I bought a second Davis mounting tripod for my vacation home. Very easy to install. Place it where you want, drill six holes in the three adjustable feet and screw the bolts (included) into the roof. It comes with a self sealing pads to place under each foot. When the feet are screwed tight it forms a goo which seals the holes. I put some silicone caulk around each foot to be sure. The only downside is that its pricy but it is galvanized steel and as heavy duty as it can get. I guess it depends on how tall a pole you want to attach the weather station to. It comes with two three foot sections but the tripod can easily handle a 10 ft, pole.
Overall this tripod is not going anywhere in anything less than a tornado. A good choice to mount your expensive weather station!

Very Sturdy and Clever Design, especially for mounting on un-even surfaces like a foof.
Replaced a three point guide-wire mount that was ready to fail. Easy to set-up and level the Weather Station!

The center mast pole ships in two pieces and the straight forward assembly slips one piece of pipe over the other giving you a wiggling center mast.
Assembled and tamped down with a mallet, the mast wiggled 1/4 in all directions and I after working with it all I could the wiggling of the central mast was too far beyond unacceptable.
The crude remedies of wrapping the two sections of mast with a metal sleeve, bracing it with clamps, or crimping it until it snugged were also unacceptable. In the end, buying a 10' section of EMT at my local hardware store made this unit sturdy, strong and awesome. I cut the EMT to elevate my sensors 7' off the roof surface and VIOLA...
Wiggling mast pole is unacceptable - replace the pole

When I opened the box, at first glance, I thought this tripod was spectacular and worthy of my Davis Vantage 2 Pro wind vane and anemometer. It's sturdy and rugged looking, has stainless steel hardware and a nifty "J" bracket which prevents the center mast from slipping downward. It all looked good in the box until I got to the center mast where all my disappointment rests.Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2017
