Description
Since Quadmula only gives out TBS SMA antenna mount TPU parts, I've decided to design and test out my own. The optional TPU part from Quadmula doesn't even fit the slimmest SMA antenna and it requires the T-plate to secure it on the mount.
With this mount, the inner diameter is set to firmly hold onto a regular SMA connector.
Design Features:
*Stability Arms provide secure and quick mounting whilst reducing weight

Securing the Receiver Antenna without zipties
When securing the T-shaped/Immortal T receiver antenna, I find it's best to melt out a channel on either side of the antenna hole with a soldering iron (see image). Then, fit the T-shape in the hole and stick the horizontal shaft on the channels.
Now the photos show that I've slit the hole at the bottom, you DON'T need to do that. It's because I only designed this after I've fit the receiver on the quad. And by that time I'd already heat-shrunk the antenna on the receiver, so the cut is just to allow the antenna to slide in the hole
