Abstract:
1. A handle integrated motion capture element mount apparatus comprising: an elongated handle portion having a distal portion and a proximal portion; a first area located within said distal portion of said handle portion wherein said first area is configured to couple with an elongated shaft of a piece of equipment; a second area located in said proximal portion of said handle portion housing a motion capture element and at least one battery; a weight element; and, wherein said second area is further configured to internally hold said weight element when said motion capture element is removed, wherein said weight element is substantially equal in weight to said motion capture element to minimize a difference in weight between said motion capture element that is removed, at least one battery and said weight element, to keep a total weight of said handle integrated motion capture element mount apparatus of equal value before said motion capture element is removed and after said motion capture element is removed and replaced by said weight element; and, a cap, wherein said second area is configured to couple with said cap to enclose said second area, wherein said second area and said cap are rotationally coupled and configured to power said motion capture element through rotation of said cap with respect to said second area.
