Crank Up Twin LNB Plus
This
new satellite system from CAMOS represents a real breakthrough.
Instead of a conventional dish, the it 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 56.5cm across but
has a performance similar to a dish of 65cm diameter. And,
when it’s in the parked position, the unit’s
height is just 12cm.
As well as being small in size,
this Camos system has the additional advantage of being
light in weight. At just 6.5 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. Having a twin LNB enables
the functionality of Sky+ or other similar satellite receivers
so that two channels can be watched at the same time.
As with the Crystop automatic
versions, 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.
We recommend this unit if you
are travelling to Spain, Germany, Italy or Eastern Europe.
