  • Publication number: 20210221303
    Abstract: A mount for mounting an accessory, the mount comprising: an attachment member to attach the mount to a support structure; and a mount coupling member configured to have a profile complementary to a corresponding accessory coupling member of an accessory to be coupled to the mount. The mount coupling member comprises a first material operative to couple to a second material of an accessory coupling member through an attractive force between the first material and second material; and wherein the attractive force is of a magnitude to permit slidable movement of the mount coupling member relative to an accessory coupling member while maintaining mechanical contact between the mount and an accessory. The first material comprises a complementary configuration with a second material of an accessory coupling member to permit a greater magnitude of the slidable movement in a first direction compared to a second direction transverse to the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20200220997
    Abstract: A camera assembly includes a first image capture device operative to capture images in a first direction. First image capture device has a first coupling configured to receive a second image capture device coupling. First image capture device includes a housing having a first mechanical coupling. A second image capture device is removably coupleable to first image capture device and captures images in a second direction. Second image capture device includes a second coupling. First and second couplings configured to couple second image capture device to first image capture device. Second image capture device further includes a housing having a second mechanical coupling. First and second mechanical couplings are configured to removably couple housing portion of second image capture device directly to housing portion of first image capture device to couple housing portions of first and second image capture devices to one another. Images captured are transferrable.
