I purchased a tripod style off a ebay site. It has a cup at the bottom of the area that you tighten the shaft into. It also came with the pipe to mount your dish to. Better and cheaper than the one at radio shack. I drilled the feet holes at the bottom of the legs a little larger so I could drive a 20" piece of cement rerod into each hole. On the top of each rod I welded a nut so I have grip when I pull them out of the ground. I carry a claw hammer for this purpose. I have my name and phone no. painted on the dish. Those long rerod come in handy during the winter down in the Rio Grand Valley of Texas when the wind blows.
