Camera mounting system
View Patent ↗A camera mounting system including a camera, a first planar structural member and a battery structure. The camera has a first surface and a second surface. The first planar structural member has a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the first surface of the camera. The battery structure is connected to the second end of the first planar structural member.
1. A camera mounting system, comprising:
a camera having a first surface and a second surface;
a first planar structural member having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the first surface of the camera;
a second planar structural member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second planar structural member being connected to the second surface of the camera; and
a railed handle connected to the first or the second planar structural member.
2. The camera mounting system of claim 1 , further comprising a battery structure connected to the second end of the first planar structural member.
3. The camera mounting system of claim 2 , wherein the second end of the second planar structural member is connected to the battery structure.
4. The camera mounting system of claim 3 , wherein the first surface of the camera and the second surface of the camera are on opposite sides of the camera.
5. The camera mounting system of claim 4 , wherein the first and second planar structural members are substantially parallel to each other.
6. The camera mounting system of claim 4 , wherein a distance between the first surface of the camera and the second surface of the camera is approximately the same distance as the first and second planar structural members are apart at the second ends of the first and second planar structural members.
7. The camera mounting system of claim 1 , further comprising a screen cradle coupled to at least one of the first planar structural member and the second planar structural member, the screen cradle having a shape to accommodate a movable screen of the camera.
8. The camera mounting system of claim 7 , wherein the screen cradle is oriented to accommodate the screen in an orientation that is substantially perpendicular to the first surface of the camera.
9. A camera mounting system to be attached to a camera having a first surface and a second surface, the camera mounting system comprising:
a first planar structural member having a first end and a second end, the first end being connectable to the first surface of the camera;
a second planar structural member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second planar structural member being connectable to the second surface of the camera; and
a screen cradle coupled to at least one of the first planar structural member and the second planar structural member, the screen cradle having a shape to accommodate a movable screen of the camera.
10. The camera mounting system of claim 9 , further comprising a battery holding structure connected between the second end of the first planar structural member and the second end of the second planar structural member.
11. A camera mounting method, comprising the steps of:
coupling a first end of a first planar structural member to a first surface of a camera;
coupling a first end of a second planar structural member to a second surface of the camera; and
connecting a railed handle to the first or the second planar structural member.
12. The camera mounting method of claim 11 , further comprising the steps of:
connecting a battery coupling structure to a second end of the first planar structural member; and
connecting a second end of the second planar structural member to the battery coupling structure.
13. The camera mounting method of claim 12 , wherein the first surface of the camera and the second surface of the camera are on opposite sides of the camera.
14. The camera mounting method of claim 13 , wherein the first and second planar structural members are substantially parallel to each other.
15. The camera mounting method of claim 12 , wherein a distance between the first surface of the camera and the second surface of the camera is approximately the same distance as the first and second planar structural members are apart at the second ends of the first and second planar structural members.
16. The camera mounting method of claim 12 , further comprising the step of coupling a screen cradle to at least one of the first planar structural member, the second planar structural member, and the battery structure, the screen cradle having a shape to accommodate a movable screen of the camera.
17. The camera mounting method of claim 16 , wherein the screen cradle is oriented to accommodate the movable screen in an orientation that is substantially perpendicular to the first surface of the camera.
