[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1114373, member: 176704"] That's about the going price for this sort of device ATM, of which there are many on Amazon (& eBay etc.) - though it may pay to read the reviews [I](especially the 1 & 2 star ones!)[/I] before chosing a particular one! OTOH, a decent shortish spirit level with a magnetic base can also be used - it may or may not be as "accurate"! Even better would be to have[B][U] 2[/U][/B] such devices and set them at 90 degrees to each other on the pole - that way it should be possible to check how vertical (or not!) the pole is without moving the device by 90 degrees each time you adjust something. Edited: If possible, set the pole "vertical" [I]without[/I] the motor/dish on it - and, if using T&K brackets, fit the K bracket first and quite loosely using only the top fixings, fit the pole, set it "vertical" and then fit the T bracket to keep it in that position, and finally, re-check the "verticality and then fit the lower fixing on the K bracket and tighten all the fixings. Only, after all that, mount the motor & dish on the pole. [/QUOTE]
