ABSTRACT:
A camera mount is disclosed that includes a base clamp, with a pair of opposing adjustable gripping surfaces to engage an environmental support, such as a bookshelf or a tree branch. In the preferred embodiment, removably attached to the base, is an adaptor designed to receive the mast portions of the device. The adaptor has a plurality of apertures for receiving the first mast portion, thus increasing the possible angles at which the masts can be set relative to the base clamp. Additionally, in the preferred embodiment, each of the mast portions has an integral ball joint that allows the mast to have a "zig-zag" shape through various angles, if desired. This allows the field of view of the camera to avoid intervening obstacles, and aids in concealment, if desired. In a second embodiment of the invention, the adaptor and masts are replaced by a resiliently deformable "goose neck" arrangement.
