NEW Low-Cost EMC Tripod

The original ABSOLUTE EMC Tripod is explicitly designed for the EMC market. A low-cost and easy-to-use tripod with no metallic parts with the exception of the antenna connection screw. The EMC Tripod is easy to assemble, take apart, and store. It is fully adjustable in height with the center mast section. Materials used are low permittivity allowing for use in most EMC applications to hold antennas, cameras, RF field probes, cables off the floor, and other support possibilities. If any plastic pieces break, they will be replaced free of charge for the product's life.

The EMC Tripod is 3D Printed with PLA plastic and uses 1" hardwood dowels for the structure. The full kit includes the (1x) Tripod section, (1x) Tripod Head (when ordering, please specify screw thread ¼" -20, 5/16" -18, or 3/8"-16), (3x) Tripod Leveling Feet, and (4x) 1" Hardwood dowels 3 ft long. Or you can choose to purchase pieces and build the antenna yourself. Any 1" wood dowel can be used with the system. 3 ft dowels are standard with a complete kit order. Dowels are available at most lumberyards. Dowels can be cut down for a shorter height, or longer lengths can be purchased for an application where more height is needed.

**All 3D Printed products from Absolute EMC come with an unlimited warranty. If any items become worn out or become damaged, we will replace them free of charge.

*Use good engineering judgment for weight loading. It is not designed for heavy antennas/loads or where the center of gravity is overhanging from the center. A weight ballast should be used to weigh down the tripod for larger antennas; therefore, it is not top-heavy. It is easy to hang a bag with weighted materials(woodblocks, ream of paper, bricks, rocks) off of the center tripod section. Please refer to the manual.
