I've got mine temporarily mounted right on top center of the top plate of my S800 and I've been surprised at how well it works. I've got it on a velcro pad so I can break everything down and stow in the carrying case. I understand the concern for interference but so far I've not experienced any problems. I'll probably rig up some sort of removable mast eventually but, for what it's worth, on top of the plate is working for me.
