Poor materials, suitable for radio antennas

It looks solid and robust in the photos, but it is not. You will most likely need to buy something in a year or so as something may break or break.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Upgradable

Very light and comes with a nice carry case

Very light and comes with a nice carry case. Installs in less than a minute and can be used with multiple lightweight antennas. .)

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Something different

If you like taking your rig outside and need a quick way to install your antenna, then this is for you!

This is what I was looking for. I just got a new vertical antenna from Wolfriver Coils (model TIA) and was looking to get it on the ground. Also, it's easier for me to tune the antennas (I'm in a power chair) swr. I would also like to thank Gary at Wolfriver Coils for his help.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Defective

Great tripod for multiple antenna systems

Great upgrade for MP1DXMAXX, can also be used with other antennas. I'm currently using mine as a base for a CHA Hybrid Micro/CHA MIL/CHA EXT setup (17ft 4in). Mounting it vertically about 5-6 feet off the ground seems to work better than using a spike. , The stability that can be achieved by hanging an antenna bag or other weight on the hook is a big plus in windy conditions.

Pros
  • AV Accessory
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

The tripod is very cheaply made.

This company has a good product but the tripod was very cheap, had dents in the paint. They use rivets instead of nuts and bolts and one part was missing from the lot. Also, the company doesn't seem to have an online presence to call and ask questions about the products. So I'll only give them a 3. I'll still buy their antennas, just not the $169 tripod which isn't even $10. They should provide good quality carbon fiber. I would pay more for that, but not for such poor quality.

Pros
  • Antennas
Cons
  • Not sure

Super Antenna Stand

In my opinion a must if you have a Super One antenna. In my opinion it is necessary if you have a Super One antenna. As you know, Super Ground requires radials and that makes it a little easier to see. During a field day, this can potentially keep someone from stepping on your antenna and lifting it off the ground. Going hiking will add an extra pound or two, but I think it's worth waiting to get it. It comes in a black pouch with a handle and zip closure. I will be able to use this tripod with
