MULTI-SUPPORT ACCESSORY WITH INTEGRATED POWER SUPPLY FOR IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICES
An accessory for an image capture device is disclosed that includes: a body; a rotatable first support that is configured for connection to the image capture device; a second support that is pivotably reconfigurable between stowed and deployed configurations; and a third support including first and second legs that are pivotably connected to the body such that the third support is reconfigurable between collapsed and expanded configurations. In the stowed configuration, the second support is concealed within the body, and in the deployed configuration, the second support extends outwardly from the body to facilitate connection of the accessory to an ancillary product. In the collapsed configuration, the third support defines a grip for the image capture device, and in the expanded configuration, the body defines a third leg that cooperates with the first and second legs to provide a freestanding base for the image capture device.
EXPANDABLE DEVICE FOR A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An expandable device includes a base having a top side and a bottom side, an expanding mechanism operably coupled to the base, and a button. The bottom side of the base is adapted to engage a portion of a portable electronic device. The button has a top side and a bottom side and is operably coupled to the expanding mechanism. The expanding mechanism is selectively movable between a first configuration whereby the button is disposed in a first, collapsed configuration and a second configuration whereby the button is disposed in a second, expanded configuration. Upon urging the button to the first configuration, the expandable device retains the button in the first configuration, and upon further urging the button towards the base, the button is released from the first configuration and moves to the second configuration

GRIP FOR A FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An expandable device for attachment to a foldable electronic device having first and second surfaces includes a button and a pivotable frame member. The button has a top side, a bottom side, and a coupling portion and is movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The pivotable frame member is operably coupled to the button and includes a device coupling portion that engages a portion of the foldable electronic device. The pivotable frame member is pivotable between a first configuration whereby the button is positioned along at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the foldable electronic device and a second configuration whereby the button is positioned away from the foldable electronic device.
Multi-function controller mount
A multi-function controller mount is configured or adapted for use with a game controller and an electronic device. The mount includes a controller receiver for removably attaching to the game controller. The mount also includes an arm having a first end pivotably attached to the controller receiver at a first pivot axis. The mount also includes a device tray that is pivotably attached to a second end of the arm at a second pivot axis. The device tray is configured for holding the smartphone at an adjustable height and viewing angle. The height and the viewing angle are adjustable through movement or the arm at the first pivot axis and movement of the device tray at the second pivot axis. The mount also includes a lock feature attached to the arm for selectively preventing movement of the arm relative to the controller receiver.

MAGNET-BASED QUICK RELEASE ASSEMBLY AND GIMBAL SYSTEM
A quick release assembly and gimbal system are disclosed. The gimbal system includes a handheld gimbal and an apparatus for mounting an electronic structure on the handheld gimbal. The handheld gimbal includes a handheld structure, a gimbal body operably coupled with the handheld structure, and a connector assembly operably coupled with the gimbal body. The connector assembly includes a first set of attraction structures. The apparatus includes a mounting structure attachable to the electronic structure. The mounting structure includes a second set attraction structures. The first set of attraction structures are configured to attach to the second set of magnets, the first set of attraction structures and the second set of attraction structures configured to cause at least one of the connector assembly or the mounting structure to rotate in a direction such that the mounting structure is coupled to the connector assembly.
PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND PIVOTING MECHANISM THEREOF
A pivoting mechanism for an electronic device includes a pivot shaft, a first connecting member disposed on the pivot shaft for being connected with a support of the electronic device, a second connecting member disposed on the pivot shaft for connected with a main body of the electronic device, and a torque adjusting assembly. The torque adjusting assembly includes four sleeves and an elastic member through which the pivot shaft is disposed. Each of the sleeves includes at least one protrusion. The protrusion of one of the four sleeves is slidable relative to the protrusion of another sleeve for adjusting an amount of deformation of the elastic member. A portable electronic device including a main body, a support and the pivoting mechanism is provided.
