Abstract:
A camera mounting system for enabling a person to take pictures or videos hands-free in a wet environment with a water-proof camera is disclosed. The camera is of the type having preferably an electric one or two-position switch actuator. A water-proof actuation cable is connected at one end to a shutter actuation connector that is interconnected to the camera actuator. The other end of the actuation cable terminates in a mouth-actuated shutter control, such as a bite or tongue switch. A head mounting means, such as a helmet, is included for mounting the camera thereon, and has an inside surface, an outside surface, and an aperture therethrough. A longitudinal axis of the aperture is generally either vertical or horizontal when the helmet is worn by an upright person looking forward. As such, the orientation of the person's head can be used to judge the orientation of the camera mounted on such a helmet, the camera being mounted to take normally landscape or portrait oriented photos or videos. A threaded mounting bolt secures the camera to the helmet at a threaded mounting aperture of the camera. The actuation cable further includes a connector and a plug such that the other end of the actuation cable may be selectively separated from the one end of the actuation cable.
