Abstract
The invention is a magnetic mounting apparatus for electronic devices used to film sports motion, personal content, and hands-free video and music streaming. The mounting apparatus includes a silicone coated threaded magnet, a clamp lined with a rubber mold, and an adjustable toggle latch locking clasp that allows attachment to rods or shafts of varying widths. The threaded magnet is of sufficient magnetic force to securely support the electronic device. Such electronic devices include and are not limited to smart phones, tablets, and cameras. A metal ferrous plate is attached to the electronic device with adhesive, thereby providing a secure magnetic connection between the mounting apparatus and electronic device.
