I think any successful portable operator would highly recommend you ditch the tripod and hold the antenna. It allows rapid and accurate polarity matching and tracking and it’s really not so difficult.

Can anyone please provide a recommendation on a tripod to use with an Arrow II? I want to make sure I find something that can handle the weight and do a 90 degree turn.
