AX-1 Tripod Adapter

Elecraft mailing list
I just ordered the AX-1 antenna Tripod Adapter but I am wondering if it fits the camera tripod that we have.   I need about two inches of clearance (i.e. radius from center of attachment screw) to clear the platform designed for the camera.  I am not sure that the AX-1 tripod adapter has that amount of distance between the BNC connector and the mounting screw.

Has anyone used this tripod adapter on a camera mount tripod?    Or, do I need to buy another tripod and if so, any suggestions?

73, phil, K7PEH

I just got one, and it happens to fit my camera tripod. The tripod attaches
to a camera using a smaller plastic piece that screws onto the camera (or
the antenna) and snaps onto the platform. There’s just enough clearance for
the BNC connector.

You might try something like a flash holder to get enough clearance.

I used it Sunday morning FD with my QRP K2.  It was quieter than the wire
in a tree, but pretty much everyone who could hear me with one could also
hear me with the other. Really nice!
