Abstract

A camera supporting base includes a mounting platform with a mounting surface, a lower surface, and a recess area. The mounting surface is raised above and non-coplanar with the lower surface of the mounting platform. The camera supporting base also includes a pliable mass surrounding the mounting platform. The mounting surface of the mounting platform is recessed below a highest contour of the pliable mass.

Claims (29)

1. An electronic device supporting base, comprising:

an integral mounting platform;

said integral mounting platform having a bi-level configuration formed by a mounting level and a lower level;

said mounting level being raised above said lower level;

said mounting level being parallel and non-coplanar with said lower level to create a recess;

said lower level having an upper surface and a lower surface;

said lower level having attachment recesses configured to receive attachment mechanisms;

said lower surface of said lower level having a recess configured to receive an accessory attachment mechanism, said recess being shaped to prevent an accessory attachment mechanism from rotating when an accessory attachment mechanism is located therein.

2. The electronic device supporting base, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said attachment recesses are bi-diameter attachment through-holes configured to receive attachment mechanisms.

3. The electronic device supporting base, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said lower level has a plurality of lower surface projections, each lower surface projection having one of said attachment recesses.

4. An electronic device supporting base, comprising:

a mounting platform; and

an accessory attachment mechanism;

said mounting platform having a bi-level configuration formed by a mounting level and a lower level;

said mounting level being raised above said lower level;

said mounting level being parallel and non-coplanar with said lower level to create a recess;

said lower level having an upper surface and a lower surface;

said lower level having attachment recesses configured to receive attachment mechanisms;

said mounting level having a mounting surface;

said accessory attachment mechanism projecting from said mounting surface of said mounting level.

5. The electronic device supporting base, as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said attachment recesses are bi-diameter attachment through-holes configured to receive attachment mechanisms.

6. The electronic device supporting base, as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said lower level has a plurality of lower surface projections, each lower surface projection having one of said attachment recesses.

7. An electronic device supporting base, comprising:

a mounting platform;

said mounting platform having a mounting surface and a lower surface;

said mounting platform having attachment recesses configured to receive attachment mechanisms;

said mounting platform having a recess configured to receive an accessory attachment mechanism, said recess being shaped to prevent an accessory attachment mechanism from rotating when an accessory attachment mechanism is located therein.

8. The electronic device supporting base, as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said attachment recesses are bi-diameter attachment through-holes configured to receive attachment mechanisms.

9. The electronic device supporting base, as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said lower surface of said mounting platform has a plurality of lower surface projections, each lower surface projection having one of said attachment recesses.
