CAMERA SUPPORT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A camera support system comprising:
- a base configured to be fixedly attached to an object, the base comprising a base coupling part;
a support assembly configured for releasable coupling with the base, the support assembly comprising a support assembly coupling part configured for engaging with the base coupling part along a coupling axis and a camera supporting part for supporting a camera with allowing spatial orientation of the camera about at least one rotation axis; and
a locking ring pivotally mounted on the support assembly about the coupling axis for locking the support assembly with the base, the support assembly being configured for releasably coupling to the base by engaging the support assembly coupling part with the base coupling part along the coupling axis and subsequently pivoting the locking ring with respect to the base coupling part and the support assembly coupling part about the coupling axis for locking the support assembly to the base.
