Well, it isn't a very good picture of it, but on further inspection, it
looks like there is a third clamp on the second leg of the tower via an
outrigger. But I did have to look twice. Nonetheless, I'm trying to
picture it with 2+ inches of New England ice on it. The arms look
awfully long, and that plate the box is mounted on looks awfully thin
compared to the load it is meant to support. I guess I'll have to see
this one in person.
