It was a great pedestal mount and was very stable. It was constructed out of 90mm galvanised pipe (the pier) and right angle steal for the legs. Each leg had a leveling screw and the three cables running to each leg help with overall stability. Alas I sold the whole lot for $1000 to fund my 12.5" project.
