Camos Crank Up Plus Flat Sat System
The new Camos Crank up satellite system 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.
As well as being small in size, the Camos Crank up Plus Flat Sat 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.
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.
