Abstract: Tripod mounting plates for mounting a tracking device on a to-be-tracked device comprise a housing and a coupler. The housing is configured to be operatively coupled to a tripod, and the housing defines a recess configured to selectively receive and retain the tracking device. The coupler is operatively coupled to the housing and configured to be operatively coupled to the to-be-tracked device. In some examples, the to-be-tracked device comprises a camera and/or any other suitable device configured to be mounted on the tripod. The tripod mounting plates are configured to facilitate mounting the tracking device on the to-be-tracked device and mounting the to-be-tracked device on the tripod.

Abstract: Mounts (10) for securing devices (12) to articles (14) comprise means for holding a device (12), means for attaching the means for holding to an article (14), and means for maintaining a center of gravity of a mount (10) in close proximity to the article (14).

Abstract: Mounts (10) for securing devices (12) to articles (14) comprise a housing (16) and a pin (18) coupled to the housing (16). The housing (16) has a first side (50), a second side (52) opposite the first side (50), and a central axis (54), and the housing (16) is configured to receive the device (12). The pin (18) comprises a piercing end (20) and has an open position (22) and a closed position (24). In the open position (22), the pin (18) extends away from the second side (52) of the housing (16), and the piercing end (20) is spaced away from the housing (16) and is positioned to pierce the article (14). In the closed position (24), the piercing end (20) is closer to the housing (16) than when in the open position (22).
