Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for a magnetic stand mount. An apparatus includes a magnetic stand mount plate comprising a first at least one magnet, the magnetic stand mount plate configured to be coupled to an object. The apparatus includes a magnetic stand mount base comprising a second at least one magnet and configured to be coupled to a stand. The magnetic stand mount plate is selectively coupled to the magnetic stand mount base by magnetic attraction between the first at least one magnet and the second at least one magnet to secure the object to the stand.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- a magnetic stand mount plate comprising a first at least one magnet, the magnetic stand mount plate configured to be coupled to an object;
- and
- a magnetic stand mount base comprising a second at least one magnet and configured to be coupled to a stand,
- wherein the magnetic stand mount plate is selectively coupled to the magnetic stand mount base by magnetic attraction between the first at least one magnet and the second at least one magnet to secure the object to the stand, and
- wherein the magnetic stand mount base comprises a protruding member that is configured to fit into a slot on the magnetic stand mount plate to secure the magnetic stand mount plate to the magnetic stand mount base, and wherein the protruding member is coupled to a release that is actuated to free the protruding member from the slot, and wherein the release further comprises a securing member that secures the release to the magnetic stand mount base.
A system comprising:
- a magnetic stand mount plate comprising a first at least one magnet, the magnetic stand mount plate configured to be coupled to an object;
- and
- a panhead comprising a second at least one magnet;
- and
- wherein the magnetic stand mount plate is selectively coupled to the panhead by magnetic attraction between the first at least one magnet and the second at least one magnet to secure the object to the panhead, and
- wherein the panhead comprises a protruding member that is configured to fit into a slot on the magnetic stand mount plate to secure the magnetic stand mount plate to the panhead, and wherein the protruding member is coupled to a release that is actuated to free the protruding member from the slot, and wherein the release further comprises a securing member that secures the release to the panhead.
A method, comprising:
- providing a magnetic stand mount plate comprising a first at least one magnet, the magnetic stand mount plate configured to be coupled to an object;
- providing a magnetic stand mount base comprising a second at least one magnet and configured to be coupled to a stand;
- and
- coupling the magnetic stand mount plate to the magnetic stand mount base,
- wherein the magnetic stand mount base comprises a protruding member that is configured to fit into a slot on the magnetic stand mount plate to secure the magnetic stand mount plate to the magnetic stand mount base, and wherein the protruding member is coupled to a release that is actuated to free the protruding member from the slot, and wherein the release further comprises a securing member that secures the release to the magnetic stand mount base.
