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 >

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.

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:
