    Question Livescope mount?


    I recently lost a Livescope and when researching replacement parts, I came across this when I googled "Livescope mount"-



    It is made to hold bicycles, but it looks like it would do a good job holding a livescope pole. Probably stronger than a RAM mount, and only $36 delivered - Amazon.com

    Have any of you used one of these, or something similar?



    The only negative I see from the pics is that it's made of steel, not aluminum, but it looks very solid.

    I might order one, just to see how it works

    I’ve seen several pics where guys have used the bicycle holders for the livescope pole. Haven’t heard anything bad about using one.

    I have a bench top bicycle repair stand off of Amazon that works great. Mine is a lot shorter than yours though.

    "Works great" sounds good to me. Thanks for sharing your actual experience.

    There are a bunch of different ones. I ordered one slightly different than the one pictured above, as it had a better-looking clamp system. Like the one above, it telescopes up, if desired, but I doubt that I would use it in the tall configuration. Probably stronger when kept short.

    Looking forward to getting it tomorrow to see how it works in my configuration. If it works well, I might buy a 2nd one, so I have a base in each boat, since I move the Livescope from boat to boat. Lately, we've been taking the big center console, as it's easier to fish out of when the kids are all there.

    I looked it up & mine's a Venzo bench mount bicycle repair stand from amazon. I also made my livescope pole out of pvc.

    My brother and I both use these. Remove the caps and shorten the poles. Also, you can move the pieces around and make it smaller and more compact.

    Do you leave your FF in the mount when running?

    I made a mount to hold the head unit that folds down when i move & i swivel my pole back & around & lay it where the rod strap is on the drivers side of the deck. Works great.
