Well that is pretty cool ... I always wondered if those old metal circular sleds we all had back in the day would work for a sat dish.

Some people have too much time on their hands, and i am glad for them, it provides entertainment for the rest of us.

I sold my 1.2m to a guy who was going to give it to his kids to use as a sled!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Hyper Casey]

I bet that kid had so much fun on that 1.2M Sled. And his friends probably think he got some super expensive exotic sled. Was the dish a Geosatpro or a Fortec or something? Probably his friends went home and told mom and dad they want a Geosatpro sled for Christmas lol

Geosat Pro!

No man. I'm serious. Ain't that cool?

Could be useful. Put it up on a temporary tripod to use. Take it down when the wind builds.

Wow! I thought you were joking. That is cool!

I had a good laugh when he mentions his cats had chewed on the end of the umbrella, as it reminded me of the time many years ago when I was assembling one of my dishes inside the house and one of my cats tried to run off with a bolt in his mouth!

 

[cyberham]

...run off with a bolt in his mouth!

Just helpin' the old man out.

Looks about as tickled at xmas as I would be. Huh!

 

[FTA4PA]

Yeah, I'd love to find one of those to play with.

Good for use with HOAs that bar dishes but not umbrellas.

I no longer use my 10' fabric dish. It was a fun project, but now is in storage.

Bring it to market!

Bring it to market!

Message me if interested in reflector only or with AZ/EL and controller PTZ unit. An odd size item to ship (reflector is approx.16"x16"x72" 35lbs). Easiest for local pick-up.
