Firm hold for the camera
Rollei presents a range of professional mounts for action cams. The robust design predestines the clamps for on-board use

Hell Rider, Pro Shark Mount and M1 suction cup - the names of Rollei's mounting systems don't sound particularly maritime. Thanks to their robust design, however, they are well suited for use on board. The Hell Rider mount is based on an aluminium link chain and can be clamped around tubes with a diameter of 24 to 42 millimetres. According to Rollei, the mount can withstand loads of several hundred kilograms.

The Pro Shark Mount clamp covers an even larger range of 25 to 65 millimetres. The M1 suction cup is recommended for smooth surfaces. It is designed to hold the camera securely in place at speeds of up to 300 kilometres per hour. That should be enough even for very bad weather. All three models have a 360-degree ball head system for easy alignment of the camera and are compatible with standard models from Gopro, Rollei and many other manufacturers. The colours available are black, red, orange or blue. The prices are just under 100 euros.
