d. a wind vane assembly including a pole and a flag, wherein the pole defines a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the pole is mounted with respect to the first surface of the body and the pole extends in a direction opposite the second surface of the body; the pole is angled in a direction opposite the axis of rotation, such that the second end of the pole is further from the axis of rotation than the first end of the pole, wherein the pole defines a fixed angle range between about 105 degrees and 115 degrees relative to the axis of rotation; and wherein the flag is fixedly mounted in close proximity with respect to the second end of the pole; the flag defines two angled portions tangentially positioned relative to the pole, wherein the two angled portions of the flag define an internal angle range between about 25 degrees and about 35 degrees; and

wherein the body defines at least one camera attachment feature capable of engaging with the at least one recording device;

wherein the body and the wind vane assembly are capable of being rotated in a direction of airflow traveling across the body and the wind vane assembly;

wherein when the rotatable camera mount assembly comprising the at least one camera attachment feature engaged with the at least one recording device is mounted on the vehicle and the vehicle travels in a direction of travel, the rotatable camera mount rotates to capture images/video in the direction the vehicle is traveling,

wherein the rotatable camera mount assembly does not require a counterweight to direct the recording device towards the direction of travel.

2. The rotatable camera mount assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the body attachment component is capable of being mounted with respect to a mounting base.

3. The rotatable camera mount assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one camera attachment feature is configured such that a field of view of the at least one recording device is positioned in a direction opposite the direction of the airflow.

4. The rotatable camera mount assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the body defines two camera attachment features and is capable of being engaged with two recording devices.

5. The rotatable camera mount assembly according to claim 4 , wherein a first of the two camera attachment features is configured such that a field of view of the first recording device is positioned in a direction at least substantially opposite the direction of the airflow and a second of the two camera attachment features is configured such that a field of view of the second recording device is positioned in a direction at least substantially with the direction of the airflow.

6. The rotatable camera mount assembly according to claim 1 further comprising a spring mechanism mounted with respect to the shaft between the body and the body attachment component.

7. The rotatable camera mount assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the body and the body attachment component are capable of at least partially compressing the spring mechanism.

8. The rotatable camera mount assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the flag is fabricated from a single piece of material and curved over the pole to define the two angled portions.

9. A rotatable camera mount assembly for positioning at least one recording device on a vehicle capable of moving in at least a first direction, the rotatable camera mount assembly comprising:

a. a body defining a first surface, a second surface, and at least one sidewall extending therebetween, the body defining a through-hole extending from the first surface to the second surface of the body;

b. a body attachment component, wherein the body attachment component defines a first surface, a second surface and at least one sidewall extending therebetween, the body attachment component defining a through-hole extending from the first surface to the second surface of the body attachment component,

wherein the body attachment component is mounted to the second surface of the body with a fastener that extends through the through-hole of the body from the first surface of the body and through the through-hole of the body attachment component to the second surface of the body attachment component and is secured with a fastener engagement component, wherein the fastener defines an axis of rotation extending between the body and the body attachment component, wherein the body is capable of rotating with respect to the body attachment component,

wherein the body attachment component comprises a base mount attachment feature on the at least one sidewall for coupling the body attachment component to a base mount assembly; and

d. a wind vane assembly including a pole and a flag, wherein the pole defines a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the pole is mounted with respect to the first surface of the body and the pole extends in a direction opposite the second surface of the body; the pole is angled in a direction opposite the axis of rotation, such that the second end of the pole is further from the axis of rotation than the first end of the pole, wherein the pole defines a fixed angle range between about 105 degrees and 115 degrees relative to the axis of rotation; and wherein the flag is fixedly mounted in close proximity with respect to the second end of the pole; the flag defines two angled portions tangentially positioned relative to the pole, wherein the two angled portions of the flag define an internal angle range between about 25 degrees and about 35 degrees; and
