[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1109933, member: 176704"] As above - as it is now, that dish will fall over in any sort of "wind" as the tripod legs are too short (and likely to bend /distort), and it will be very difficult to accurately align anyway because the whole setup will "rock" very easily as you try to do that. Edited: picture below shows my 1.25m Gibertini at the seller's house before I bought it: the NPGM is a rectangular unit (in 3 separate sections, bolted together) and was weighed down with 4x concrete slabs. It was also located in a very sheltered spot behind the house and between two closely adjacent fences - so not likely to get blown over.
