Abstract
A case or support accessory system for a camera device, such a photo or video personal camera, that includes a base constructed to removably cooperate with the camera device. In a preferred embodiment, the case system generally encloses the camera device without interfering with operation of one or more of the control features associated with operation of the camera device. The base includes a plurality of mount arrangements that are each shaped to selectively removably cooperate with one of a plurality of mount adapters. The mount, adapters are constructed to magnetically or physically interact with a variety of accessories that support or augment operation, such as via a flash or light device, associated with hands-free use of the camera device.
