Body-worn cameras have revolutionized law enforcement. They increase transparency, accountability, and voluntarily compliance from the public and police officers. Among the variety of available body cams, Axon stands out for its advanced technology and multiple mounting options. In this article, we take a closer look at the various mounting options provided by Axon, and how they can best serve the needs of various professionals.

Axon Body 3 Camera - Versatility for All

The Axon Body 3 camera heralds an era of confidence and connectivity. Equipped with cutting-edge features like total real-time situational awareness, live streaming, gunshot detection, and GPS, this device also offers versatile mounting options, tailoring to various uniforms, positions, and situations.

Chest Mounts

For many officers, chest mounts provide an optimal balance between comfort and capturing a broad perspective. Two popular options offered by Axon for chest mounting are the magnet mount and the flex chest mount.

Magnet Mount

The magnet mount provides a secure hold yet allows quick and easy detachment when necessary. It consists of a base that slides into an officer's uniform, sandwiched by the clothing and a strong magnet. The camera then slides into the mount, providing a secure axial rotation attachment.

Flex Chest Mount

The flex chest mount, on the other hand, provides an elevated mounting option that positions the camera closer to the center of the chest for a higher and wider field of view. This is achieved using a flexible but stiff wire which can contour around the chest's curvature.

Shirt and Shoulder Mounts

Axon also provides mounting options for officers who prefer to have their cameras at their shirt collar or shoulder level.

Uniform Shirt Mount

The uniform shirt mount clips to the shirt placket, positioning the camera at the center of the chest, providing an unimpeded field view. This mounting option is lightweight and does not strain the neck or shoulder muscles during extended use.

Shoulder Mount

The shoulder mount involves a small base attached to the uniform's shoulder area, with an adjustable arm extending from this base. The arm allows users to adjust the camera angle for optimal video capture.

Head and Helmet Mounts

For officers on bikes or involved in certain tactical situations, Axon offers head and helmet mounting options.

Head Mount

The head mount uses an adjustable strap to secure the camera around the officer's head. This provides perspective from eye level and is often preferred for recording interactions without obstructions.

Helmet Mount

The helmet mount attaches securely to an officer's helmet. It is ideal for officers on bike patrol or involved in riot control. This mount typically offers good stability and minimizes video shakiness compared to other mounting options.

Each of these mounting options adds flexibility to the Axon body camera's use and allows it to adapt to a wide range of scenarios, fitting diverse officer roles and styles. They are all designed to ensure that no critical moment is missed while providing maximum comfort and convenience to the officer wearing the device.

Every role has unique needs and situations. Therefore, the choice of mount would depend on your assignment, uniform regulations, personal comfort, and the type of engagement. Whatever your requirement, Axon enables you to tackle every day with confidence, knowing that your gear is good to go, no matter the situation.

With Axon's body cameras and mounting options, officers can worry less about their equipment and focus more on what matters most- protecting and serving the communities they love.
