We've integrated a camera mount as reliable when mounted on your kayak as it is on your car windshield.
The RAM Locking Suction Camera Mount, manufactured
by
RAM Mounts and enhanced with the addition of
Kayalu
accessories, provides a unique opportunity for you to secure
your camera or speedlight using a locking vacuum cup design similar
to the mechanical
suction cups used by professional glass
installers.
The mount and our
added accessories are constructed of
premium-grade materials, all suitable for
use in freshwater and saltwater
environments.
The mount's ball-and-socket
head is supported by a
spring-loaded composite arm. The arm's handle can be
loosened for
positioning your camera, and tightened with a single hand. This
head
assembly is tough as nails, easily capable of stabilizing the camera's position.
Atop the arm is an anodized aluminum ball with a
1/4"-20
screw, compatible with any camera or device ordinarily accepting a
standard
tripod screw. We add an EPDM rubber bushing on the stud to ensure a
snug fit
with your camera while protecting it from unnecessary
scratches.
If
you are interested in mounting a larger
video camera or speedlight, you may consider our KLR-5450B Video Camera Mount. That mount sports a wide base adapter instead of the aluminum ball that is included with this mount. Alternatively, we
provide you with the option of ordering this camera mount and substituting
RAM's composite wide base at no
additional charge (see Options
below). You can purchase the ball,
the wide base, or both if you intend to
swap parts for various
devices.
The locking suction cup at the base
of this unit
provides an exceptionally strong grip by comparison with
competitive
suction-based mounts. This mount, cleanly affixed to any non-porous
surface
(glass, steel, fiberglass, enamel, plastic, etc.), can secure devices weighing up to 2 lbs. (.9
kg).
The mount can be affixed to a glass window, fiberglass kayak,
car
fender or a boat windshield by power-locking its vacuum grip to the
surface
through the action of a mechanical lever arm. And when you want to
remove the
mount, you simply twist the lock counter-clockwise and pull up a
small rubber
tab.
To enhance the functionality of this
industrial quality
camera mount, we include a marine-grade, nylon-coated
bungee tether and a plated
steel breech clip, which allow you to secure the
mount in the event that the
mount is bumped or the suction becomes
disengaged.
