Abstract

A device for mounting a structure, such as a video camera, on a support includes a base and an arm projecting from the base. The video camera rests on one surface of the base and another surface rests on the support. The arm is adapted for insertion into a recessed cavity in the support, such as an antenna hole in a television set to provide a stable mounting device for the video camera. The angle of the video camera can be altered by pivoting the camera around the arm.
