CAMOS Crank Up
Satellite Systems | Camos Crank Up

This new satellite system from CAMOS represents a real breakthrough. Instead of a conventional dish, the Flat-Sat uses a planar antenna to catch a satellite’s beam. This is a very efficient method and enables the "dish" to be much smaller, taking up less room on a vehicle’s roof and making it easier both to install and use. The antenna measures 40cm across but has a performance similar to a dish of 50cm diameter.

When it’s in the parked position, the unit’s height is just 12cm.

The universal fit has an extended shaft to fit different roof thicknesses; the shaft is easily shortened as needed.

As well as being small in size, this Camos system has the additional advantage of being light in weight. At just 5.5Kgs, it’s almost half the weight of other crank-up systems.

The antenna’s design makes it much more resistant to wind than a normal dish, allowing it to be used in conditions where other systems would have to be lowered for safety.

This dish is a lot more tolerant in terms of adjustment than most conventional dishes. Although, obviously, they need to be pointed at the satellite, the angle of adjustment is less critical. After a bit of practise, setting the system up should take a minute.

The dish is controlled from inside the vehicle using a ceiling-mounted cranking handle.
