This magnetic mount is a handy way to temporarily secure a survey-grade GNSS or GPS antenna to a suitable metal surface. It is sturdy, compact, and designed for quick placement on metal roofs, parapets, and other ferrous materials.
The mounting rod uses the 5/8" 11-TPI thread commonly found on higher-end surveying antennas and equipment. The mount also provides enough height to help avoid kinking or collision between a TNC connector, antenna cable, and the roof surface.
Although the magnetic hold is very strong, this mount is not intended for automotive applications. Larger antennas may cause the mount to shear off at high speeds.

- Thread: 5/8" 11-TPI (threads per inch)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GNSS
- GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, covering positioning systems such as GPS and similar satellite networks. It matters here because high-precision GNSS modules can output lots of serial position data that this product can send wirelessly to a computer or phone.
- GPS
- The US satellite navigation system used by GNSS receivers to calculate position and time. Support for GPS is important because it is widely available and often used together with other constellations for more reliable positioning.
- Thread
- A low-power wireless mesh networking standard designed for smart home and IoT devices. It matters because Thread devices can relay messages through each other, helping build reliable networks for sensors and controllers.
