Abstract
A camera mount assembly for mounting a camera on vertically spaced rails of a platform secured to and adapted to be elevated by aerial lift equipment, said assembly comprising support means including generally horizontal cantilevered sections extending outwardly from or inwardly of a first rail of the platform for supporting a camera, and vertically extending sections extending downwardly adjacent a second, lower rail of the platform. The assembly includes a latch member for engaging the upper rail and a member for engaging the lower rail, so that weight loading on the assembly is transferred to both the upper and lower rails. The assembly can be quickly and easily mounted on or removed from the rails.

A camera mount assembly for mounting a camera on vertically spaced rails of a platform or the like, comprising:
- camera support means including a generally horizontal cantilevered section adapted to extend laterally of a first rail of the platform for supporting a camera, and a vertically extending section adapted to extend downwardly adjacent a second, lower rail of the platform,
- means associated with said support means for engaging said first rail in a direction such that a portion of weight load of the camera on the cantilevered section is transferred to said first rail,
- means associated with said vertically extending section for engaging said lower rail in a direction such that a portion of weight load of the camera is also transferred to the lower rail, and
- latch means attached to said means engaging said lower rail, said latch means when actuated being adapted to engage said lower rail for clamping said vertically extending section to said lower rail.
