tripod for 5lnb dish

JosephB said:

It looks like I'm going to be moving into an apartment soon and will need a tripod to have a dish on my patio/balcony. I want to get the latest greatest dish from directv to get all the HD, so what tripod do I need? Am I right that it needs a different diameter pole?

You could have also used a standard heavy duty tripod from Radio Shack for $35 and a chain link fence line post for about $6.

A standard Phase III DirecTV 1-5/8" pole non-penetrating roof mount can also be used.

This adapter on eBay would make it work.
