Abstract: A camera positioning and mounting apparatus which in some embodiments may comprise four case receiving surfaces with two mounting arms positioned proximate to each case receiving surface. A front camera lens receiving half of a camera case may be hingedly attached to two mounting arms allowing a camera to be temporarily mounted between the front camera lens receiving half of a camera and a case receiving surface. A latching element may be configured to temporarily secure a front camera lens receiving half of a camera case to a case receiving surface. The case receiving surfaces may be joined to a base with each case receiving surface comprising a case locking tab configured to secure a latching element and a case gasket configured to engage and seal the front camera lens receiving half of a camera case to a case receiving surface.
