (1.25", not 1.5", because the outside diameter of 1.25" internal diameter pipe (metal, ABS, etc.) is approximately 1.5") provides a waterproof and more stable solution. Put the pipe connector on the mount shaft, leaving about an inch of rubber (actually black flexible PVC) for the starlink shaft and push the shaft into the mount about 2", thereby placing about an inch of the 1.5" shaft in the mount. You could even wrap tape around the shaft too. Tighten both clamps. Be sure, of course, to put the starlink cable through the bottom of the mount and insert it in the starlink unit before inserting the unit into the connector that is placed on the mount.I can't guarantee that this solution provides as much stability as a starlink mount; among other things, placing the starlink unit on a 22" shaft rather than locking it into a starlink mount that does not add length to the shaft of the unit unavoidably allows more movement. But of course, adding more height to the starlink unit can be advantageous too.

Expensive, but does a great job holding our weather station up off of the top of the roof of our house. Would buy it again if needed

Easy to mount and alter if needed.

Is as described and works perfectly
