Crank Up Twin LNB
This
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 (or
boat’s) roof and making it easier both to install
and use. In the case of this model, the antenna measures
40cm across but has a performance similar to a dish of 50cm
diameter. And, when it’s in the parked position, the
unit’s height is just 12cm.

SATELLITE DISH
As
well as being small in size, this Camos system has the additional
advantage of being light in weight. At just 5.5 Kgs, 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.
As
with the Alden automatic version, 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 under a minute.
The
dish is controlled from inside the vehicle using a ceiling-mounted
cranking handle.
