For /P operation, your options open right up, from a handheld arrow-type yagi, to a fully automated system on a tripod (BTW, the Aldi bike workstands work really well). It really depends now on your budget and how much manual input you want to have. You can do it with unity gain antennas (halo, turnstyle, etc.), but a bit of gain really helps.
You can buy a dualband yagi from China via AliExpress for around $150 incl. GST, or go the genuine Arrow or similar.
