My opinion, the cell boosters like this are best suited when you have acceptable signal outside but the structure prevents good signal inside. I'm assuming you want something because cell signal sucks where people tend to camp.
You will be better served with a hotspot device with an external antenna and using wifi for your phone. If you want a permanent mount and ease if set, get an omni stick antenna. For ultimate adjustability, get a high quality directional and mount it to something you can point at your nearest tower.
I went with:
Poynting XPOL antenna
Netgear M1 router
Unifi Nanostation (for borrowing or connecting to legit wifi)
Mounted antenna/Nanostation to a collapsible flag pole. I did have to run wires in, which I accomplished by installing an electrical pass through into a slide wall where my entertainment center is. Use cellmapper.net to find the nearest cell tower, point the antenna at it and you're in business. Have picked up 2 solid bars at close to 50 miles with light obstructions (trees, etc).
