Publication number: 20080107413Abstract: A portable camera support, combining a mounting bracket or tray with a shaft or pole and a foot bar, may provide stable, portable support for cameras or other devices. The stability of the support may yield more reliable scouting results. The portability of the support may afford greater efficiency, possibly resulting in reduced time associated with locating wildlife or other items of interest over a given area of coverage. An exemplary portable camera support may have a camera mounting bracket or tray releasibly mounted to a shaft. The shaft may be inserted, using the foot bar for example, into soil or other supportive media. The mounting bracket may then be adjusted vertically or rotationally with the aid of a set screw. The camera support may be configured with multiple mounting brackets releasibly mounted to a shaft, thereby providing up to a 360-degree field of view without adjusting the mounting brackets.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2006Publication date: May 8, 2008Applicant: Cross Winds Publishing, LLCInventors: Darrin Moore, John Buchanan, Edward J.

The portability of the support may afford greater efficiency, possibly resulting in reduced time associated with locating wildlife or other items of interest. An exemplary camera support may have a mounting bracket or tray releasibly mounted to a shaft by means of a set screw threaded through a collar on the bracket. The shaft may be inserted, using the foot bar for example, into soil or other supportive media. The mounting bracket may be adjusted vertically or rotationally 360° with the aid of the set screw. The camera support may be configured with multiple brackets mounted to a shaft, thereby providing different fields of view without adjusting the brackets.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2007Publication date: May 8, 2008Applicant: Cross Winds Concepts, LLCInventors: Darrin Moore, John Buchanan, Edward J.
