Abstract
Devices and methods disclosed herein can include an accessory mount having a first clamp and a second clamp each configured to grip an elongate member. The first clamp and the second clamp can include an open configuration and a clamped configuration. In the open configuration, a respective first end is disengaged from a respective second end for receiving the elongate member. In the clamped configuration, the first end and the second end are moved to grip the elongate member. A first portion of the elongate bridge can be coupled to the first clamp and a second portion of the elongate bridge can be coupled to the second clamp. An accessory interface can be coupled to the elongate bridge. The accessory can be positionable along the elongate bridge for alignment along the longitudinal direction of the elongate member.
Claims21
An accessory mount, comprising:
- a first clamp and a second clamp each configured to grip an elongate member, wherein the first clamp and the second clamp include an open configuration and a clamped configuration including:
- in the open configuration, a respective first end is disengaged from a respective second end for receiving the elongate member between the respective first end and the respective second end, and
- in the clamped configuration, the respective first end and the respective second end are moved to grip the elongate member;
- an elongate bridge including a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is coupled to the first clamp and the second portion is coupled to the second clamp;
- and
- an accessory interface coupled to the elongate bridge, wherein the accessory interface includes mating features configured to couple an accessory to the elongate bridge, and wherein the accessory is positionable along the elongate bridge for alignment along a longitudinal direction of the elongate member.
An action camera mount, comprising:
- a first strap and a second strap each configured to grip a rope, wherein the first strap and the second strap include an open configuration and a clamped configuration including:
- in the open configuration, a respective first end is disengaged from a respective second end, and
- in the clamped configuration, the respective first end and the respective second end are coupled and arranged in a loop to grip the rope;
- an elongate bridge including a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is coupled to the first strap and the second portion is coupled to the second strap;
- and
- an accessory interface coupled to the elongate bridge, wherein the accessory interface includes mating features configured to fasten an action camera to the elongate bridge, and wherein the action camera is positionable with respect to the elongate bridge for alignment along a longitudinal direction of the rope.
An action camera mount, comprising:
- a first clamp means and a second clamp means each configured to grip an elongate member, wherein the first clamp means and the second clamp means are positionable between an open configuration and a clamped configuration including:
- in the open configuration, the first clamp means and the second clamp means are adapted for locating the action camera along the elongate member, and
- in the clamped configuration, the first clamp means and the second clamp means are adapted to grip the elongate member:
- an elongate bridge means including a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion includes a means for coupling to the first strap and the second portion includes a means for coupling to the second strap;
- and
- an accessory interface coupled to the elongate bridge, wherein the accessory interface includes a means for fastening an action camera to the elongate bridge, and wherein the action camera is positionable for alignment along a longitudinal direction of the elongate member.
