Anti-glare apparatus and protector against inclement weather, wearable camera for action cameras and other photographic devices

A method for supporting and using a body worn action camera during physical activity of a user comprising the steps of:

• mounting and extending an arm of a telescoping member on and from an article worn on the head of said user;
• attaching a proximal end of said arm of said telescoping member to said article;
• attaching said camera to a distal end of said arm;
• said arm comprising a first tube threadedly attached at a first end thereof to said article and a second end thereof adjustably attached to one leg of an elbow, and a second tube having a first end thereof adjustably attached to a second leg of said elbow;
• mounting a clamp on a second, free end of said second tube;
• providing said clamp with a base and a pair of spaced side walls extending up from opposite ends of said base, and configuring said clamp to support between said side walls said camera with a viewing screen thereof facing said article whereby said user has a clear view of said screen, said screen displaying an area being captured by said camera;
• placing a truncated, pyramidal shroud enclosure around said viewing screen of said camera, said shroud enclosure having flared top, bottom and side walls shielding said viewing screen from direct sun glare, so that there is a shaded space between the eyes of the user and the viewing screen of said camera;
• and
• said user engaging in a sports activity while wearing said action camera, watching said screen in real time, and adjusting the position of said action camera while in motion.

An apparatus for supporting and using a body worn action camera during physical activity of a user comprising:

• a telescoping member mounted on and extending from an article adapted to be worn on the head of said user;
• said telescoping member comprising an arm having a proximal end thereof attached to said article, and a distal end on which said camera is attached;
• said arm comprising a cantilevered extension attached at a first end to said article and a second end adjustably attached a clamp mounted on a second, free end of said cantilevered extension;
• said clamp configured to support said camera with a viewing screen thereof facing said article whereby said user has a clear view of said screen, said screen displaying an area being captured by said camera;
• and
• a longitudinally and axially extending opaque hollow enclosure surrounding said viewing screen of said camera having flared top, bottom and side walls shielding said viewing screen from direct sun glare, so that there is a shaded space between the eyes of the user and the viewing screen of said camera;
• whereby an eyeball of the user, in combination with said wearable action camera, and said display screen of said wearable action camera jointly and simultaneously move, see, and record in any direction together.
