It keeps the remote in an easy-to-reach location and ensures the unit has a full battery and is ready-to-use. With a charging time from 0% to 100% in less than an hour, the Cradle is perfect for frequent users. It can be mounted anywhere inside or out, like on the flybridge, and it can be used to charge cell phones as well. This gives users incredible savings, both in cost and helm space, as the Cradle only takes up about 3-inches by 8-inches of surface mounting space for a tidier bridge station.ĭeveloped specially by Scanstrut to accommodate the Dockmate remote, the Cradle is also waterproof (IPX6), UV-resistant, and has an anodized aluminum chassis. The true innovation is that by taking the remote out of its Cradle, users immediately have the flexibility of a wireless remote control.

Once the Twist joystick remote is placed in the Cradle, it can be used just like any other third-party joystick docking system. The combination of the Dockmate Twist joystick remote and the new Dockmate Cradle enables a cutting-edge feature: Fixed Joystick Mode. With the new Dockmate Cradle fixed-mount, wireless charging pad, users no longer have to choose between a fixed joystick or a remote control. The next generation of Dockmate remotes also gain the advanced functionality of a new vibration response, which means that they now have three types of feedback: visual (LEDs), audible (buzzer) and tactile (vibration), for added safety and a more intuitive user experience. Key innovations in the upgraded hardware are an easier-to-use interface for the Twin touch pad remote control and added wireless charging capability.
