  • Patent number: 9778548
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a quick connect camera mounting system may include a camera mount which may be removably coupled to a base by removably coupling a post collar to a mounting post. A lock bar may be movably coupled to the post collar. The mounting post may include a lock notch which may be configured to receive a portion of the lock bar when the post collar is mated to the mounting post. A lock lever may be coupled to the lock bar which may move a portion of the lock bar into the lock notch when the post collar is mated to the mounting post thereby coupling the camera mount to the base. The camera mount may be uncoupled from the base by moving the lock lever to remove the lock bar from the lock notch and then by separating the mounting post from the post collar.

  • Patent number: 9395603
    Abstract: A mouth adapter configured to secure a portable camera comprising a first bite wing, a second bite wing, an air channel located between the first bite wing and the second bite wing, an adapter arm connecting the first bite wing and the second bite wing, and a camera mount coupled to the adapter. The bite wings may be elongated and comprise a bite surface made from an elastic polymer which may be configured to make contact with the teeth of a user as they bite onto the bite surface. In further preferred embodiments, the mouth adapter comprises a first balance ridge and second balance ridge protruding from the adapter arm proximate to the first and second bite wings with an air groove positioned between said the balance ridges. The air groove may be located within the adapter arm and proximate to intersection of the bite wings.
