Shoe and mount assembly to hold camera or camcorder

摘要

A shoe mount assembly configured for use with a variety of cameras or camcorders. The shoe is attached to the bottom of the camera or camcorder unit. The shoe is detachable and is dimensioned to center fit a corresponding indent in the top surface of the mount. The shoe is configured with a locating pin and a threaded connector to be fitted on the base of a camera or camcorder. Once the locating pin locates the receiving recess in the bottom of the camcorder, the shoe is secured in place by the threaded connector. The shoe is loaded into the mount and locked in place by releasing a spring biased camlock for interaction with a cam surface on the shoe.
