Dog Leg Mirror

Product Overview

Variable-height “dog-leg” style convex mirror mounted on wheeled base — designed for marine and security applications.
300 mm diameter convex mirror, mounted on a rod with adjustable length (90-120 cm) and supplied with a storage bag.
Ideal for use in anti-piracy, surveillance, deck visibility and monitoring blind spots on vessels or offshore installations.

Key Features

Large convex mirror (300 mm diameter): Provides wide-angle view for monitoring around corners, bulkheads or obstructions.
Adjustable rod length (90-120 cm): Enables deployment at different vantage heights/angles depending on operational needs.
Wheeled base: Facilitates mobility—can be rolled into position quickly (e.g., corridor, deck) and moved as needed.
Storage bag included: Compact transport & containment when stowed, protects mirror during transit.
Marine-ready specification: Built for shipboard use under anti-piracy/security categories.

Benefits of Use

Enables quick deployment of a visual-monitoring tool with minimal infrastructure modifications.
Enhances situational awareness in vulnerable zones (e.g., gangways, blind corners, mooring deck) by giving a wide field of view.
Complements existing onboard surveillance or lookout systems—serves as an auxiliary passive device.
Easy to reposition and store; convenient for operations requiring flexible coverage (e.g., underway, at anchor, in harbor).
Cost-effective added layer of visual deterrence and monitoring without heavy electronics or permanent installation.

Technical Specifications

Mirror diameter: 300 mm.
Rod length: 90 cm to 120 cm (adjustable).
Base: Wheeled (for mobility).
Included: Storage bag for the unit.
Intended use: Marine/shipboard anti-piracy / security deployment.

Suitable Applications

Onboard merchant vessels, offshore platforms and ships navigating high-risk areas where visual surveillance of ship exterior and boarding zones is critical.
Cargo vessels, tankers, container ships where blind spots near deck edges or gangways need monitoring.
Ports or harbour areas where portable mirror units may assist temporary security/vision cover.
Any scenario where a mobile, adjustable mirror system is beneficial for situational awareness rather than fixed installation.

Additional Notes & Advice

For maximum deterrence effect, consider combining with proper lighting, signage and strategic placement to enhance visual coverage of blind spots.

Should be used in addition to standard visual surveillance, watch-keeping and anti-boarding systems—this mirror is a supplementary tool.

To maximise utility: place the mirror in a high-traffic or vulnerable zone (e.g., near gangway, bow “dog-leg” area, deck corner) and adjust rod height/angle for optimal coverage.

When not in immediate use, store the unit in its bag to protect the mirror surface from knocks, corrosion or degradation in the marine environment.

Regularly inspect the wheels and base to ensure mobility remains unobstructed and the mirror remains clean for optimum image clarity.
