PANORAMIC CAMERA MOUNT
First Claim
1. A panoramic device comprising:
- (a) a base having a lower surface suitable for supporting said base;
(b) a first clamp member secured for rotation to said base and comprising a clamp surface rotatable about a single axis substantially normal to said first surface;
(c) a second clamp member slidably secured to said first clamp member and movable by rotation of a first screw to approach said first clamp surface to clamp an article therebetween and movable by reversing rotation of said first screw to separate from said first clamp surface to release an article clamped between said first clamp surface and said second clamp member; and
(d) a second screw to selectively impede relative rotation of said first clamp member and said base.

Abstract
A panoramic device includes a base member and a clamp member rotatably interconnected within a single plane of rotation with the base that includes a first rotatable knob to selectively inhibit the rotation of the clamp member with respect to the base. The upper surface includes a central region that is at a different elevation than another portion of the upper surface. The clamp includes a pair of opposed surfaces suitable to detachably secure a camera thereto. The one of the opposed surfaces is maintained in a fixed relationship with respect to the clamp member. The other one of the opposed surfaces is in a movable relationship with respect to the clamp member using a second rotatable knob. The first knob and the second knob are rotatably connected with respect to one another.
