Poynting MIMO 4 antenna feedback

[a900ss]

Has anyone used a Poynting MIMO 4 antenna (ideal the 4-17?).

Just looking for feedback vs other antennas.

I used to have a MIMO 3 but the newer MIMO 4 will fit the van food space better.

Will be paired up with a Teltonika RUTX50. Thanks.

Just to give you another option: the Poynting Swirl. One thing to watch is that the leads are quite short - which suited me but may be a problem for some layouts. Mine is also paired with a Teltonika RUTX50.

I did look at the Swirl as it looks a beast.

Does it have a ‘through the roof’ mounting kit like the MIMO 3 and MIMO 4? I wouldn’t need the base as my router would be installed inside the van.

(I already have the hole in the roof so do want to use that).

It has no roof mounting kit however it glues very easily with the wires going through a small hole in the centre. I placed it on a 5mm circle of sika adhesive, centred the cables in the hole, then left it for 24 hours for the adhesive to set before attempting to connect the cables. Note that I also sanded wherever the glue would touch on both roof and antenna.
While I did need to drill a new hole a small distance from the original the antenna was easily big enough to cover the original hole.
