This antenna mast is a much different animal than the one that came packaged with the antenna itself. All around heavier gauge tubing and mounting plate. I ordered it because I need the 40 inch length afforded by this version in order to clear my roofline. One thing for antennas direct to consider is offering the customer their choice of mast when they place their initial order (I believe there are three lengths, which include the original). Even if a person had to pay a little more for an upgrade, they'd be better off since they would have the right unit from the beginning, and would avoid the waste of a separate, unusable mast rattling around in the garage or going in the trash.

Great roof mount for OTA antenna. I thought be easier to mount the base to the roof first. Otherwise it would be hard for one person to mark, drill holes, screw base to the roof with the J-pole still attached. But then its a bit tricky to get the J-pole bolts adj bolts in place due to having to insert them from the inside of the J-pole. Aa better design might be to weld the nuts on the inside of the tube so one could easily insert the bolts from the outside.

Well made accessory for mounting the good size antenna I was using it for. We had a severe thunderstorm roll through here a while back with very violent winds and this thing held up pretty good. I did have to go up and re-tighten a couple of nuts but that's it.....

The mount was easy to install although the directions were not too clear. I tried several different approaches until I was satisfied with the correct method to mount it. To my surprise the anchor bolts were included and self-tapping. It was not clear on where to place a grounding strap. I improvised.

I wish the antennas direct people would have given me an option for mounting to my HIP style roof. It wasn't until I got up there I realized one panel facing north is pointing upwards and the south facing antenna panel is facing downwards. Not optimum for reception. Make sure if you have a slanting roof to shim one side or something to get the antenna facing straight instead of too much up or down. I used the DB8e antenna to get Milwaukee & Chicago. Before this, I was using a Mohu Leaf inside my living room and getting channels I can no longer receive with the DB8e.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I did a lot of research and received many recommendations before purchasing my antenna. It was a great purchase. It took about 30-45 min to assemble. My only challenge was hanging it by myself on the house.
Great reception on multiple tv’s.
