Exterior Installed Camera Pod Stabilization Assembly

Abstract

A camera pod stabilization assembly is provided that includes an intermediate attachment that includes a first end and a second end, a camera arm that is pivotably coupled to the intermediate attachment at the first end via a first pin to form a first axis, and a base that is pivotably coupled to the intermediate attachment at the second end via a second pin to form a second axis. The camera arm is pivotable about the first axis from a first position to a second position between zero degrees and ninety degrees. The camera arm is pivotable about the second axis from the first position to a third position between zero degrees and ninety degrees. A support surface extends from the base, a bracing member extends from the first end of the intermediate attachment, and the support surface and the bracing member cooperate and engage to assist in a transfer of forces from the camera arm to the base when the camera arm is rotated about the first axis from the first position to the second position
