axt1 tripod

rwwatson
Hello list,
I now almost have everything I need for my kx3 portable setup. I want to use
the ax1 with an axt1 adapter and my tripod has a removable camera plate
which seems to prevent the coax from attaching to the axt1. any suggestions
on a good tripod.

I made an adapter
I uses a flat aluminum bar with a hole drilled and tapped for the camera mount and then another hole with dnc adapter for coax and antenna.
Make short as possible fron tripod.

In reply to this post by rwwatson
I raised this issue after getting my AX1 with tripod adaptor, since it fit neither of my consumer tripods. You need either a really small tripod head or a adjustable ball-type adapter that elevates the AX1 up enough to use the BNC plug to the radio.

Here is a link to one small ball head adapter from Amazon:

AKOAK 1/4" Swivel Mini Ball Head Screw Tripod Mount for DSLR Camera Camcorder Light Bracket
4.4 out of 5 stars

I hope this helps.

I have an XIT Photo XT57TRS tripod that I use with the AXT1 with the AX1.
With the removable plate it seems to work well :
