ABSTRACT:
An improved device for attachment of support apparatuses such as a tripod, support accessory, adjustable ball and socket support arms, and the like, to supplemental support objects such as a tree or limb, post or rail or other environmental objects, is herein provided. Convenient portable support of cameras, spotting scopes, optical devices and other devices is enhanced by enabling placement at usable heights, locations, and positions beyond the capabilities of the support apparatus alone. Shown as generally rectangular in shape, the support attachment device has a support apparatus side and supplemental support side, and an upper and lower end. FIG. 1 shows the support apparatus side 10 of the support attachment device. A support receiving groove 12 begins at the upper end 14 and ends at the lower end 16. Support receiving groove 12 divides a first support apparatus face 18 and second support apparatus face 20. A first rope clenching cleat 22 is contained upon first support apparatus face 18 and a second rope clenching cleat 24 is contained upon second support apparatus face 20. First rope clenching cleat 22 and second rope clenching cleat 24 are passive means for tightly clenching a flexible binding means such as common rope or the like. A rope placed within a rope clenching cleat is tightly bound without the need for a buckle requiring manual manipulation. No additional manually operated clamp or buckle is needed. By using common rope as a flexible means or secure attachment, the user is not limited by finite lengths of normal straps or finite sizes of normal clamps, but instead enabled to easily add to length as needed.
