The RAM Locking Suction Binocular Mount,
manufactured by
RAM Mounting Systems and enhanced with the
addition of Kayalu
accessories, provides a unique opportunity for you
to secure your binoculars
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 harsh
environments including those exposed to
freshwater and saltwater.
The
binocular adaptor atop this mount is
compatible with all binoculars having a standard tripod-ready 1/4"-20 threaded
hole on the bridge. We add an EPDM rubber bushing on the adaptor's stud to
ensure a snug fit with your binoculars while protecting the bridge from
unnecessary scratches. This adaptor can be easily unscrewed from the mount
for
use on a standard tripod.
If the binocular adaptor is
unscrewed and removed, this versatile mount includes a second 1/4"-20 stud so
the entire mount can be used to host your video camera, digital camera,
speedlight or any other optical device accepting a standard tripod
screw.
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
binoculars to a comfortable viewing angle, and tightened
with a single
hand.
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 window, windshield, or other
non-
porous surface (glass, steel, fiberglass, enamel, plastic, etc.), can secure
binoculars weighing up to 2 lbs. (.9 kg).
The mount power-locks
its
vacuum grip to the surface through the action of a mechanical lever arm.
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 binocular 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.
