US Patent 11988326 Low-profile modular positioning coupler

A modular coupler coaxially mountable with a mast includes a first plate, a second plate and a column axially extending between the first and second plates. An arm is rotatably attached to the column and generally transversely extends therefrom and beyond a radial extent of the first plate and of the second plate. A mounting bracket projects from the arm along a portion of the arm outside the radial extent of the first plate and of the second plate. The mounting bracket is configured to removably mount a first surveillance equipment thereto. A motor is mounted to the arm outside the radial extent of the first plate and of the second plate and is configured to rotate the arm about the column.
