Hello everyone. I ordered a Stratus RG-202 and was wondering about mounting it. I have not received it yet but I was thinking. A friend of mine had a rain gauge that pivoted at the top and at the time I thought that was the way to go. I have no real experience in this (hobby for me) but I realize that I might be making a big deal out of nothing but having the cylinder pivot with the wind so the opening of the cylinder is perpendicular to the rain would increase it's accuracy? I realize the weight of the water in the cylinder changes the dynamics or I should say the variables of doing something like this. If so, I have not thought of a way to mount it so it would pivot 360 degrees. Where we live our winds prevail north and south so I could mount it so that it pivoted in that direction. I've been to CoCoRahs website and I didn't really find much on the issue except for the post taper, rain shadow etc. Am I making a big deal out of nothing? There has been quite a discussion on wind screens but I would put a Davis Rain Bucket in it primarily and use the Stratus as a comparison tool. If anyone has an opinion, please I would like to hear from you.
Thank You
