Fishing Accessory Camera Mount for Stable Image Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing accessories with camera mounts are cumbersome to use, often resulting in blurry or imperfect images, and do not allow for easy capture of the fishing process, especially when fishing alone, and may harm fish in catch and release situations due to prolonged water exposure for setting up equipment.
Innovation Solution
A fishing accessory with a camera mount featuring a body with a handle and a fishing tool, such as a net or gaff hook, where the camera is removably secured to capture images of the user catching, landing, and displaying a fish, allowing for convenient image recording without compromising the fish's safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an individual holds the camera to capture images while fishing alone, then the camera can be positioned to take pictures, but the images become blurry and imperfect due to jostling while holding multiple items
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the camera mounting functionality with the fishing rod handle by integrating a camera mount into the handle structure. This allows the camera to be securely attached to the rod itself, merging two separate functions (fishing and photography) into a single integrated system, thereby eliminating the need to hold the camera separately while maintaining stable image capture
2Ease of operation
If the camera is set on a stand to automatically take pictures after landing the catch, then the individual's hands are freed, but the fish may be greatly harmed if kept out of water too long while setting up equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The camera is pre-mounted on the fishing rod handle before fishing begins. This preliminary setup eliminates the need to stop fishing and set up separate camera equipment after catching a fish. The camera is already in position and can immediately capture images when the fish is landed, minimizing the time the fish spends out of water and reducing harm to the fish
3Productivity
If the camera is mounted on the fishing rod, then images can be captured during the fishing process, but the device becomes more complex with additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The fishing rod handle is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides the structural support for fishing while simultaneously incorporating a camera mount for photography. This multi-functional design allows the same component (the handle) to fulfill both fishing and imaging needs, adding camera capture capability without requiring a completely separate dedicated camera mounting system

AI summary
A fishing accessory with camera mount. The fishing accessory includes a body having a first end and a second end. An elongated handle is configured to be removably securable to the first end of the body. A fishing tool is affixed to the second end of the body. The fishing tool can be a net, a gaff hook, or other tool used for catching and retrieving fish. A camera mount is disposed on an upper side of the body, wherein the camera mount is configured to receive a camera and removably secure the camera to the body. The fishing accessory with camera mount allows users to easily record themselves catching, landing, and displaying a fish.
