A mounting device typically used for mounting line-of-site equipment, that allows easy, steady, and incremental rotation of the device in the vertical axis, and 360&#xb0; rotation in the horizontal axis, while also allowing rotation and tilt of the mounted equipment.

Mounting device

A universal mounting assembly for quick mounting of an object to a stand device. The mounting assembly includes a body having a support surface, a front face and an opposed mounting surface configured to mount to the support stand. The front face intersects the support surface and defines an opening into a receiving socket of the body. The body further defines an elongated slot extending along and into the receiving socket from the support surface. The elongated slot having a transverse width dimension smaller than that of the receiving socket, although it is suitable to receive a transverse width dimension of the button device neck portion. The receiving socket is formed and dimensioned for sliding receipt of the transverse width dimension of the head portion therein as the neck portion simultaneously slides along the elongated slot to a dock position. The mounting assembly further includes a resilient retaining arm cantilever disposed in the receiving socket. The retaining arm includes a contact portion movable between a released position and a locked position, locking the head portion to the body when at the dock position in the receiving socket. A manually operable locking wedge moves between an unengaged condition, enabling movement in the retaining arm toward the released position, and an engaged condition, preventing movement of the retaining arm from the locked position toward the released position.

Portable tripod and universal mounting assembly for an object

A binoculars mount secures a pair of binoculars to a mounting plate, which can, in turn, be mounted to a tripod or other support device. The mounting plate has a pair of cinch rings attached thereto and a plurality of openings therein. A clamping plate having a plurality of openings therein is oriented in spaced relation to the mounting plate. A single strap having hook-and-loop attachments is looped through one end of the mounting plate, through the first cinch ring, through the mounting plate openings, through the second cinch ring, through the other end of the mounting plate, through the clamping plate openings, back through the first cinch ring, over the top of the clamping plate, back through the second cinch ring and back over the top of the clamping plate to be secured by the hook-and-loop attachments.
