Re: [Elecraft] axt1 tripod
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 : https://imgur.com/a/dIaXvZl -eric On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 5:57 PM Walter Underwood wrote: > Tripod screws are 1/4-20, so an angle bracket and a screw and a wingnut > could help.

Re: [Elecraft] axt1 tripod
Tripod screws are 1/4-20, so an angle bracket and a screw and a wingnut could help. Tilt the head over 90º. I did something similar to attach a Nagoya NMO base station mount to a tripod. Photos and description here. I’ve since replaced the hex nut with a wingnut. https://observer.wunderwood.org/2018/07/08/using-a-mobile-antenna-as-a-temporary-base-antenna/ wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Mar 31, 2020, at 5:49 PM, Jay Rutherford wrote: > > I raised this issue after getting my AX1 with tripod adaptor, since it fit > neither of my consumer tripods.

Re: [Elecraft] axt1 tripod
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. 73 Jay K3BH On Tue, Mar 31, 2020, at 18:16, rwwatson wrote: > Hello list, > I now almost have everything I need for my kx3 portable setup.

Re: [Elecraft] axt1 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.

[Elecraft] axt1 tripod
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. -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
