Just saw your post from Aug. of '16, great photo and install. I noted how the Ubiquiti radio was mounted, looks like it did not have the convenience and strength of the other mounts which employed the BAND-IT style stainless steel straps and you had to drill, tap and screw it to the pole. Early on there were few if any choices in mounts for radios like the Ubiquiti until RF Elements came along. I've used a dozen or so of their first generation mounts for the Ubiquiti NSM2's and 5's as well as the smaller Loco. It features a U-bolt mount for a standard 1-1/4" antenna mast. But their latest generation employs the worm gear drive stainless steel straps so you can run those around your pole instead of breaking out the drill. I used the cumbersome but necessary BAND-IT straps, buckles and tool for years up high on steel street light poles and traffic signal poles to avoid abrading or drilling the galvanized or powder-coated finishes. Otherwise you could expect a couple of years later an ugly rust stain running down the side of an otherwise pristine pole.NEMA box with POE switch and DIN rail power supply.
Somehow your link got boogered. Here it is HERE.I used some of these a couple of times - stainless steel hose clamp kit. https://www.amazon.com/Breeze-Clamp-Stainless-System-contains/dp/B009SD0CNK
Tell me about it. On one occasion, I dropped the tightening tool from about 25 feet, hit the sidewalk and broke one of the two wings off the tightening crank. Kept a safety line on its replacement.Yeah Ive put them together as well. I also have used banding tools but they are a PIA.
