I have been using my Arrow satellite antenna on my tripod lately. This adaptor fits any ARCA style tripod mount and offers a tube / sleeve design that doesn't require any modifications to your antenna. This design uses a 7/8" OD aluminum tube as a handle extension out the back of the adaptor. See the photo for reference. This is a screen grab from a recent YouTube video related to Summits on the Air satellite operations. https://youtu.be/zdNF1uXVSuI?si=-b3dBnzw-_UpTMf1
Gently pull the foam handle off the butt of your antenna and slip it on your 7/8" aluminum tube. The square antenna shaft tension fits in the adaptor, and the aluminum tube gets a hole drilled in it to match the diameter of the hole in the adaptor.
Works fine with PLA or PETG. I have not tested any other materials. The Retention Pin part works best with PETG for a less brittle flex and longer life.
I'd like to re-design this in OPEN SCAD so it could be easily modifiable. On the to-do list.
