A Tripod Adapter for the Chelegance MC-750 Antenna by JNC Radio.
EDIT 3/7/2023: Made the print thicker as the weight of the antenna would cause it to easily bend on the tripod. This version now fully encapsulates the ¼-20 coupling nut.
In one of the video tutorials, Chelegance shows how to use a tripod instead of the ground spike to deploy the antenna. The Spike used has an M10 thread. The problem, is that an adapter that converts a standard ¼-20 screw to M10 is extremely hard to find. Most camera tripods have a male ¼-20 screw built into the mount so I designed a piece that attaches using a ¼-20 coupling nut and an M10 bolt. I also added another hole so that you can use the ground spike as well.
To Build this you will need the following Hardware (found at my local Home Depot):
