A magnetic mount is provided for easily mounting, positioning, and orienting a camera, sensor or other directionally sensitive electronic device. In one example the magnetic mount is a camera mount. The camera mount has a camera part that has an image sensor, electronics, battery, and communication components. The housing for the camera part has a generally concave mounting surface, with a magnet positioned inside the camera housing and adjacent to the camera mounting surface. A base part has a base mounting surface that is constructed to be attracted to the magnet. In one example, the base mounting surface is dome-shaped, with a convex curvature constructed to mate with the concave curvature of the camera mounting surface. The base part is mounted to a stable support, and the camera mounting surface brought near the base counting surface. The magnetic attractive forces pull the camera part firmly to the base part, thereby securely positioning and orienting the camera. However, the camera may be readily repositioned by pushing the camera into a new position. The size and shape of the complementary mounting surfaces may be selected according to positioning requirements.
