1. A mounting device for a base station antenna, the mounting device comprising:
a clamping device comprising a pair of clamping members configured to mount the base station antenna to a mounting pole;
an adjustable movable component having a first arm and a second arm pivotably coupled to the first arm, wherein a position of the adjustable movable component is related to a mechanical tilt of the base station antenna relative to the mounting pole;
a support member, the support member having a base coupled to one of the clamping members and a pair of legs extending outwardly from opposing ends of the base, at least one of the legs having opposing flanged edges;
a self-locking worm drive extending between the opposing flanged edges of the support member; and
a spiral gear integrally formed with an edge of the first arm of the adjustable movable component and engaged with the self-locking worm drive,
wherein, by actuating the self-locking worm drive, the spiral gear is configured to move relative to the self-locking worm drive to adjust the position of the adjustable movable component, and thereby adjust the mechanical tilt of the base station.
