Will this mount fit a Lava HD 8008 360 degrees HD antenna? Will it withstand bad weather like hard winds, snow ect.

I have a standard TV antenna on mine and it has handled all the weather SW Florida can throw at it. No problems with it over the past 5+ years! I get great free HD TV.

That should be no issue. That is approximately what I have if you include the mast and the antenna. I don't do a lot of movement from station to station. You may find that may be a hindrance to your needs. It has been though the winter and several strong storms and no problems yet.Hope this helps

This antenna is very sturdy. I believe that it should be able to hold an 18 lb antenna. Not sure what the windspeed would cause it to fail.

I bought the regular mirror mount and it does a great job holding antenna. Hope this helps you.

I agree. Look at the Firestiks or Wilson antennas if you want to thread mount it. I posted a pic of the antenna disconnected from the magnetic base if you decide to go this route.

Yes it will most definitely work. I have the same one but it's mounted on a roof with the same type of dish, I get all the sats, 110,119 and 128 which is ceil for HD channels. You shouldn't have any problems as long as you have a decent sat finder. Hope I was a help to you. Good luck with your install.

I have been using this LAVA antennas for the past 5 years - it is excellent - the only thing is you need to be using it with a digital converter box in order to get the high definition signals that the TV Stations are putting out. I use the converter box called "Zinwell". But I caution you to always shut off the converter box when not in use, otherwise the box will burn- out(die).

This antennae has worked very well for over the air transmissions. Our transmitters are within the 45 mi. range. With standard post mount, wind has not been an issue. There is a web site that will give transmitter locations for your area and antennae recommendations.

Yes, that is what I have but be prepaired as you will shortly break the antenna. The wind will grab it like a kite - that is when you will snap the antenna.

I use a FT-10R, FD-957D and a VX-8DR handheld, this works well with all of them... Very sturdy good for harsh weather but have not compared to any other antenna except to a Yaesu ATAS-120 (not an extreme weather antenna)...

Yes it will as long as the pole it is on will hold up. It's a big antenna so it does catch the wind. It is built very well and strong. We get hit with the Santa Ana winds here they had no effect on the antenna.

The mounting bracket that the antenna screws into needs to be GROUNDED..to the vehicle if not clamped to metal on the vehicle. Your answer is YES, you need a good ground on the bracket or mount that the antenna screws into! Hope this helps..Paul

I'm sorry I have not used this on rough terrain. The mount is really sturdy and the light fits securely into it, I would assume that it would work well. I have only used it on the road.

It should. I used a left over tubular mast from another satellite company (a Thai satellite broadcast). If not you can try slipping one over the other and drill through and add a nut & screw to secure.

I don't know of that mount but this one sucked. Not very good to any weather conditions. :/ I was disappointed.

If its on your roof use one like the one I ordered here HDTV Antenna Mount - 20in If you want it on a pole I would either put 1" metal outdoor conduit pole plumb in ground and either put a bag of sack crete around it or do what I seen someone do put it in a 5 gal bucket and pour sackcrete in around it.

No, in fact grounding the mast may attract lighting. I am very satisfied with my LAVA. It's out standing. I feel this antenna is too fragile for outdoor use. With an attic mount I get crystal clear reception for up to sixty miles.
