Did Tony ever start stocking these? Planning on adding antennas to the bird and this is the best setup I have seen.

I know he is very busy, so it may take some time. He has received a test batch, so we'll see what he decides to do.

Let's start with 100 kits.... I like these..

On it, Tony! We'll sort out the details shortly. I have a couple of updates on the other issues we discussed as well. I'll follow up with you tomorrow night.

Is it necessary to remove the compass cable when installing these adapters? Other than removing the two screws on each leg, what else is required for installing these adapters? Thanks.

That's really all that is required. You do need to remove the compass cable to run it through the middle of the adapter.

Ok, so that white compass cable connector will fit through that hole in the adapter? There is no need to remove the top of the phantom correct?

Absolutely. You will need to angle it in slightly, but it should go without much fuss.

Here is my setup with the mounting kit... the pinwheels hug the inside landing gear box and do not obstruct the camera view in any way.

Is it ok to bend the antenna cables as much as shown in the first post picture?

Ordered and paid for the plastic antenna holders on October 2nd and have heard nothing from them since. Wonder what happened???

Hmm, it's worrying that sidebox hasn't been seen online since 6th September... I hope he's still making these antenna mounting kits.

And here we are on October 16th and still no answer from him. Guess it is time to look for a refund and if no answer go to PayPal and file complaint.

We at FPVLR were hoping to get some stock from these guys, but our 10 sample kits that he sent us are finished so now we've designed and are cutting our own version at FPVLR, and they are available.
I cannot believe someone would stop honoring their customers' purchases unless it were for a big problem like health related or something similar. Still you need to keep communication up with your customers.

I got mine after i think 2-3 weeks of placing an order.

I actually never did got a reply about my own inquiry on the 2nd week, BUT I did got the product just no response. I must say the product is great, i just wish he'd just focus on the customer service part as well.

I ordered a version of the holder in the first picture below. After waiting far too long and requesting a refund, within three days they arrived. Also ordered from another dealer and received them very quickly. Where ever you order these from to hold antennas on your quad, I have a suggestion or a "fix" for manufacturers or owners to ease installation.
Notice the black on the second picture below. If you put them in your vise (carefully) and take a fine tooth hacksaw and make a couple of cuts and file it smooth, you will have a simple way to insert these under the legs without having to take off all the wires that are on your landing legs.
