Livescope mount?

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

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/...AC_SL1498_.jpg

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.

Here’s the d I y mount for the head unit & you can see the bench top bicycle repair stand I used for a pvc pole holder. When moving I just stop transmitting swing pole onto deck & lay the head unit mount down. I added a tennis ball as a bounce buster on the tee of the mount & it never budges. I can measure & get a better pic of the pole when I get home from work if needed. It’s 1” pvc inside another piece of 1&1/4” pvc. I added an elbow a a directional indicator to the top of mine so you know which way it’s pointing. Painted pole black & left top of elbow unpainted side it’s easy to see.

That’s the directional indicator

I would like to see that if possible. I need some ideas. I'm setting up a new boat. I would like to have a handy solution. I have a Bass Tracker pro 17. I'm moving the front seat closer to the bow. I have better luck when I'm closer to the front.

I'm close to the front sitting in my portable bench seat stand that i mounted two comfortable fishing seats to. I'll try to remember to get measurements for the pole tomorrow if you need it. The bike repair stand you see mounted to the front deck where you see the piece of white pvc rotates 360* & the end mounted to the deck does too which allows it to swing up above the side of the boat & lay on the deck with only the part with the handle/ directional indicator sticking up above the deck where it's in the stand clamp. I've had several want to look at it on the water so evidently somebody else likes it too. :Rofl Anything else let me know. :ThumbsUp

I'll get a better pic or video of the mount tomorrow. Was simple to make with a piece of pipe & some left over scrap at work. Another thing you might want to check out on youtube is livescope mounts that folks are making from kids scooters.
