The roof mount ties into the 2x10, not only the cheesy roofing material. A lot better support and stability.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing some reinforcing on the garage roof, but it's pretty steep (and I'm not as young and thin as I used to be), so the pole mount is probably going to work out better for me anyhow. I just hope that I have enough room to shoot over the neighbor's garage from my backyard!
