So this was a pretty silly project, but it does work. I ran my lightweight 6m mini horse antenna on a dx commander classic mast, guyed with this bearing rotatable via a Yaesu G450. Decidedly not a permanent solution, but fun for 6m openings in the summer.
Uses a cheap commonly available and budget friendly bearing type 30210 Size：50x90x21.75mm I printed it with ABS and it's been outside for months now and still works.
Bearing is $12 on amazon: https://link.amazon/B08FVmrnr

Currently working on a lightweight version of the GM3VLB Mini Delta antenna to try using fiberglass rebar for spreaders to have a multi-band beam on the thing, might be too much but it's worth a shot hihi.
