MLA-30+ Loop Antenna Tripod Mount Support

This loop antenna support is designed for mounting an MLA-30 or MLA-30+ active loop antenna on a standard camera tripod. The support can also be adapted for many other loop antennas up to approximately 1 meter in diameter, provided the dimensions are adjusted if necessary. This support works great, and I used an RTL-SDR V4 to receive WEFAX images. Assembly is very simple, use the images as reference, and have fun!
