[Elecraft] axt1 tripod

[Walter Underwood]

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.
