Abstract: A sensor mounting station includes a sensor mount and a control device. The sensor mount is for removably mounting a sensor. The control device is configured to orient the sensor mount about a plurality of axes. The plurality of axes are constrained to pass through a common point in space corresponding to a middle point of the sensor when mounted to the sensor mount.

Abstract: In aspects, a disclosed mounting system includes a device support plate, a base mounting plate, and at least one fastening element. The base mounting plate includes at least one bracket for coupling to the device support plate. The fastening element for securing the device support plate to the base mounting plate. The device support plate includes at least one connector defined by a wall arranged about a central longitudinal axis. The wall includes a plurality of resilient wall portions. An internal peripheral surface of the wall includes a channel defining a receiver for receiving the fastening element. The fastening element including at least two engagement members that include an external peripheral surface defining a mating surface for contacting a corresponding mating surface of the receiver.
