Accessorizing STEADY STICK®
Whether its Do It Yourself (DIY) or retail accessories, kayak anglers enjoy customizing their rigs. Accessorizing fishing kayaks exercises the skill of creative thinking, about what may enhance the on-water adventure. After all, its creative thinking that led to inventing STEADY STICK®.
While STEADY STICK®'s primary functionality is providing balance assist when standing in select fishing kayaks, we are also kayak fishing enthusiasts too, and enjoy accessorizing!
We engineered STEADY STICK® with secondary functionality to make the standing experience the best it can be. Our handle and aluminum extending pole can receive a variety of retail products we'll explore further in this blog.
How To Enable Accessorizing the Steady Stick® Handle
Pictured below is a top-down view of our balance assist pole where we integrated a removable 1/4"-20 threaded insert adaptor within the handle.
Each STEADY STICK® also includes a longer 1/4"-20 x 1.5" threaded stud as some accessories may require a longer stud. Note: To switch out the pre-installed 1/4"-20 adaptor simply slide the rubber handle off and unscrew it.
Next, let's explore various examples below. Some accessories showcased below we sell directly on our website, while others we don't, but like them so much we recommend you check them out!
Action Cameras
While there are so many great camera mount products already on the market, if interested in a different perspective you can also use the STEADY STICK® handle.
You'll simply need your favorite action camera and corresponding camera mount connector that accepts a 1/4"-20 stud.
Phone Holder Example (Quad Lock Case and Mount)
Quad Lock's variety of cycle mounts easily fit either our lower handle or the plastic bushing of the balance assist pole, and allows ones preference of vertical or horizontal phone positioning.
If you are someone who prefers to video record with a phone instead of an action camera this is a highly recommended setup. Checkout the pictures below of it set up in various ways with our product.
