Abstract
An attachable foot assembly designed to be attached to a lower portion of a camera tripod stand leg is provided. The bottom surface of the foot attachment is interchangeable and is chosen depending on the environment in which the tripod is to be used. For example, if the tripod is to be used for lateral movement upon a smooth ground surface (e.g., carpeted floors, hardwood floors, tiled surfaces, natural grass, AstroTurf, etc.), the bottom surface of the foot attachments may be chosen to be wide, convex, and smooth to enable the tripod to smoothly slide laterally upon the surface. In addition, the attachable foot assembly includes a rotatable mount enabling the attachment to fit upon tripod legs at various angles and to move over uneven surfaces.
Claims20
An attachable foot assembly comprising:
- an attachment housing including an elongate member with a first end, a second end, and sidewalls extending between the first end to the second end and defining an inner volume, the first end being open and in communication with the inner volume;
- a rotational mount coupled to the second end;
- a rotatable member rotatably coupled to the rotational mount;
- an attachable foot member including concave sidewalls and a smooth bottom surface and a top side including a first diameter and a bottom side including a second diameter, the first diameter greater than the second diameter, the attachable foot member releasably attached to the rotational mount.
An attachable foot assembly comprising:
- an attachment housing including an elongate member with a first end, a second end, and sidewalls extending between the first end to the second end and defining an inner volume, the first end being open and in communication with the inner volume;
- a rotational mount coupled to the second end;
- a rotatable member rotatably coupled to the rotational mount and including a first circular disc with first disc dimensions;
- an attachable foot member releasably attached to the rotational mount and including a topside cavity with cavity dimensions that correspond to the first disc dimensions and adapted to receive and removably secure at least a portion of the rotatable member;
- wherein the rotational mount includes a ball member, and the topside cavity includes a bottom surface, and the bottom surface includes a ball member cavity adapted to accommodate at least a portion of the ball member;
- wherein the attachable foot member includes concave sidewalls and a smooth bottom surface.
