Camera mount

The Scanstrut RL-511 is mounted using a 1/4" - 20 UNC screw directly onto a compatible camera or camcorder. To install it on your boat, it is designed to be used with the RLS-AM adjustable body and the RLS-401 surface mount from the ROKK range. These components allow for secure mounting on any marine surface. Ensure the maximum load of 1.2 kg in dynamic conditions (accelerations up to 6 g) is not exceeded.

The Scanstrut RL-511 uses a standard 1/4" - 20 UNC screw. This is the most common thread for cameras and camcorders, ensuring universal compatibility with the vast majority of photographic equipment on the market, including action cameras, bridge cameras, and DSLRs.

The maximum load of the Scanstrut RL-511 is 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs) in dynamic environments, where accelerations up to 6 g can occur. This limit must be respected to ensure the safety of your equipment, especially in marine conditions with boat movements. For heavier devices, a reinforced support from the Scanstrut range should be considered.

Yes, the Scanstrut RL-511 is compatible with GoPro cameras, provided you use a standard tripod adapter (sold separately). The 1/4" - 20 UNC screw on the RL-511 matches the GoPro adapter thread. Ensure the total weight of the camera and its housing does not exceed 1.2 kg, which is easily the case for a GoPro.

The Scanstrut RL-511 is a mounting plate that screws directly onto the camera via the 1/4" - 20 UNC screw. For mounting on the boat, it is designed to be used with the RLS-AM adjustable body and the RLS-401 surface mount from the ROKK range, sold separately. These components provide the necessary fittings for a secure marine installation.

Yes, the Scanstrut RL-511 can be used with a standard tripod as it is equipped with a 1/4" - 20 UNC thread that fits most tripod heads. However, its primary use is mounting on a ROKK system for marine applications. If used on a tripod, ensure the total weight does not exceed 1.2 kg.

The Scanstrut RL-511 is a marine product from the Scanstrut brand, distributed by Tecmar. It is designed to withstand marine environments, including salt water. However, like all nautical equipment, it is recommended to rinse it with fresh water after use and dry it to prevent corrosion. Its metal construction is robust, but regular maintenance extends its lifespan.

Yes, the Scanstrut RL-511 is part of the ROKK Mini Top Plate family. It is specifically designed to integrate with this modular mounting system. It can be used with the RLS-AM adjustable body and the RLS-401 surface mount to create a complete and discreet installation on your boat.

The Scanstrut RL-511 is recommended for compact cameras, lightweight bridges, action cameras such as GoPros, and entry-level DSLRs with lightweight lenses. The maximum load of 1.2 kg in dynamic environments limits its use for heavy professional equipment. For heavier devices, explore Scanstrut reinforced mounts.

The Scanstrut RL-511 is designed for cameras with a 1/4" - 20 UNC thread. To mount a smartphone, you will need a phone tripod adapter (sold separately) that screws onto the mount. Ensure the total weight of the phone and adapter does not exceed 1.2 kg. This setup is practical for using your phone as a navigation camera.
