Dear amateur radio fediverse,
Some day this summer I saw some people discussing this Chinese 5.6m long whip antenna (see pictures). It is the one with the hilarious "Smooth stretch, Up to 14 vibrators" text...
Has anyone of you tried it? Was it any good? Any recommendations for similar antennas?
I like how ulta-portable the AX1 seems to be and it would be fun to DIY something similar. But with this kit I don't need to build anything myself!

- Picture of the antenna taken from AliExpress, showing four parts. The first is a cylindrical base with a SO-239 on the side and M10 threads on the top and bottom. The second is a ground spike with M10 threads. The third is a 5.6m whip with M10 threads. The fourth is some kind of counterpoise or radial wire. (remote)
