Antenna mount secured in two places (deruku)
An external antenna mount in the m3x family that is fixed at two points, so the bracket does not hinge when you articulate the antenna.
What it takes
- 3D print
- Disassembly
- Purchase required
Difficulty 2 of 3 — moderate.
Details
deruku's Printables model addresses the hinging that a single fixing allows when the whip is folded, by securing the mount in two places. The same u.FL-to-RP-SMA pigtail and antenna choices as the m3x mounts apply; there is no forum thread for it.
