Mast camera mount for Flir M100/M200

The Scanstrut CAM-MM-02 camera mount is made of marine-grade aluminum. This material is then treated, typically via anodizing or powder coating, to enhance its resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and weathering, ensuring durability in a marine environment.

This mount is specifically designed to be compatible with Flir M100 and Flir M200 thermal cameras. It ensures perfect mechanical integration and secure mounting for these exact models.

Mounting at the masthead or on the main mast provides an unobstructed 360-degree field of view. This elevated position minimizes blind spots caused by the vessel's superstructures, sails, or other deck equipment, enabling better detection of obstacles and targets, especially useful in night navigation or low visibility conditions.

Yes, the Scanstrut CAM-MM-02 mount is specifically designed for the marine environment. It is made from corrosion-resistant materials (marine-grade aluminum) and UV-resistant, with a robust design that withstands vibrations, impacts, and harsh weather conditions encountered at sea.

The mount is designed to facilitate clean and secure cable management. It typically includes a system to route cables inside or along the mast discreetly and protected. This protects the cables from external elements and ensures an aesthetically pleasing installation.

Scanstrut mast mounts are generally designed to fit a specific range of mast diameters. It is important to consult the product technical documentation for exact specifications regarding compatible mast diameters. Adapters or shims may be provided for precise adjustment.

Yes, the robust design of the Scanstrut CAM-MM-02 mount, combined with secure mast mounting, ensures excellent camera stability. This stability is critical to maintain a clear and steady image, even in rough sea conditions.

No, this mount is specifically designed and optimized for Flir M100 and M200 thermal cameras. Its mounting system and dimensions are tailored to these exact models. Using it with other brands or models is not recommended and could compromise equipment safety and performance.

The Scanstrut CAM-MM-02 mast bracket requires minimal maintenance. Regular freshwater cleaning is recommended to remove accumulated salt and dirt. It is also advisable to periodically check the tightness of all fastenings to ensure they remain secure and to inspect the finish integrity.

While the installation manual provides detailed instructions, mounting on a mast can be complex and requires marine DIY skills, particularly for drilling the mast and managing the wiring. To ensure a safe, correct, and compliant installation with maritime standards, it is often advisable to consult a professional in marine rigging or electronics.

Yes, Scanstrut products are known for their functional and clean design. The CAM-MM-02 mount is designed to blend seamlessly with the mast's aesthetics, providing a discreet and professional mounting solution for your thermal camera without compromising the boat's overall appearance.

This mount is primarily designed for sailboat masts, where elevation is critical for an unobstructed field of view. However, it can be adapted to other types of masts or vertical structures on powerboats, provided the diameter and structural robustness are compatible with the mount's installation specifications.

The exact weight of the CAM-MM-02 mount may vary slightly, but Scanstrut mast mounts are designed to be robust while remaining relatively lightweight. This minimizes the impact on mast and boat stability. For the precise weight, consult the product’s official datasheet.

Yes, Scanstrut mounting brackets are finished in powder-coated or anodized treatments specifically designed to resist UV rays and discoloration. This ensures the bracket maintains its professional appearance and protection against marine elements over the long term, even after prolonged sun exposure.

Installation can often be completed with the mast stepped, provided there is secure and stable access to the desired mounting height (e.g., via a harness, cherry picker, or mast chair). However, for easier and safer installation—especially if complex mast or wiring work is required—unstepping the mast may be considered.

The mount is typically supplied with the main body of the mount and the mast mounting kit (including screws, nuts, washers, etc.). A detailed installation manual is also included. The tools required for installation and the FLIR M100/M200 thermal camera are not included and must be purchased separately.
