Scanstrut Camera Mast Mount f/FLIR M100/M200

The Scanstrut Camera Mast Mount for FLIR M100/M200 is purpose-built for serious boat operators and marine professionals who demand reliable thermal imaging integration on the water. Whether you're running a commercial fishing vessel, conducting maritime surveillance, or piloting a multi-engine cruiser, mounting a thermal camera at mast height delivers unobstructed sightlines and stabilized footage even in rough seas. This dedicated mount solves the challenge of positioning premium thermal optics where they perform best—elevated, secure, and free from hull vibration interference.

Scanstrut engineered this mount to withstand marine service conditions, featuring robust construction that isolates the FLIR M100 or M200 thermal camera from wind load and vessel motion. The mast-mounted design minimizes electrical cable runs compared to deck-level alternatives, reducing signal degradation and simplifying installation on existing hardtop or tower systems. At 3.6 pounds, the mount adds minimal topside weight while maintaining the structural rigidity required for camera stability during high-speed operations and heavy weather. The compact footprint—8 by 5 by 11 inches—allows seamless integration into tight rigging layouts without interfering with antenna arrays or other navigation equipment.

Professional mariners, search-and-rescue teams, and coastal security operators benefit most from elevated thermal imaging, where thermal signatures of vessels and personnel become visible far beyond daylight camera range. Installation on aluminum or fiberglass masts requires basic fastening hardware and electrical connector management—tasks that benefit from professional rigging expertise on larger vessels. This mount is engineered exclusively for FLIR M-series thermal cameras, ensuring precise alignment and vibration isolation tuned to those specific sensor weights and balance points. Verify your mast diameter and composition before ordering to confirm compatible bracketing options.
