Abstract
A mount for photographic devices including smart phones, tablets, digital cameras has a mount frame and pivoting mount arm, powerful magnets on the mount frame for attachment of the mount to ferrous surfaces or structures, and an attachment device on the mount arm configured for attachment to a photographic device. The mount frame may be otherwise mechanically attached to any support structure, and a photographic device may be in a position or orientation relative to the mount arm. Compressible friction pads are provided on surfaces of the mount frame and mount arm.
Claims27
A mount comprising:
- a mount frame having a generally planar base and first and second parallel and spaced apart side walls which extend from the base;
- at least one magnet attached to the generally planar base of the mount frame;
- a mount arm attached to the mount frame, the mount arm having a generally planar section which fits between the first and second side walls of the mount base and a first end and a second end;
- a pivot located proximate to the first end of the mount arm and attached to the mount frame for pivotal movement of the mount arm relative to the mount frame;
- an attachment device located proximate to the second end of the mount arm, the attachment device configured for attachment to a device.

A mount for a photographic device, the mount comprising:
- a generally cubic mount frame having a generally planar base, first and second parallel and spaced apart side walls which extend from a common side of the planar base, and an end wall which extends from the common side of the planar base and intersects with the side walls;
- and a pivot end between the side walls and generally opposite the end wall;
- a mount arm pivotally mounted to the mount base, the mount arm having a first end located proximate to the pivot end of the mount frame, a pivot engaged with the first end of the mount arm and the pivot end of the mount frame, the mount arm being pivotable about the pivot to extend from the mount frame or to a position generally parallel to the mount frame, the mount arm having an attachment end generally distal from the pivot, and an attachment device on the mount arm configured for attachment to a photographic device;
- the mount frame configured for connection to a support structure to support the mount and a photographic device attached to the mount.
