The quick release bite mount comprises a quick release coupler portion and a malleable overmold that allows a user to bite down on the mount when a user holds the mount with a mouth. The overmold part of the mount can be a material such as rubber, plastic, or gel based structure. The overmold has an outer ridge that can hang from teeth of a user, allowing the user to relax their jaw during use. The plastic part of the mount has a thin, flexible area that the rubber part is overmolded over. This adds stiffness to the malleable area, while still allowing it to flex. The mount is configured to mechanically couple with a camera (or camera housing). The camera can be coupled to the mount such the camera can capture images in an unobstructed field of view when the mount is gripped in the mouth of a user.
