camera mounts

Photography support equipment

Camera mounts are devices that attach cameras to surfaces, supports, or other equipment.

A tripod mount screws into the camera's base.

A hot shoe mount sits atop the camera body.

Vehicle mounts attach to dashboards or windshields.

In filmmaking, specialized mounts—steadicams, gimbals, dollies—enable smooth movement: The director wanted a crane mount for the overhead shot.
