Zusammenfassung:	A mounting apparatus used to connect an optical device to a mounting structure is provided. The mounting apparatus has a base portion which is connectable to the mounting structure and a receiving portion which is movably connected to the base portion, such as with a pivot joint. The mounting apparatus may include an adjustable 'force to overcome' pivot joint between the base and receiving portions and a novel clamping system to clamp the base portion to the mounting structure. The mounting apparatus may also include a locking hole and locking structure engagement with a plunger and a movement restraint structure which controls pivotal movement of the receiving structure relative to the base structure. Other novel features and related methods of the mounting apparatus are also disclosed herein.
