[Elecraft] AX-1 Tripod Adapter

[Peter Wollan]

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!
