This new satellite system from CAMOS represents a real breakthrough. Instead of a conventional dish, the Flat-Sat uses a planar antenna to catch a satellite’s beam. This is a very efficient method and enables the “dish” to be much smaller, taking up less room on a vehicle’s (or boat’s) roof and making it easier both to install and use. In the case of this model, the antenna measures 40cm across but has a performance similar to a dish of 55cm diameter. And, when it’s in the parked position, the unit’s height is just 12cm.
In addition, the antenna’s design makes it much more resistant to wind than a normal dish, allowing it to be used in conditions where other systems would have to be lowered for safety.
As with the Alden automatic version, this dish is a lot more tolerant in terms of adjustment than most conventional dishes. Although, obviously, they need to be pointed at the satellite, the angle of adjustment is less critical. After a bit of practise, setting the system up should take under a minute.
