Controller Antenna loose

The external controller antenna is loose especially when I have a reflector on it. It usually just flops to either side. Is there a way to tighten this antenna without replacing it?

Doubtful since it’s held in place by two small plastic notches inside the base of the antenna. It’s a rather poor design and not one that’s likely going to stand the test of time for many people.

It’s been loose for a while. My P3S is almost 8 years old so it doesn’t surprise me. I still use it regularly for Light Painting. Is it easy to replace the antenna with a new one? Is it even worth it? the controller is working fine other than the antenna flopping. I have replaced the battery in the controller and installed the tablet holder mod, so I have been inside the controller.

Here’s a video showing how it’s installed. I think the hardest part is going to be finding a replacement antenna.

Thanks for that video. Yes, I have been doing a bit of research and replacement antennas don’t seem to be readily available.
