1. A mounting system for an image capture device, the mounting system comprising:
a first arm configured to support the image capture device, the first arm including a first fastener pivotable between an unlocked position, in which the image capture device is connectable to and disconnectable from the mounting system, and a locked position, in which the image capture device is secured to the mounting system;
a second arm pivotably connected to the first arm;
a second fastener connecting the first arm and the second arm, the second fastener configured for rotation to apply a compressive force to the first arm and the second arm and thereby fix the first arm and the second arm in relation to each other;
a third arm pivotably connected to the second arm; and
a third fastener connecting the second arm and the third arm, the third fastener configured for rotation to apply a compressive force to the second arm and the third arm and thereby fix the second arm and the third arm in relation to each other, wherein the first fastener, the second fastener, and the third fastener are each nonremovable from the mounting system.
