Abstract

The camera mount of the invention comprises a base clamp (10) capable of being removably attached to almost any desired mounting or support such as a table, the back of a chair, or a bookshelf. Attached to the base clamp is a flexible arm (20). The arm terminates in a camera support member (24). The camera support member further comprises a camera securing surface (26) that allows a webcam or other lightweight digital image capturing device to quickly and easily be removably secured to the camera support member. As the arm of the camera mount is flexible, a webcam mounted thereon may be placed in a wide variety of positions and angles relative to the mounting surface while remaining fixed to the camera support member by the camera securing surface.
