A bracket assembly provides dual-axis rotatable mounting of a GPS data collection unit to a range pole. A neck fits around a range pole and has a threaded flange at one end. A compression ring slips around the range pole and abuts the neck. A collar fits over the compression ring and threads onto the flange. A boom extends from the neck and supports a bracket assembly adapted to hold the data collector. The boom has a stop flange near the proximal end and external threading at the distal end. Two compression rings fit around the boom. A base member has a supporting sleeve which slips around the boom in between the compression rings. The sleeve supports a base plate. An internally threaded knob fits over the boom and the distally placed compression ring and mates with the external threading at the distal end of the boom. The knob compresses the sleeve in between the compression rings and secures the base member at a desired position to prevent it from rotating about the boom. A pair of resilient C-shaped wings extend upward from a base plate mounted to the outside of the sleeve and hold the data collector to the rotatably mounted sleeve. Each of the wings are ppositioned and adapted for snap-fit holding a waist of the data colector against the base plate.
