A hand-held imaging device mount for mounting an imaging device, the mount comprising:
- a handle configured to be held by a user;
- a base connected to the handle;
- an arm movably secured to the base such that the arm can be rotated relative to the handle and secured in place;
- and
- a mount head movably secured to the arm such that the mount head can be moved relative to the arm and secured in place, the mount head configured to mount an imaging device, wherein
- the imaging device mount permits an imaging device mounted to the mount head to be adjusted with multiple degrees of freedom relative to the handle.
A hand-held imaging device mount for mounting an imaging device, the mount comprising:
- a handle configured to be held by a user;
- an arm extending from the handle, the arm comprising a plurality of extending segments;
- and
- a mount head movably secured to the arm such that the mount head can be moved relative to the arm and secured in place, the mount head configured to mount an imaging device, wherein
- the plurality of extending segments may be extended relative to each other and secured in place.
A method for mounting an imaging device to a mount, the mount comprising
- a handle configured to be held by a user,
- a base connected to the handle,
- an arm movably secured to the base such that the arm can be rotated relative to the handle and secured in place, and
- a mount head movably secured to the arm such that the mount head can be moved relative to the arm and secured in place, the mount head configured to mount an imaging device,
- the method comprising:
- mounting an imaging device to a mount;
- adjusting the position of the imaging device in a first direction by adjusting the position of the arm relative to the base;
- adjusting the position of the imaging device in a second direction that is different from the first position by adjusting the position of the mount head relative to the arm;
- and
- locking the imaging device in place.
