Yesterday I stuck a new Vantage Vue atop the roof of my other house. I used the typical tripod for the mounting.
I had to try numerous ways of placing and rotating the 3 legs to get the most natively level position.
Of course, none of the 3 foot pads would sit perfectly flush against the roof. But I put the tar pads under them and drilled them in. They seem secure enough. I put heavy silicon all around the bases of the pads, worried about leaks. I thought about putting it over the tops of the actual screws, but then I considered, how would I ever get them back off if/when I need to?? Oh well.
I thought it would be easy to adjust the support pole to nicely vertical, but it wasn't. 3 bolts low and 3 bolts high, each with 2 nuts on it. I fiddled and fiddled with it, but it was not easy to fine tune, as I thought it would be.
Can anyone share any advice?
