ABSTRACT:
A mounting device configured for mounting a sensing device in relation to a supporting structure, and related method of mounting, are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the mounting device includes a first support component capable of being mounted at least indirectly in relation to the supporting structure, a second support component configured to support the sensing device, and a connecting component coupled between the first and second support components, where the connecting component supports the second support component in relation to the first support component. Also, the mounting device includes an adjustor coupled to at least one of the first support component, the second support component and the connecting component that influences a positioning of the second support component in relation to the first support component.
