Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention includes an apparatus for stabilizing a camera, the apparatus including a first main body having at least front, top, bottom, left and right surfaces forming a wedge shape, the top and bottom surfaces including a concave back edge adapted to engage a stationary structure, the front surface including a surface texture adapted to engage the camera; and optionally a second main body of similar structure. The first body includes at least one tab on at least one of the right and left surfaces and the second body includes at least one slot on at least one of the right and left surfaces wherein the at least one tab is shaped to engage the at least one slot.
Claims18
An apparatus for stabilizing a camera, the apparatus comprising:
- a first main body having at least front, top, bottom, left and right surfaces forming a wedge shape, the top and bottom surfaces including a concave back edge adapted to engage a stationary structure, the front surface including a surface texture adapted to engage the camera;
- and
- a second main body having at least front, top, bottom, left and right surfaces forming a wedge shape, the top and bottom surfaces including a concave back edge adapted to engage a stationary structure, the front surface including a surface texture adapted to engage the camera,
- wherein the first body includes at least one tab on at least one of the right and left surfaces and the second body includes at least one slot on at least one of the right and left surfaces wherein the at least one tab is shaped to engage the at least one slot.
An apparatus for stabilizing a trail camera, the apparatus comprising:
- a first stackable body having at least front, top, bottom, left and right surfaces forming a wedge shape, the top and bottom surfaces including a concave back edge adapted to engage a stationary structure, the front surface including a surface texture adapted to engage the trail camera, and at least one tab on at least one of the right and left surfaces;
- and
- a second stackable body having at least front, top, bottom, left and right surfaces forming a wedge shape, the top and bottom surfaces including a concave back edge adapted to engage a stationary structure, the front surface including a surface texture adapted to engage the trail camera, and at least one slot on at least one of the right and left surfaces,
- wherein the at least one tab is shaped to engage the at least one slot.
A method of stabilizing a trail camera against a tree including the steps of:
- positioning the trail camera adjacent to a substantially convex surface of the tree, the substantially convex surface of the tree is a trunk or a branch of the tree;
- positioning a first stackable body having at least front, top, bottom, left and right surfaces forming a wedge shape, such that the top and bottom surfaces, each having a concave back edge, engage the trunk or branch of the tree and the front surface engages the trail camera;
- and
- adjusting the first stackable body and trail camera to stabilize the trail camera against the tree.
