A tripod might be a problem, since there is so much weight on the front with a larger dish. I built up something at home with Unistrut and a steel plate to bolt to. It uses pipe flanges to level it.

I want to build one out of aluminum and try it outdoors at the local park. Steel is waaaayyyyy too heavy!

Also, stay away from those cheap-o DC-to-AC inverters they make for using a laptop in the car. They make tons of interference on a radio....probably would make lines in the TV monitor, too. I'm asking Santa for a marine-type inverter, with really good filtering.
