BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is generally related to camera equipment.
2. Description of the Related Art
Conventional camera storage and carrying systems help to store and transport cameras when not in use. Unfortunately, they include aspects that can hinder retrieval of a camera being stored or transported so that photographic opportunities can be missed.
As discussed herein, an enhanced camera transport system and method includes a strap 201 and coupler 300. The strap is worn by a user 10, typically over the user's shoulder. The coupler is configured to engage with an attachment point on a camera 102 otherwise reserved by engagement with a camera stand such as a tripod, monopod, or the like. Following general camera construction, the attachment point is found on the bottom of the camera. In some implementations, the coupler is slideably attached to the strap to assist with repositioning of the camera from a transport position to a picture taking position by sliding the camera along the strap. Other implementations include an enclosure 400 for storage of the camera while it is not being used.
The strap 201 can be used for retention, support, and/or suspension of the coupler 300, camera 102, and enclosure 400. In some implementations holders, receptacles, pouches, or other containers can be integrated within the strap to storing items, such as a phone, flashlight, memory, film, batteries, keys, business cards, or other items. The strap can be worn, by the user, diagonally across the torso like a bandolier, or worn vertically from a shoulder. The strap can further include a variety of adjusters for adjusting its length, tension and fit. Further included can be a variety of release mechanisms and fasteners. Still further included in the strap can be a variety of pads or materials to promote comfort for the user, and to further maintain the strap in a proper location for use.
In implementations the coupler 300 can be used to couple the strap 201 to a camera, video camera, or image capture device, and thus further secure the device to a user. The coupler can include a first portion 301a that has a threadable element that engages with a conventional threadable stand socket (such for a tripod or a monopod) of a camera or lens. Further included can be a lock nut or resilient material residing between the coupler and the camera, or lens, to help promote a secure engagement of the coupler to the camera or lens.
The coupler can include a second portion 301b, like a threaded coupler, that slideably engages with the strap 201 that allows the camera 102 to be moved along the length of the strap, from a storage or transport location, to a resting position, and further to a shooting position and back again into the resting position or storage location. Further included in the first portion of the coupler can be additional components to allow for quick engagement and disengagement of the coupler with the strap. The coupler can include a tether to locate the camera a distance away from the strap, and thus a distance from the user. The coupler can be configured to components with a multitude of various rotational axes to promote proper placement of the camera on the user, as well as prevention of binding or tangling of the system.
Compartments can be included in the enclosure 400 for stowing camera components, such as a camera, lens, flash, or other auxiliary camera components in a protected location when not in use, while leaving the components readily accessible for use. The compartments of the enclosure can include closures to envelope the camera gear in a safe environment. To promote a safe environment for the camera components, the storage compartments can be made, in part or in whole, of resilient materials, padded materials, and/or water or chemical resistant materials. Further included in the enclosure can be one or more support straps, such as used on a backpack, handbag, or bandolier style bag. The support straps can also include a variety of adjusters and/or release mechanisms. Further included on the support straps can exist receptacles for holding and permitting access to various items, such as a phone, flashlight, memory, film, batteries, keys, business cards, or other items.

The closures can include the use of snaps, zippers, draw-cord, hook and loop (Velcro), or other such fasteners deemed necessary to secure the closures in a closed position. To promote a safe environment for the camera components, the storage compartments can be made, in part or in whole, of resilient materials, padded materials, and/or water or chemical resistant materials. Further included in the enclosure can be one or more support straps, such as used on a backpack, handbag, or bandolier style bag. In this example the support strap is of the bandolier type. The support straps can also include a variety of adjusters and/or release mechanisms (not shown). Further included on the support straps can exist receptacles (not shown) for holding and permitting access to various items, such as a phone, flashlight, memory, film, batteries, keys, business cards, or other items. Further included in the enclosure can be auxiliary storage for the stowing of various items.
