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 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

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!
