    TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to a camera holder. More particularly, the present invention relates to a camera holder for mounting a camera on an object, for example, a helmet.
    BACKGROUND Conventionally, several types of cameras are available for various purposes such as capturing photos, recording videos, security surveillance or other media related applications. Recently, digital camera technology has continued to advance, for providing higher quality photos and video streams with richer colors and frame rates. The digital camera uses higher definition digital sensors to capture a video with ease and clarity.
    A compact, rugged and water-proof portable cameras are designed to use in various activities, such as sports. The cameras associated with outdoor sports are often attached to helmets, surfboards or handlebars, which are an integral part of many sports such as base jumping, parachuting, wingsuit flying, skiing, etc. Mounting these cameras on various places such as helmets, motorcycles, or other equipment for capturing “on board” footage of a user’s activities has become a trend in recent years. In general, the camera is mounted on the top of the helmet. Sometimes several cameras are used to capture specific perspectives, such as a first camera mounted on the helmet to record the perspective of the user and a second camera mounted on the other equipment in the user environment, for example, a board, wing, handlebar or wrist to record their reactions.
    Based on the intended use, the cameras are mounted using some type of hardware units such as tripod and mounting brackets. Tripods are heavy and consume more time for the setup. Also, tripods occupy more space. The bracket is first attached to
    , DK 2020 00171 A1 the object, for example, helmet used while riding a bicycle, a motorcycle, a horse, etc. using adhesives, suction cups, or other methods. The camera is then attached to the bracket. However, it could reduce the stability of the helmet by locating a relatively large mass from the center of rotation of the helmet. Also, the helmet is intended to maintain its structural integrity. Besides the camera could also be mounted using two elastic bands. However, it is difficult to move and not possible to move them around without a lot of work. Some type of camera holders enables the users to hold them for recording the activities, which is inconvenient to users. Also, the assembling and detaching of camera holders on equipment are very inconvenient. Further, the camera holders could damage — the camera if it is not assembled properly.
    In the light of above-mentioned problems, it is desirable to provide an improved and efficient camera holder that allows mounting a recording device such as a camera, which could be easily removed and moved around. Also, there is a need for a solution — that allows complete freedom of movement while accurately tracking the line of sight of the user.

In one embodiment, the first member 108 further comprises a pair of extended portions 122.
    Referring to FIG. 3, a perspective view of the second member 124, according to one embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the second member 124 is a mounting bracket configured to hold the camera 102 in a desired position. In one embodiment, the second member 124 is molded from strong plastic. The second member 124 could also be made of steel or other suitable durable materials. In one embodiment, — the second member 124 comprises a pair of magnets 126 (as shown in FIG. 4) and a pair of mating slots 128. In one embodiment, the pair of magnets 126 are mounted inside the second member 124. In one embodiment, the magnets 126 are permanent magnets. In one embodiment, the magnets 126 could be electromagnets, magnetically attractive materials or any other type of magnetic means. In one embodiment, the magnets 126 are mounted inside second member 124 using one or more fasteners 130. The fasteners 130 could be threaded screws, bolts, and nuts. In one embodiment, the pair of mating slots 128 is configured to receive the pair of latching tabs 114. In one embodiment, the second member 124 is magnetically and detachably fastened to the first member 108 by snugly positioning the pair of latching tabs 114 into the mating slots 128. In one embodiment, the second member 124 comprises a shape to enable the user to magnetically and detachably fastening to the first member 108. In one embodiment, the second member 124 comprises a pair of flat ends 132, which rests on the pair of
    2 DK 2020 00171 A1 extended portions 122 while mounting the second member 124 on the first member 108. In one embodiment, the second member 124 further comprises one or more loops 136 mounted at one end of a vertical column 134. In one embodiment, the one or more loops 136 are configured to securely hold the camera 102 using at least one fastener 138. In one embodiment, the fastener 138 is a thumb knob. In some embodiments, the fastener 138 could be threaded screws, bolts, and nuts. Referring to FIGs. 4 and 5, a front view and a side view of the second member 124 with camera 102 respectively, configured to mount on the first member 108 fastened at the lower side 106 of the object 102. In one embodiment, the first member 108 is configured to enable the user to securely fasten to the object 104 using one or more fasteners. In one embodiment, the first member 108 comprises the protrusion 110 having the pair of magnets 112 and the pair of latching tabs 114. In one embodiment, the second member 124 comprises the pair of magnets 126 and the pair of mating slots 128. In one embodiment, the second member 124 is configured to magnetically and detachably fastened to the first member 108 by mating the pair of latching tabs 114 to the pair of mating slots 128 of the first member 108. In one embodiment, the second member 124 is configured to securely hold the camera 102 in the position for capturing surrounding images and videos using the fastener 138.
    In one embodiment, the second member 124 is removed from the first member 108 by applying a force exceeding the magnetic strength of the pair of magnets (112 and 126). By adding the force that exceeds the magnitude of the magnets (112 and 126), the magnets (112 and 126) are released and the camera 102 automatically falls off. The second member 124 mounted with camera 102 could be used as a handheld recording device during activities such as parachute and or paraglides, in case the lines are wrapped into the second member 124 as well as the camera 102. In one embodiment, the function of the magnets (112 and 126), as well as the location/angle allows the magnets (112 and 126) to be released and moved over, on other
    2 DK 2020 00171 A1 mounting brackets having a suitable counterpart. In one embodiment, the camera mounting assembly 100 further comprises several parts that exactly fit together. The camera mounting assembly 100 is designed so that when assembled, they are mechanically locked, on all shafts, one shaft is locked with magnets. In another embodiment, the camera holding assembly 100 comprises a pair of wedges. The wedges are configured to remain the second member 124 in place when the second member 124 receives a shock laterally.
    In one embodiment, the camera holding assembly 100 allows an automatic or manual cutaway system to remove the second member 124 with camera 102 from the first member 108. It is easy to change the location, with the same camera 102, as the members (108 and 124) fit together. It also allows if the camera holding assembly 100 or camera 102 are wrapped into something, for example, if the camera holding assembly 100 is used for parachuting, so the user could unwrap, or if the power exceeds the magnets strength, separates the members (108 and 124) so that it is no longer wrapped. In one embodiment, the camera holding assembly 100 could be mounted on any one of an electric scooter, motorbike, parachute, snowboard, bicycle, rollerblade, skateboard, and other sports equipment. In one embodiment, the camera holding assembly 100 could also be mounted to any of the moving objects to capture photos or record videos. In one embodiment, the simple design of the camera holding assembly 100 provides the magnetic connection, which is strong enough to be suitable during normal use to securely retain the camera 102 and to release the camera 102 in case of a crash or emergency to avoid injuries and damages. In some embodiments, the camera holding assembly 100 could be manufactured from any one of a technology includes 3D printing, plastic molding, or CNC milling.
