In 1984 I used one of those 5 foot TV type tripods on the roof of my house with a 4 element tribander and rotor with no problem. I took 6 6" bolts ran them thru the tripod feet thru the roof where i bolted pieces of 2x4's across the support beams. I used roofing tar to seal the area for waterproofing. No I wouldn't have trusted it thru a hurricane but i'd have taken down the beam before riding out a hurricane.

Needs to hold a tribander. All I've found are the cheaper TV type, ... none that I would put a tribander and rotor on.
