Hi guys
I'm the owner of Dive Diversions and produce the rail system.
I've had a couple of requests around if the rail system will work on the Seacraft Go scooter and I'm currently looking at the compatibility.
Unfortunately, I don't have physical access to a Go so I'm having to rely on images to work out if it will work.
There are two issues I see for mounting the rail system on work on the Go:
1. The scooters front tube part has a slight chamfer towards the front of the body (the two lines in the image below) meaning the circumference is smaller at the front then at the back where the two rail end plates would mount.
2. The rib/ridge at the top and bottom (circled in the image below) of the body would interfere with it the front rail end plate sitting flush with the body of the scooter and tightening the band would likely break the slot for the band in the mount when it pulls in.
The combination of these two issues mean that the front rail end mount won't really work well without something to pad out under the band at the front part of the tube.
So I'm looking at designing up some inserts that will go under the front band to pad it out and allow the correct fitting of the mount.
I was also thinking that I could do something that would replace the supplied handle/foot attachment so that large cameras can be attached and be un-obstructed by the handle as it may obstruct cameras with dome ports.
I may also be persuaded to do one of my action cam mounts with the ball mounts for lights and floats for the go as well, if there would be enough interest.
What I need to do this though is some accurate measurements of the tube (If possible, measurements in millimeters please), specifically three measurements:
1. Circumference of the back part of the scooter.
2. Circumference of the front tube at a measured distance from the join of the front and back tubes.
3. the measurement between the two circumference measurements.
* Circumference being the measurement around the tube, as opposed to the width of the tube.
Refer to image below
As an extra, if you could also give me a measurement for what would seem to be the total usable length of the scooter body, I might look at doing longer rails specifically for the Go to get that little bit more length then what the 200mm rails will provide.
Also, the current 200mm rails are actually 210mm long.
Also, any feedback or suggestions on current design or for future options/products is welcomed.
