[Elecraft] Tripod for ATX1 Tripod Adapter

[James Driskell]

Bill,

I had a similar problem but solved it by carving out part of the side of the tripod platform to accommodate the bnc connector extending downward.  The tripod still holds a camera if necessary.

I bought this Amazon tripod to use with my AXT1 Tripod Adapter: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FAmazonBasics-Lightweight-Camera-Mount-Tripod%2Fdp%2FB00XI87KV8%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1_sspa%3Fcrid%3DLDLR3B6E8EEX%26keywords%3Dtripod%2Bfor%2Bcamera%26qid%3D1676688156%26s%3Delectronics%26sprefix%3Dtripod%252Celectronics%252C227%26sr%3D1-1-spons%26psc%3D1%26spLa%3DZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE1WVgxM0lTVjBXUkEmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAwMDE0NjMzOTJFTUY4N0szQ0I0JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwNTc1NjUySUVLUUlaMEM2U0hOJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ%3D%3D&data=05%7C01%7C%7C63825384b3fe41c6a22e08db115ae1b0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638122854250029983%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=AlLjqnjcuBzAlnCD1MwH6O67lw%2Bu7H57y%2FyXobgQHm0%3D&reserved=0

It is the Amazon Basics 50-inch Lightweight Camera Mount Tripod Stand With Bag

The problem is that the AXT1 Adapter will not screw on because the BNC connector hits the top plate that holds the tripod screw. So a smaller in diameter tripod top plate is needed. I would like a tripod tat would extend to 3 or more feet.

Any suggestions?
