Tripod for my satellite rotor
"This is a great tripod. Going to work great for my PSR-100 satellite rotor!"
CARBON FIBER TRIPOD · Masts & Infrastructure
A portable mast, tripod, guying, or infrastructure product that supports a documented antenna load.
Why operators make room for it
Portable vertical antennas become much easier to use when the feed point has a stable home. The CHA CARBON FIBER TRIPOD creates that low, compact support without forcing an operator to carry a surveyor tripod, drive a spike into the ground, or improvise a base from whatever happens to be nearby. It is especially useful on a patio, campsite, picnic table area, balcony, hard-packed surface, or any operating position where a small freestanding footprint is more practical than a ground mount.
The tripod weighs just over one pound, folds to approximately 8 1/4 inches, adjusts from about 11 to 17.3 inches, and uses 10-ply carbon-fiber legs with a machined aluminum base. Its supplied interface accepts both 1/4-20 equipment and the 3/8-24 Chameleon ecosystem, giving one compact support more than one job in a travel or field kit. The published static load rating is up to 22 pounds, but antenna height, leverage, wind, uneven ground, and the complete installed configuration still govern safe use.
For amateur-radio use, the guide shows the 3/8-24 adapter supporting a CHA HYBRID-MICRO, CHA HYBRID-MINI, CHA BLANK, or CHA MCC at the feed point. That creates practical paths for documented portable vertical systems, including supported CHA PRV 2.0 and CHA BV configurations, as well as other complete builds that use those feed-point components. The tripod's real value is not the carbon fiber by itself—it is the antenna position it makes possible.
Choose the CHA CARBON FIBER TRIPOD when pack size matters, the antenna needs a low and stable feed point, and a larger support would be unnecessary. It gives a new customer a clear starting platform and gives an existing Chameleon owner another way to deploy compatible MPAS READY components in places where a spike, clamp, or full-size tripod is inconvenient. Follow the current guide for the complete antenna, and stabilize or guy the installation whenever the radiator, wind, or site creates more leverage than the small footprint can safely manage.

"This is a great tripod. Going to work great for my PSR-100 satellite rotor!"
"Well manufactured little tripod!"
"Well made tripod. Thinking about getting another one"
"Makes the CHA PRV the perfect portable wip antenna."
"Cute"
"The CHA Carbon Fiber Tripod is a compact-and-well-built tripod that mates well with the Chameleon UHF Tactical Yagi Antenna. The intended use of the two items will be portable operations supporting EmComm and other public service activities."
"This is an outstanding price of equipment and even better, made in the USA. I will use this during my POTA and SOTA activations when I can’t use a ground spike. Thank you Chameleob!!!."
"Great Tripod, using along with blank and 17’ antenna from Chameleon. Great Quality!"
"I LOVE THIS TRIPOD!! I can’t believe how light and small it packs up for how stable it still manages to be. Every detail is carefully thought out. I especially love the spring-loaded multi-size center stud, and the fact that the leg angle adjustment clips are NOT spring loaded. This makes it so much easier to deploy and position them, and they’re a lot sturdier as a result. They won’t ever wear out. I deploy this regularly with the FSR faraday radials, a blank, M-coil and SS17 and the center of gravity is exactly right for this to be stable and a real performer. The bag is great as well, and has room for lots of those accessories inside. I store the FSR hardware, blank, coil, and some small tools in along with the tripod, which I keep wrapped in a microfiber to avoid scratching/nicking the material. Overall, this is a steal at twice the price."
"Very lightweight and compact - high quality construction - I look forward to getting it in the field."
