Re: Trailer based weather station
I don't have a photo, but I have this Plattinum Products mount set. One piece to hold the weather sensor unit inside the trailer during transport, and a tube to securely support the bottom of the pole outside the trailer:

Re: Trailer based weather station
I found a photo that isn't very detailed but should at least illustrate what I posted above:

Re: Trailer based weather station
Thanks for the replies.
Pete, I have 4 of those clamps enroute. I believe they are also the same ones that Altronics sells. I also have these brackets coming that Computech uses and I'm using the same pole... That Platinum Products bracket is trick for transporting the weather station head inside the trailer... Also found this pole mount which would work too... https://www.shop.flagpolebuddy.com/S...Dia-106961.htm available in 1", 1.5" and 2" Last edited by 1320racer; 08-14-2018 at 08:42 AM. |

Re: Trailer based weather station
I use the rubber ones from Altronics. 2 on the exterior and 2 inside for storage. Easy to use and won’t rust. I store my trailer inside. If you store yours outside in the elements then the rubber ones might break down after a few seasons.

Re: Trailer based weather station
I have to say this thread has made me get off my butt and finally make a mounting pole for my wind meter. Now mine is just a $50 weather station from TSC cause I’m a poor boy but, as long as it gives me wind speed I’m happy.

Re: Trailer based weather station
I ended up using the brackets that Computech uses/sells, shown in the video below.
Thanks again for the replies. |
