However it seems to be those with the U-bolt mount that seem to be 5 degrees off in the dish elevation. I got the pole mount with mine because it looked to be less prone to problems. The U-bolt mount does seem to be more heavy duty, and probably keeps the dish closer to the axis of rotation, but the pole mount seems easier to use to me, and it works fine with my 90cm, and my dish elevation was within a degree of theoretical.
