I just bought this (the UHF version), somewhat skeptical that it would be able to handle my ATAS120 screwdriver antenna but it is doing great and very stable. I have placed it on some uneven ground and the adjustability of the legs is pretty crucial on keeping the antenna straight. So far, very pleased with the tripod. Excellent video. 73
Saw this antenna tripod from HOA Ham. Very nice setup. Been debating this or the Wolf River Coil’s larger tripod base. FYI - On Amazon, I believe the 3/8 24 is the newer version, the UHF is the older version.
Good video Chuck and great review. You better think about straightening out Tony and get him on board with Ham Radio. That was funny Chuck, bringing in Tony. Thank you for sharing. Looks like a great Tripod.
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures I love your channel, you have got the best camera in the business. Totally humble, unlike me the radio big mouth. Carry on what you’re doing. It’s great
I have the V1 of it and it's great. I'm hoping they sell the 3/8-24 adapter separately so I can "upgrade" my old unit. Now if I can only find something like a collapsible (maybe fiberglass) non-conductive "thing" with a 3/8-24 thread on one end so I can use it to hold up a counterpoise or wire. That would replace the 4 foot long fence post many people use to hold the end of a 49:1 EFHW or the counterpoise on a Buddistick PRO.
Very pretty tripod Chuck, looks tacticool. My concern is plastic build holding up during multiple hikes & the sun weakening leg/base connectors when left outside during activations. Thanks for video!
Hi Chuck, I first saw the MK2 tripod on HOA Ham's channel. He showed that you can use banana plugs that fit those ring terminals to connect up radials. Have a safe and Happy New Year. 73 WJ3U
"Ham radio's still a thing?" says the guy that put a film camera on the tripod. The irony was not lost. LOLOL
Glad you are showing this off Chuck! Great piece of gear!
Yea you sold me on it and I have been eying it for a while!

Ali, that's great to hear glad it is working out for your ATAS 120!

Yes your right on the versions, but it has both in the new version.
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures Indeed! 73!

Thanks Phil!
Listen you had me at the point when you held it up and said it was this size
And it wasn't even in it's smallest configuration. Thanks Chris and it may work for you !

They are awesome, love mine and the antenna.
Yea I can't wait to get both out and use them!

There isn't much plastic just the bushings in the legs and I suspect it is nylon, thanks for the comment Javi!
The bit was too cool Chuck.

Nice. Love me a good tripod :)
Thanks Tom! You can't have too many tripods!
I like it!
Thanks Ape next time you have a couple ML TO and I will talk about how good they are Lol!
Need more Tony. He's way cooler than you!
This is true!
Way overpriced.
It's not cheap but compared to other companies selling spike for 100.00 not bad really, thanks for watching!
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures I agree, some things in this hobby are way overpriced.
