Does the job well. No instructions, but not complicated.
Very sturdy, but no instructions so you have to just figure it out. Glad I found this one. A bit less expensive than others.

It’s a solid eve mount, works well.
This is a great mount for the money, others costing much more probably are not materially much better.

Solid and easy to install
Used this bracket to install my Starlink dish with a 6', 2" diameter galvanized fence post. It worked out well but there are a couple things I would suggest. It didn't come with flat or lock washers, just the lag bolts, regular bolts and nuts not lock nuts). If your installing an expensive antenna, I think flat and lock washers are a must. Also, perhaps a 6' pole was too much...it is sturdy and isn't going anywhere, but if I push on it about half way up it wobbles more than I would like due to some flex of the bottom bracket. Not too bad, but more than I hoped for. This is because the bottom bracket is 2 pieces bolted together. I have it at the widest setting, which leaves the least overlap of the bottom 2 pieces...maybe 5 or 6 inches? I think another 6" of overlap would make it more sturdy. I may attach another piece of metal a foot or so long across the bottom bracket to reduce the flex. Lastly, if you use this for Starlink, and use a 2" diameter post and Starlink post mount like I did, or you want to run your cable dfor whatever you're mounting down the inside of your pole, go ahead and use your angle grinder to cut a notch in the bottom of the post for the cable. The ledge of the bottom bracket where the pole rests is nice and wide and will not leave room for cat 6 or coax cable to route out the bottom of your pipe.

Photos and descriptions not accurate… this is a very good product
- Photo as provided in description appears yellow. Product as received is as silver as stainless.- Obtuse representation of holding power. (I’m mounting Starlink beta)- Hardware missing (?) Nope.I was concerned that the type and gauge of material might be problematic based on vague data available online. Holding capacity states 7.89 lbs. at certain sites. 7.89 lbs. is also stated as the weight of the “product” at other sites. I can confirm that the gauge of this material is more than adequate for mounting Starlink. (More on that after installation) Thickness of material is approximately 3mm (slightly less than 1/8”). The mount structure, and hardware was shipped in a long thin box, which was packaged in a longer Amz box. The carriage bolts and lag screws were in a small ziplock bag. The plastic bag was “murdered” during shipment….and loose in box #1.The only issue I have with this product is the lag screws provided for facia mounting. “Too small in diameter and too long”. Holding capacity requires 1/4” lags so go buy some. Length depends on wood substrate thickness.This mount is a great value. I now have zero issues mounting a Starlink satellite at roof peak subject to frequent 40-50 mph winds.

Does just what it made to do!
The bracket is well made and does just what it was intended to do. It didn't come with instruction, but they are available on the manufacturers website.

Good mount for Starlink
This mount is used on the gable-end of my garage for Starlink's "Dishy" receiver of low-earth-orbit internet service.It assembled easily and mounted on the garage with no problem. I bought a 5-foot-long, 2-inch-wide mast expressly made for "Dishy" from AI Satellite Installation Solutions (Loves Park, IL) to hold the receiver.We mounted it in mid-August 2021, and in mid-January 2022, everything is still rock-solid. It was a good purchase.

Heavy Duty, but needs a little help
Bought this to put up a 20 foot PVC mast for a HAM radio antenna. Bottom bracket is much heavier than I thought. Will use some backing wood and larger lag bolts to hold onto the eaves of the house. Needed some additional short screws and washers to really hold the L shape bracket together. No instructions, but photos on Amazon made it easy to figure out.

Sturdy well designed support with a few issues to pay attention to
The eave mount was easy to assemble and more sturdy than expected. There are a few gotchas to be mindful of. The included hardware was less than wonderful. I would have liked to have seen lock washers or nylon lock nuts, I don't trust a single nut not to loosen especially given wind will constantly move the mast back and forth and at some point that's got to cause the nuts to loosen. Also the slots in the top bracket were too narrow for the included carriage bolt. The carriage bolt never inserted into the slot which allowed the carriage bolt to spin when being tightened. Unfortunately I only discovered this while 25 feet up on a ladder after the top and bottom brackets had been installed, not the moment you want to discover the hardware doesn't fit. Had I completely pre-assembled on the ground I would have been aware of the problem and could have enlarged the slot with a file (but the ladder position made that too awkward and dangerous of a task).Instructions should have been included although as noted in other reviews instructions they are available at the manufacturers website. However the instructions do omit one important consideration for gable mounting (the most common). The bottom bracket comes in two independent pieces that are bolted together. You pick assembled length by lining up the holes in each bracket piece. However not all combinations yield two empty holes in the center of the assembled bottom bracket for the bottom clamp. If the bottom clamp isn't centered then the mast won't be vertical on the assumption the top bracket is mounted at the center of the gable peak. The bottom bracket hole positions should laid out by the manufacture to always permit mounting the bottom clamp in the center of the bottom bracket.For gable end mounts the necessary ladder work can be awkward (potentially dangerous). The top of your extension ladder must be below the eave otherwise it would interfere with the bottom bracket. Most eaves project a foot out from the wall. That means while at the top of the extension ladder trying to position and install the bottom bracket you have to lean backwards to access the face of the eave all while trying to hold the bottom bracket in place. It's bit dicey. Then following with the top bracket installation the same issue of having to lean backwards away from the ladder occurs. It would have been better to install the top bracket first (the ladder could have rested against the eave, not the wall for that). Be careful.
