The RAM Locking Suction Aqua Box®,
manufactured by RAM
Mounts and enhanced with the addition of our Kayalu Toughbar® and additional accessories, provides a unique opportunity for you to hold and protect your
valuable electronic devices, papers and objects using a locking vacuum cup
design similar to the mechanical suction cups used by professional glass
installers.
The Aqua Box has a clear, rubber front panel, through which you can see and press buttons on your phone, GPS or other mobile device while ensuring that the unit remains isolated from wind and rain — even a sandstorm.
The Aqua Box is not designed to be 100% waterproof so, if submerged, some moisture may enter. The Aqua Box is water resistant, capable of keeping its contents dry in rain and environments exposed to moisture.
With the addition of a Toughbar® extension, this mount allows you to position the Aqua Box in the most convenient orientation possible.
The Locking Suction Aqua Box and components of this mount are constructed of premium-
grade materials.
A small Aqua Box
comes standard
with this mount and we carry three additional sizes of Aqua
Box — medium,
large and wide, which you can upgrade with your mount at
nominal additional
cost. You can also purchase Aqua Boxes separately if you
want to swap different
sizes into the same mount.
The Aqua Box
is quite amazing. Here's
why...
The rugged Aqua Box is
constructed with a clear,
rubber lens mounted on its face. A hinged door,
framing the lens, enables
you to place your electronic device or valued object
inside while allowing
easy access if required. A hinged clasp on the side of the
Aqua Box snaps
closed to keep the door tightly shut and sealed. The clear lens
allows you
to view an electronic display, as well as to press function keys
while in
place.
Inside the Aqua Box are layers of removable EVA
foam
cushioning, which enable you to secure your electronic device even if they
are slim or oddly shaped. If required, you can lock the box with a small
padlock, once closed.
Because the Toughbar® extension increases leverage at the base of this mount, the KLR-5600-T includes an anodized aluminum RAM diamond ball above the suction unit (as shown in image with specifications, below) — not a high strength composite ball suitable for shorter mounts as we ordinarily include in our Locking Suction mounts.
At the base of the KLR-5600-T is one of two RAM Mounts coupler arms — this lower arm is spring loaded for convenient adjustment. At the upper end of the Toughbar® extension rod is a second RAM Mounts coupler. Both of these couplers have large handles which can be loosened for positioning your Aqua Box in a wide variety of positions, and locked into position with a single hand. These couplers are manufactured of high-strength composite and are tough as nails.
More about the power-locking suction...
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 an Aqua Box
containing devices and objects
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 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 Aqua Box is bumped or the suction becomes
disengaged.
A
note regarding operation of iPhone and iPod
Touch
screens...
The flexible lens on an Aquabox will
allow you to
depress the click wheel and all contact-based buttons on an
Apple iPod, but it
does not carry the electrostatic charge required to
operate an iPhone or iPod
Touch screen, or the sensitivity required to dial
an iPod click wheel. An iPhone
ringtone is audible through an Aqua
Box.
