Need help looking for a post anchor...

I am going to be anchoring a 4x4 PT post to an existing concrete slab and I am looking for a steel post anchor that is strong enough to hold the weight a patio...the only one i've found uses one 1/2" bolt to anchor the post to the concrete, I saw a pic of one that uses 4 bolts to anchor it to the concrete slab but can't find one anywhere....

Does anyone know where i can find a sturdy post anchor or are the ones with just the one bolt sufficient?

I don't understand your question.

A 1/2" X whatever redhead is GOING to hold your post to a slab. Use a
Simpson ABA, ABE, or similar post base and the redhead to keep it in place. I've done thousands of patio covers that way and have yet to have a problem with one, even in 90+ mph winds.
