CHA SURVEYOR-A: Ultra-Sturdy Antenna Tripod Adapter

The CHA SURVEYOR-A is a heavy-duty adapter designed to convert a standard 5/8-11 threaded surveyor tripod into a highly stable antenna base. Engineered by Chameleon Antenna, this adapter allows amateur radio operators to mount a wide variety of antennas securely on a tripod, providing exceptional stability and flexibility for outdoor operations.

Key Features:

Compatible with Standard Surveyor Tripods:
The CHA SURVEYOR-A fits any commercial-grade surveyor tripod with a 5/8-11 threaded stud, allowing operators to source their own tripod from retailers like Amazon or hardware stores, eliminating unnecessary markups.

3/8-24 Threaded Top for Antenna Compatibility:
The adapter converts the 5/8-11 tripod thread to a 3/8-24 thread, making it compatible with a wide range of antennas. This standard size means operators can mount popular antennas such as the CHA HYBRID-MINI, CHA HYBRID-MICRO, CHA MPAS 2.0, CHA TDL, CHA PRV, and more.

Unmatched Stability for Large Antennas:
When paired with a commercial surveyor tripod, the CHA SURVEYOR-A creates an ultra-stable base, capable of supporting large and tall antennas like the CHA SS25 (25 ft telescoping whip) for extended periods, even in challenging weather conditions. Spread the tripod legs wide for maximum stability when using ground radials for enhanced performance.

Built-In Lateral Holes for Quick Radial Attachments:
The adapter features six pre-drilled holes around its base, allowing for quick attachment of banana plug radials or counterpoises. This design ensures better grounding and optimized performance, especially in portable and outdoor setups. Users can easily customize radial lengths to suit ground conditions and environmental factors.
