[amsat-bb] Tripod for Arrow

[Robert MacHale]

I like the Amazon Basics tripod w/Pistol Grip:

AmazonBasics 70-Inch Pistol Grip Tripod with Bag

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LQX0P8Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Arrow comes with a 1/2-20 female thread for mounting with a camera tripod.
