Looks like I get to kick off this sub-forum with its first post!

The OEM mount is a long and gangly pole, too wobbly for me (And lets be honest, I just didn't like the look of it)! There are to many posts on facebook of folks adding guy wires to keep the wobble down. Any wobble at all will offset your yarbo core by the same amount; its supposed to be static! Not sure about y'all, but I also ordered in the string trimmer and edger. As far as I can tell, those things will need VERY accurate signaling, less yarbo gets better with telemetry from their cameras. SO, I've made this stubby mount which takes out ALL the play.

This mount is intended to mount to the soffit fascia at the roof peak with some countersunk kregg screws, nice and secure with zero wobble, but also less clearance than the OEM mount. By mounting it so close like this, you are cutting down on the amount of free space and clearance around the datacenter so this MAY impact your reception. That being said, its a heck of a lot cleaner (IMO).

STL/3MF files are on Printables, as is the `f3d` file, for those that want to tweak it (and see my poor cad practices).
