Just a quick issue to point out with standard CAT5 is that the connectors are usually made from brittle plastic, which is likely to become more brittle after lots of UV exposure, which tends to make the little plastic clips that securely hold them in tend to break. We're not exactly treating the equipment with kid gloves. We need a solution that is robust, and can take a little abuse. While ungainly, cable TV coax is built to operate outside, in all kinds of weather. I'm not championing that as a solution, I'm just pointing out that you may need something more.... industrial strength than CAT5.

As to the jawstand tilt, the ground isn't always level. A simple solution is to wedge the legs a little.
Solid food and solid plans. I'll drink to that!
