We’ve all experienced that jolting shock of surprise that comes from unexpectedly being surprised when a car sneaks into your blind spot. No notice, no indication, but rather a too-close-for-comfort close call. You’re driving down the highway now in your weekday commuter car, your lifted work pickup truck, or your work van, but blind spots are never an invited friend. What if you could lower the threat so simply?

That’s where a Blind Spot Mount comes in. Designed for every-day driving, FRDM FABs’ Blind Spot Mount has the capability of opening your eyes and reducing your accident rate—before it happens.

Take a closer look at how this ground-breaking, space-saving technology will revolutionize your driving experience and make you a safer driver.

The Problem: Poor Visibility = Severe Risk

Blind spots are not only annoying—blind spots are a leading cause of side-swipe collisions. Crash statistics, due to blind spots, accumulate to estimated thousands of injuries annually by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). When merging onto the highway, reversing, or crossing the lanes, reduced visibility can very quickly turn into an emergency.

Large trucks, work vehicles, and off-road machinery are particularly taken advantage of by their height and length. Side mirrors can only do so much, and most factory-installed gear simply can’t keep up.

The Solution: A Better Line of Sight

The Blind Spot Mount is designed to plug the visibility gap. Used in conjunction with a camera or mirror, it offers a broader and lower-angle perspective of your vehicle’s sides—exactly where stock mirrors fall short.

The FF-BSM001 Blind Spot Mount by FRDM FABs allows you to place cameras at the optimal angle to catch whatever is out of view otherwise. From motorcycles and compact cars to sidewalks, pedestrians, or even your kid’s bike—this month sees it all.

How the FF-BSM001 Works

This is not some other piece of equipment. The FF-BSM001 is carefully crafted out of light aluminum and is designed to fit securely on most truck and SUV frames. It’s rugged, aerodynamic, and easy to install on aftermarket bumper systems or custom rigs.

Key Features:

• Multiple Mounting Points for changing your line of sight
• Rugged Aluminum Construction to be able to withstand off-road or worksite wear and tear
• Corrosion-Resistant Coating to get it to last in the long term
• Clean Aesthetic Design that’ll complement your rig

By adding the optional wide-angle camera through the mount, drivers can route the feed to a dashboard display or rearview mirror monitor. The outcome? Greater situational awareness, improved decision-making, and a whole lot fewer surprises on the road.

Real-World Applications

Whether you’re navigating a tight parking lot, changing lanes on the interstate, or pulling a trailer, the visibility boost from a blind spot mount makes a big difference. Here’s how:

1. Safer Lane Changes

Fast lane changes on highways or busy roads become easier and safer. No more second-guessing or double-checking shoulder angles for oncoming traffic.

2. Enhanced Towing Awareness

Camper, boat, or equipment towing? Blind spots increase with tow length. A side-mounted camera system through the FF-BSM001 gives you unobstructed views along your trailer side, preventing trailer-swing collisions.

3. Off-Road and Trail Use

Creeping over rocks or down narrow trails? Identifying terrain and avoiding roadblocks is made simpler by real-time visual feedback from your side-mounted side-view system.

4. Urban Driving and Parking

City driving is a nightmare as it is. With The Blind Spot Mount, narrow corner driving, bikes, or pedestrians become less stressful and more precise.

Why FRDM FABs Built It Better

FRDM FABs aren’t gimmicks. They build stuff for real human beings who drive their trucks to get the job done, have some fun, and all the stuff in between. The Blind Spot Mount is that vision expressed with emphasis on safety, ruggedness, and stunning design.

Like everything they make, FRDM FABs brings American ingenuity with intent to the world. Every mount is designed to endure and function in real-world environments—construction sites, off-road recreation areas, or cross-country transport.
