  • Patent number: 9612507
    Abstract: A camera mountable arm includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment includes a recess extending substantially along a length of the first segment, and is configured to detachably couple to a camera. The first segment is rotatably coupled to the second segment and the second segment is rotatably coupled to the third segment. The arm is operable in a plurality of positions, including: a folded position, where the first, second, and third segments are aligned to be mutually length-wise parallel such that the second segment is enclosed within the recess along the first segment, and the first and second segments are substantially flush with the third segment; and an outstretched position, where the first and second segments are separated by a first angular displacement and the second and third segments by a second angular displacement.

  • Publication number: 20170059967
    Abstract: A camera helmet mount can removably secure a camera to a helmet via three attachment points, each of which may be a vent hole, a portion of a face mask, or an edge of the helmet. The camera helmet mount may include a main base that couples with a portion of a camera mount, a rear strap, two main arms, and two optional extension arms. The rear strap and two main arms may have hooks at their distal ends opposite the main base that are secured to the three attachment points. The rear strap can be looped through a rear strap fastener of the main base and secured to itself via a strap clip. The main arms may be removably secured to the main base and can be lengthened by installing extension arms and attaching the hooks of the main arms to the other end of the extension arms.

  • Patent number: 9507245
    Abstract: Various camera mounts used to attach a camera to a helmet, vehicle, user, or other object are described. In one embodiment, a flexible camera mount deforms under impact, allowing an attached camera to detach without fracturing the mount. In a second embodiment, a non-flexible camera mount fractures under impact, allowing an attached camera to detach. In a third embodiment, a camera mount comprising a ring base and a floating base separates under impact, allowing a camera attached to the floating base to detach. In a fourth embodiment, a non-flexible camera mount including two rigid sections joined in a ā€œVā€ shape fractures under impact, allowing the camera to detach. In a fifth embodiment, a flexible camera mount comprising two sections connected in a ā€œVā€ shape separate under impact, allowing the camera to detach.

  • Publication number: 20150177597
    Abstract: A removable adhesive base mount is structured to couple a camera mount system to a capture surface such as a sports board, a helmet, a vehicle, and the like. An upper camera mount component securing a camera couples to a lower camera mount component, which in turn couples to the removable adhesive base mount. The removable adhesive mount includes a base mount component, a foam component, a separating component and an adhesive component. Stretching the adhesive component decouples the adhesive component from the capture surface and the separating component thereby decoupling the removable adhesive base mount from the capture surface.
