Attachment for smartphone and tablet
Thanks to waterproof cases with an additional battery, mobile phones are also useful when sailing - but only with a good holder

The Rokk mini holder from Scanstrut is very versatile. If the locking mechanism is opened by turning the white lock, the body can be moved to almost any position. Once locked, the holder remains in exactly the specified position. If the device is not needed in the cockpit, the holder can be detached from the mounting plate with a flick of the wrist.

The mounting plate is also available in various versions: for screwing to a surface, for fastening to a pipe, with rubber bands or with adhesive pads, without having to drill holes. This wealth of variants also continues with the holders for devices. There are suitable mounting options for smartphones and tablets as well as cameras and a Raymarine display.

With the variety of combinable parts, the price is also very variable. The adjustable base, the centrepiece of the Rokk Mini, costs 44 euros. The mounting plate for screwing costs 17 euros, the one for tube mounting 28 euros, and 20 euros each for mounting with rubber bands and the version for gluing. The mounting adapter for smartphones costs 20 euros, the one for tablets 28 euros, and the mounts for cameras and the Raymarine display cost 17 euros each.

Redakteur Test & Technik

Michael Rinck war das Kind, das nach der Schule direkt aufs Wasser wollte – Segeltraining, Regatten, Hauptsache nass. Diese Vorliebe machte er zum Beruf: Erst als Segellehrer auf der Alster (während des Studiums), dann ab 2014 in der YACHT-Redaktion. Dort hat er im Bereich Test & Technik seine Berufung gefunden: Segelboote und Sicherheitsequipment testen. Was besonders bei Rettungswesten und MOB-Systemen bedeutet, dass er mehr Arbeitsstunden im Wasser treibend verbringt als die meisten Menschen im Büro sitzend. Höhepunkt: eine ganze Nacht in der Rettungsinsel auf der Ostsee. Seine Familie hat inzwischen durchgesetzt, dass Urlaubstörns auf der eigenen Fahrtenyacht deutlich trockener ablaufen.
