The anchoring arm linkage includes a weakpoint mechanism adapted to break in response to a minimum threshold amount of breaking force being applied upon the weakpoint mechanism. The anchoring arm includes a first end adapted for contacting a borehole wall surface and a second end pivotally attached to the anchoring arm linkage. The anchoring arm also includes a movable cam removably secured to the first end via a first connector pin. The cam being at least partially rotatable about the first connector pin and configured and arranged to rotate against the borehole wall by a pulling force at a top portion of the borehole seismic acquisition tool.
