Is this a flexible antenna? For example, could I bend it around the top of a backpack when not in use?

The antenna IS very flexible...it's the antenna I keep on it when my HT is attached to my backback. Storing inside my backpack with it bent for [an extended period of time] is something I am not willing to try.

Not and have it retain shape and performance it's flexible and can be bent some but mine has a kink in it from how it rides in my jeep

I would not bend it. It is flexible but fragile. The base is pretty weak. Mine was broken upon delivery because of the way it was bent in the mailing envelope, which wasn't particularly sharp.

As long as it not a sharp and drastic bend you should be ok. The more gradual the arch the better it is for the antenna.. Good luck!

Yes you could but I wouldn't. It's not like super fragile but I wouldn't want to risk damaging it.

It's flexible enough to be bend 90° or more, however it seems to me that less than 60-70° would not permanently damage it.

Yes, it is flexible, like a normal HDMI cable, but you can´t blend in 90° on corners, also in curve style.

Very flexible, bendable, its like rubber. I have mine on top of my PLASTIC 3-drawer bureau, works amazing!

No, the wire is fairly stiff. I suppose you might be able to bend it with some force but it might break.

I believe so. It attaches by a velcro strip that you can wrap around whatever you want to attach it to. There's a velcro attachment thing on each side (two at top and two below). It also can be bent however you need to bend it.

As yet have not received the antenna....might not get it till round the end of the month. So, if you find out about a good mobile mount for the four band antenna, I would like to know. I plan to mount on top of a one of my luggage rack arms (GMC Envoy).

Yes it is flexible and can be positioned anywhere you want it. It also rotates about 320 degrees.

It's made of flexible clear plastic with some metallic conductors embedded in the material. I'd think that you could safely bend it in a curve, but not bend it at a sharp angle.

Any bending of the antenna will snap it at the base. Can happen putting the cover on/off or especially in windy conditions as the cover turns into a kite.

Mine does have the flexible socket, but I'm not sure if it is a great thing. Where it is flexible, mine now shows some exposed wire. Otherwise, a great unit!

No, this version requires a fixed, stable position. I suggest you look at the version that includes King's in-motion antenna, meant for use while traveling. Their website can give you more details.

It bends the antenna. After about a year and a half of use, my antenna broke off.

Sorry, I didn't buy this antenna for it's intended purpose. i needed something thin that telescopes for work.

I doubt that it is flexible enough for what you want to do. It has a spiral wire molded into its fairly thick sidewall.

The set-up was easy enough, but don't expect the antenna to pull in a usable signal. This is a portable unit, and to make it truly portable I have married it to a flat panel antenna. The little tiny antenna can be used to play with kittens if you tie a string to the end of it. That said the TV has been fine as an emergengy Tornado weather unit once hooked up to the flat panel ant.

Yea but dont bend it might stop working if you bend it anywhere on the cable

Its some sort of plastic and no, its not flexible. If it were I'd be afraid it would collapse when using it. The reason I have one is so I don't squat any more and I don't have to expose myself.
