Been trying to find a solution to mounting the antenna on a tribrach, I’ve seen some of your solutions and just thought I would share mine.
It is made from a door stop with a bit of drilling and taping a thread on the bottom, height is 62mm with the thread adaptor…

will you use M2 as a base?
I think you need a metal plate of about 100 mm
from what you attached, " Ground plane. Helical antennas do not require ground planes."\
It can improve observation quality significantly. I have used them both ways and not seen a huge difference.

As jp said you dont need a ground plane with the helical antenna.
I have set it up an taken 4 hours of static observations wich turned out good when post processed.
Hi guys,
since I abandoned the idea of integrating M2 on my Phantom 4 Adv I was looking for a good mount for M2 helical antenna.
I finally did it. I converted a standard surveying extension pole to M2 pole.
A little cutting and drilling and here we go.
If only M2 worked stable in base mode I will be happy.
This configuration is perfect for static sessions over benchmarks etc.
