Abstract
An apparatus for mounting a device, an adjustable swivel mount, and a method are provided. The apparatus includes a bracket (106) and a shaft (108) pivotally coupled therewith. The apparatus also includes a first adjustment knob (143), with rotation of the first adjustment knob causing the shaft to pivot about a first axis (Y). The apparatus further includes a swivel bracket (144) coupled with the shaft, and a first paddle (128) coupled with the swivel bracket. The apparatus further includes a second adjustment knob (136), with rotation of the second adjustment knob causing the first paddle to pivot about a second axis (X). The apparatus also includes a mount (100) coupled to the first paddle and configured to couple to the device. Pivoting the first paddle about the first axis causes the mount to pivot about the first axis, and pivoting the first paddle about the second axis causes the mount to pivot about the second axis.
