Abstract
A camera and accessory mounting adapter is a device that allows the user to mount a camera as well as various accessories to the end of a boom, pole, or similar device. The device features a prism body with an adapter mounting cavity and female threading for attaching the device to the boom, pole, or similar device. A threaded fastener may be inserted into a hex head bolt receiving hole within the prism body, allowing a camera to be mounted to the prism body. At least one cold shoe mount is present for attaching a cold/hot shoe-compatible accessory to the prism body. A secondary camera mount allows the user to mount an additional camera to the device. Various other accessories may be mounted to the device via an accessory mounting port traversing through the prism body.
