I don't have mine on a tripod, but I have had to place a few new connect and trouble-call customers on one.
Here's an example: the customer in question had NO line of site using a traditional mast. Sooo...I had to use a 6 foot piece of pipe (fence post) and a tripod. Granted, it may scream "git 'r' dun", but it was the only way this person was going to get a signal.
