1. A collar mount, the collar mount comprising:
a plurality of pressure members, each of the plurality of pressure members comprising an upper pressure plate and a lower pressure plate each having a forward edge configured to engage a base station monopole at a pressure point;
a dispersement plate connected to each upper pressure plate and each lower pressure plate via a connection mechanism, each dispersement plate configured to be positioned at the pressure point between the forward edge of the respective pressure plate and the base station monopole; and
wherein each connection mechanism is configured to hold the respective dispersement plate in non-rigidly fixed position relative to the respective pressure plate, thereby allowing the collar mount to be in a tilted position relative to the base station monopole while each dispersement plate is in a flush and parallel position with an outer surface of the base station monopole.
