We have tremendous bear problems back home, so we ended up mounting ours on poles 12' up. A welder friend of mine and I made the poles. We used 6" well casing for the main pole, then just welded a piece of 4" at a 90on top, stabilized it from main pole to 4", then welded a boat winch on the bottom part, a couple eyelets up the pole, and a small roller on the end. They crank really easily with 200# of corn in them. For the actual feeder, they are just the Moultrie 200# barrels with their battery powered feeder. They really throw the corn from that height too. You may just be better off buying the barrel and spinners and then rigging your own pole/tripod.
