| 20140339841 | CONTROLLED VIDEO CAMERA STABILIZER - The present invention discloses a stabilizing apparatus for a camera. The apparatus may comprise a mount supporting a camera; a support coupled to said mount with a movable joint; and a counterweight system extending outwardly from said mount. One or more counterweights of said counterweight system may be positioned on an opposite side of said movable joint to said mount. The counterweight system may be configured to surround a space occupied by the movable joint. The counterweight system may comprise one or more movable counterweights which can move reciprocally relative to said counterweight system in response to movement of the support relative to the mount making it possible to gently steer the direction of shooting without losing the stability of the video camera caused by rapid oscillations of the support. | 11-20-2014 |
| 20150108777 | Camera pole - A camera-mounting pole device including an air tight plastic tube with a first end and second end, a plastic end cap secured to the second end of the tube, a rubber hand grip secured to the first end of the tube, and a mounting piece having a plurality of prongs extending outwardly therefrom secured to the plastic end cap. The prongs are configured for receipt of an image capturing device or case therefore to releasably secure to the same. Each prong has a hole configured for receipt of a screw. The prongs are spaced apart and adapted to intermittently align with corresponding prongs of an image capturing device. The pole is preferably clear plastic that can uphold an image capturing device thereby enabling a photographer to capture images of himself or surroundings without a noticeable camera pole being present in the image. | 04-23-2015 |
| 20150137544 | CAMERA MOUNT - Embodiments disclose systems and methods for a camera mount. Specifically, embodiments are directed towards a camera support that may be quickly unlocked and rotated, so that the grip orientation changes from a normal hand-grip use, to an orientation that can be undergirded by the crook of the operators elbow. | 05-21-2015 |
| 20150316837 | HAND-HELD ARTICULATING ARM CAMERA MOUNT - The present disclosure provides a hand-held camera mount for mounting an imaging device. In one embodiment, a hand-held imaging device mount comprises a handle configured to be held by a user; a base connected to the handle; an arm movably secured to the base such that the arm can be rotated relative to the handle and secured in place; and a mount head movably secured to the arm such that the mount head can be moved relative to the arm and secured in place, the mount head configured to mount an imaging device, wherein the imaging device mount permits an imaging device mounted to the mount head to be adjusted with multiple degrees of freedom relative to the handle. | 11-05-2015 |
| 20160033077 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PAYLOAD STABILIZATION - Systems and methods are provided for supporting and articulating a payload using stabilization platform. The stabilization platform may be configured to avoid gimbal lock. The stabilization platform may be configured to automatically transition between different modes of orientation. | 02-04-2016 |
| 20160062216 | CAMERA FLOAT - A hand grip designed to be used in or near water that may be connected to either an image capturing device or the case that holds the image capturing device. The hand grip has a main body with a first end and a second end and a mounting piece located on at least one of the first end or the second end of the main body that allows for attachment of image capturing devices. The hand grip is adapted to float in water to provide angles and views of photographs from an image capturing device connected to the mounting piece while in the water. | 03-03-2016 |
| 20160091139 | SELFIE DEVICE HOLDER - A portable electronic device holder allows for quick mounting and telescoping of a cell phone or smart phone to enable a convenient recording of a selfie image. The device holder has a clamp section having a fixed thirty degree orientation relative to a telescoping handle section. The fixed angle reduces mounting complexity of the device as well as enhancing portability of the device holder. The clamp section also has a hinge that reduces the size of the clamp section when not in use, thereby further enhancing the portability of the device holder. The telescoping handle has an elliptical shape and or a groove that increases strength and durability, as well as enabling a secure holding of the device holder in operation while facilitating a natural horizontal orientation of the camera for recording of the selfie. | 03-31-2016 |
