Claims19
An adjustable camera mount comprising:
- an attachment portion with a cover member having an attachment surface defining an attachment plane;
- a body portion having a body surface positioned proximate the attachment surface, a joint, and a shaft extending from the joint to a distal end;
- a clamping portion mounted on the shaft and rotatable around the entire circumference of the shaft in a clamping plane normal to the axial direction of the shaft, and having a mounting connection defining a mounting plane normal to the clamping plane;
- wherein the attachment portion further comprises a threaded post passing through an opening in the cover member and being received within a threaded opening on the body surface.
An adjustable camera mount comprising:
- an attachment portion with a cover member having an attachment surface defining an attachment plane;
- a body portion having a body surface positioned proximate the attachment surface, a joint, and a shaft extending from the joint to a distal end;
- a clamping portion mounted on the shaft and rotatable around the entire circumference of the shaft in a clamping plane normal to the axial direction of the shaft, and having a mounting connection defining a mounting plane normal to the clamping plane;
- wherein the attachment portion further comprises a bracket having a first end with a first opening passing therethrough received between the cover member attachments surface and the body surface and a second end with a second opening passing therethrough.
An adjustable camera mount comprising:
- an attachment portion with a cover member having an attachment surface defining an attachment plane;
- a body portion having a body surface positioned proximate the attachment surface, a joint, and a shaft extending from the joint to a distal end;
- a clamping portion mounted on the shaft and rotatable around the entire circumference of the shaft in a clamping plane normal to the axial direction of the shaft, and having a mounting connection defining a mounting plane normal to the clamping plane;
- wherein the body surface is a base of a turret and has a threaded vertical opening therein.
An adjustable camera mount comprising:
- an attachment portion with a cover member having an attachment surface defining an attachment plane;
- a body portion having a body surface positioned proximate the attachment surface, a joint, and a shaft extending from the joint to a distal end;
- a clamping portion mounted on the shaft and rotatable around the entire circumference of the shaft in a clamping plane normal to the axial direction of the shaft, and having a mounting connection defining a mounting plane normal to the clamping plane;
- wherein the clamping portion has an opening between two legs to receive the shaft and a fastener connecting the two legs that is tightened to fix the position of the clamping portion on the shaft.
In combination, a compound archery bow and a camera attached to said archery bow by an adjustable camera mount comprising a cover member having an attachment surface defining an attachment plane and an opening therein passing through the cover member, a threaded fastener passing through the opening in the cover member;
- a first end of said threaded fastener being received within a threaded opening of a body portion of the adjustable camera mount, said body portion further comprising an articulated joint and a shaft extending from the joint to a distal end;
- a clamping portion mounted on the shaft and rotatable around the entire circumference of the shaft in a clamping plane normal to the axial direction of the shaft, and having a mounting surface defining a mounting plane normal to the clamping plane.
An adjustable camera mount comprising a threaded fastener, a cover member having an attachment surface defining an attachment plane and an unthreaded opening passing through the attachment surface and the cover member, a turret member having a bottom surface positioned proximate and parallel to the attachment surface and fully rotatable with respect thereto, said bottom surface having a threaded opening therein, said turret member having a neck and head with a threaded opening therein, a bolt passing through an opening in a hub end of a rod to form an articulating joint with the head of the turret member and a shaft extending outward from the hub end to a distal end, a clamping member with an opening formed between two legs being positioned with the opening on the shaft and having a clamping fastener to tighten the legs about the shaft, and having a mounting surface defining a mounting plane and a mounting fastener to connect with a camera.
