Campingman Portable Eco from Megasat requires neither power cable nor control unit

Niederlauer. It will be a premiere at this year's Caravan-Salon: Megasat will present with the Campingman Portable Eco the first SAT antenna that does not require a separate power source. This makes the new device an energy saver that does not place additional strain on the vehicle battery. The Campingman Portable Eco once again underlines the innovative strength of the company from the Franconian Niederlauer.

"We wanted to develop an antenna that is extremely easy to handle and at the same time keeps the power consumption in the vehicle as low as possible. In the CampingmanPortable Eco we have implemented these features perfectly, explains Sven Melzer, founder and managing director of Megasat Werke GmbH. Melzer did not miss the opportunity to personally check the characteristics as well as the reception performance and quality of the new device on a test drive to the southern tip of Italy.

Very easy operation, automatic alignment
The innovative antenna is extremely easy to use. Since Megasat also dispenses with a separate control unit, all that is needed is to connect the coaxial cable to the receiver or TV set - that's it. Power is also supplied via this connection. As soon as the TV or receiver is switched on, the CampingmanPortable Eco automatically starts the alignment with the factory-programmed satellite Astra 1. Also practical: In case of future transponder changes on the satellite, no transponder updates at the antenna are necessary.

Another practical feature of the system is the flexible choice of installation location. Due to the mobile and compact design, the 4.2 kilogram light Campingman Thanks to the carrying handle, Portable Eco can be easily positioned where there is a clear view of the satellite and reception is best. This is particularly practical for locations under trees, which prevent direct targeting of the satellite. And to prevent the device from unexpectedly getting legs, it can be secured with a robust metal eyelet. An elegant plastic cover protects the antenna against external damage and weather influences. The most suitable for a participant Campingman Portable Eco is available from the fourth quarter of 2018 and costs 799 euros.
