Saveitforparts: Testing a Prototype Discovery Drive Az/El Antenna Rotator
Over on YouTube, Gabe from the saveitforparts channel has uploaded a new video testing a prototype of our upcoming Discovery Drive Az/El antenna rotator, which is now live for crowdfunding on Crowd Supply.
In the video, Gabe unboxes the Discovery Drive and sets it up with a Discovery Dish. He then tests it on various weather satellites, including Meteor M2-4, Meteor M2-3, DMSP, Metop-B, and Metop-C. Later in the video, Gabe shows that you can also attach an Arrow Yagi antenna to the mount and notes that in a future video, he hopes to test CubeSat and Amateur radio satellite reception with the Yagi.

We’re not making a huge profit from this product, the margin is below what would be considered normal for a product. This is just the price of the product based on the BOM, manufacturing costs, QC costs, shipping, tariffs, fees, insurances and regulatory compliance costs that we have to pay to sell it.
Too expensive.
How fun!
The turntable looks really great—easy to get started with!
I think his YouTube videos are interesting, and he has a great attitude toward the whole thing, a real doer.
Hope everything’s okay with Tech Minds too; he hasn’t posted anything on YouTube for a while now.
