A collapsible curved support track system for a camera slider dolly includes a plurality of curved inner and outer rail segments each having an outer configuration enabling a first set of rollers of the camera slider dolly to smoothly roll thereon. Connectors disposed within adjacent open ends of the inner and outer rail segments enable manual detachable connection between inner rail segments to form a curved inner rail and a curved outer rail. Supports in spaced relation support the inner and outer rails to form a generally parallel curved track. The supports have mounts configured to removably receive a portion of the inner rail or outer rail. A plurality of the mounts are adjustable to enable adjustment of the inner or outer rails associated therewith.

A motorized high mast pole inspection device that is self-powered and autonomous with respect to the internal lever of a high mast pole. The inspection device provides a means for mechanically climbing a vertical, cylindrical, tubular high mast light pole. Video monitoring and recording equipment may be deployed on the device for inspecting high mast light poles.

A movable platform includes a housing having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side having a first port and the second side having a second port. The first and second ports are configured to receive a drive line that has at least one flat side in a twist resistant manner. The movable platform also includes a drive mechanism disposed between the first port and the second port for engaging the drive line, and a support member disposed adjacent to the drive mechanism for guiding the drive line toward or away from the drive mechanism. The movable platform further includes a motor operatively connected to the drive mechanism. The motor provides power to the drive mechanism and causes the drive mechanism to rotate.

A sliding block of an angle-adjustable photographic sliding rail comprises a sliding block body, an angle adjustment plate having one end swingingly connected on the sliding block body via a rotating shaft, and a stepless adjustment strutting structure arranged between the sliding block body and the angle adjustment plate. When the photographic sliding rail cannot be put in place and needs to be tilted for use, the stepless adjustment strutting structure can be loosened first, and then the angle adjustment plate can be swung and opened such that a lens of a camera or video camera on the angle adjustment plate is at a horizontal position, to achieve the angle adjustment of the angle adjustment plate.

Various systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system comprises a track comprising one or more sections, the track including track indicators readable by a track indicator sensor and used to determine a dolly's position on the track, and the dolly including one or more sensors and a processor, the one or more sensors including the track indicator sensor, the processor executing instructions that control an operation of the dolly including moving the dolly at least semi-autonomously along the track based on the track indicators, wherein moving the dolly at least semi-autonomously includes one of moving the dolly autonomously and moving the dolly semi-autonomously.

A support for a camera dolly comprising spaced-apart first and second rails comprised of longitudinal rail members. The first rail has a first seam between its rail members, and the second rail has a second seam between its rail members. The first seam in the first rail is directly opposed from a corresponding second seam in the second rail. The first and second seams have first and second leading edges formed at crowns on the first and second rails, and the leading edge of the first seam is offset longitudinally with respect to the leading edge of the corresponding second seam.

An inspection apparatus includes an inspection unit for inspecting an inspection target, and a positioning unit for supporting the inspection target and positioning the inspection target to an inspection position.

The technical objective of the present disclosure is to provide an apparatus for driving a three-dimensional microgravity cable that can reproduce microgravity environments such as those experienced on the moon or Mars. To this end, the apparatus for driving a three-dimensional microgravity cable of the present disclosure comprises: a frame unit for forming a virtual space; a wire unit comprising three or more wires, provided at the frame unit; a winch unit for winding or unwinding each of the three or more wires; tension measuring units, respectively provided at the three or more wires, for measuring the tensions of the respective wires; a position sensing unit, provided at the frame unit, for sensing the position of a participant; and a support unit, positioned in the virtual space, for supporting the participant by the three or more wires.

An aerial camera system including a plurality of main reels, a camera interface/safety reel and a stabilized camera head. The camera head is supported from main cables from the main reels with a safety reel cable providing power, data and video communication between the camera head and a main computer system. Each of the main reels, the camera interface/safety reel and the camera head are in communication with the main computer system, which controls the feeding and reeling in of the main cables. Further, the computer system controls the feeding and reeling in of the safety reel cable, which typically only follows the camera head as it moves in three-dimensional space, but may in emergency mode support the weight of the camera head and be used to slowly pull the camera head up and out of the way so that it does not interfere with any activity below the flight area.

A camera mounting wheeled tray may comprise a main tray body having a first end, a second end, a top side and a bottom side. The camera mounting wheeled tray may comprise a plurality of wheels, at least some of the plurality of wheels being located on the bottom side of the main tray body and configured to engage with and roll along two perpendicular bars. It may also comprise at least one tray safety comprising a first section that extends perpendicularly downward from the main tray body and a second section configured to, when in an engaged position, extend parallel to the main tray body and underneath at least one of the two perpendicular bars. The camera mounting wheeled tray may also comprise a friction brake and a plurality of mounting holes for cameras on the main tray body.
