RAILBLAZA MiniPort Kayak Track Mount Base for Rod Holders, Easy Installation with No Tools Required

Difficult to close lock and fix , and easily broken

I primarily use the Railbalaza MiniPort on kayaks and a micro skiff (Gheenoe Classic) to secure items like my paddle, stake out pole and push pole. The great thing about the MiniPort is it's small profile and the fact it requires a fraction of the space (vs. StarPort HD) on an accessory rail. In case you were wondering, the StarPort HD takes up a full 5" on a rail, where the MiniPort only needs a measly 1.5" to do its job. While the StarPort HD base itself is only 4" in length, those goofy wing nuts occupy an additional 1" underneath...preventing anything else from being mounted against the base and effectively making it a 5" base. While there's no denying the StarPort HD is incredibly stout compared to the MiniPort, it also has a problem mounting to rails like the YakAttack Mighty Mount XL...which I prefer b/c of it's incredible strength. The StarPort HD requires some fidgeting to get locked into place on the MightyMount and is certainly not quick attach / detach. On the other hand, removing the MiniPort rubber washser makes mounting + sliding far more workable. As others have mentioned, the MiniPort is probably not the best candidate for serving as a rod holder...where the StarPort HD is much more suited for this task. In my opinion, the MiniPort is a light duty base and insufficient for items like a rod holder + rod & reel. In fact, I'm not a huge fan of Railblaza's rod holders, only use Railblaza holders in a limited capacity and instead greatly prefer the Yakattack Omegas for their utility and strength. In addition, the Omega's base only takes up 2" on the rail, has an ingenious lock system and gets the reel up away from salt water splashing onto them. For my needs, I haven't found a better combo for securing, quickly deploying or transporting gear such as a paddle, stake out pole and push pole than the Railblaza MiniPort with 50mm G-Hold. Again, as others have mentioned, you need to double check the lock rings to make sure they are engaged before getting underway. Even then, I use redundant safety measure such as multiple MiniPort + G-Hold combos to make sure my gear doesn't fall out of my kayak or boat while on the water and the highway.

bonne qualité rien a dire le top

Used for fishing rod holders - they're fantastic, really hold well and grip well to the kayak rails. would buy again.

Da anni acquisto prodotti Raiblaza, non li cambierei con altri.

Exelente, adaptador necesario para los accesorios del kayak que no incluyen el miniport
