Or use a ham rotor on bottom and light channel master on top. The pole could go thru it so you could mount a wireless zoom camera to the other side for balance and LOS convenience. or put Horiz on one side and Vertical on the other, and don't forget the camera in the middle. you could be the local loco wisp reporter at all the breaking news sites.

That's pretty close to what I envision. I need azimuth and rotation. I have a set of step motors from an upgrade on one of my telescopes and thought of maybe doing a McGyver on it but if there was something already out there that would allow a small dish to mount to it it would save me time since I never have any as it is. The mast has a 125 pound payload rating so I can go pretty beefy.
