ABSTRACT:
A mounting system for supporting body mounted camera equipment. A three-axis gimbal supports a tube assembly which has provision for mounting a camera at the upper end thereof, a video monitor near the bottom and modular equipment associated with the lower end. The structural tube assembly has radially extending flanges to be received by a clamp which interlocks with the flanges and then may be tightened about the lower portion of the tube assembly. An electrical connection is also made at the lower end of the tube assembly. The modular equipment includes a junction box. A battery hanger or a universal gyro mount are disclosed in association with the lower junction box. The universal gyro mount includes a telescoping tube structure providing attachment flanges at either end as well as intermediate ends for flywheels. Many degrees of freedom are available for the mount position and extent as well as for the orientation of the flywheel units.
