A monopod includes an elongated housing and a pneumatic actuator having a cylinder bounding a compartment in which a pressurized fluid and/or gas is contained, and an elongated piston having a piston head mounted in the compartment and a piston rod movable along a longitudinal axis through an upper open end of the housing when the pressurized fluid is released. A support for a portable device, such as a camera, is mounted on the piston rod exteriorly of the housing. A foot-operated control is mounted on the housing adjacent its base. The control is movable by pressure exerted by a user's foot to a control position in which the pressurized fluid and/or gas is released to jointly move the piston rod and the support to an adjustable elevation relative to the base.

A support for an imaging device includes a first rotatable assembly supportable by a support that rotates in a generally horizontal plane and a horizontal locking member. The imaging device includes a second rotatable assembly that rotates in a generally vertical plane. imaging device includes an interconnection structure that interconnects the first rotatable assembly to the second rotatable assembly such that the second rotatable assembly is rotatable around the first rotatable assembly at an elevation higher than the first rotatable assembly and offset laterally from the first rotatable assembly. imaging device includes the first rotatable assembly including a panning structure that rotates the support in the generally horizontal plane and a leveling base that is rotatable in a non-coplanar manner relative to the panning structure.

Disclosed is a bracket, including: a vertical rod; and at least three supporting members. The at least three supporting member are installed at a lower end of the vertical rod, one end of each supporting member is connected to the vertical rod, another end of each supporting member is abutted against a supporting surface. The at least one supporting member is slidably arranged on the vertical rod along an axial direction of the vertical rod, and at least one supporting member is rotatable along an outer circumference of the vertical rod.

Aspects of the invention disclose a telescopic support leg, which includes a top leg tube, a middle leg tube and an bottom leg tube that are arranged sequentially from outside to inside. A first locking member includes a movable tube and a limiting plate, with a middle inner brace and an outer brace. A second locking member includes an inner tube and an elastic sleeve. The middle leg tube is secured to the inner support while moving relative to the inner tube, thereby allowing the elastic sleeve to function as the inner tube lock the outer wall of the bottom leg tube or loosen the elastic sleeve and the inner tube of the bottom leg tube.

A mounting bracket apparatus for adjustably supporting a flat panel display from a wall. The mounting bracket includes a wall bracket, a display bracket and two traversing mounts. The traversing mounts are supportively disposed between the wall bracket and the display bracket, and driven along a pair of substantially parallel linear axes by a pair of actuators enabling vertical adjustment of the display bracket. The traversing mounts are flexibly coupled between the wall bracket and the display bracket, thereby enabling misalignment of the positions to adjust the skew of the display bracket relative to the wall bracket.

A mounting system that includes a second frame assembly movable relative to a first frame assembly and including a first and second hooks that engage/disengage first and second openings of the first frame assembly to secure the mounting system in a position; first and second release members configured to move the first and second hooks, respectively, to engage/disengage the associated opening upon movement of the release member; and a linkage assembly configured to communicate movement of one release member to move the other release member. The linkage assembly including a first link member operatively coupled to the first release member, a second link member operatively coupled to the second release member, and a third link member coupled to the first and second link members, such that movement of one of the first and second link members moves the other of the first and second link members.

A vibration isolation mount, including a vibration damping element having an interior space disposed between a tubular member and a vibration damping wall, the tubular member and the vibration damping wall interconnected by one or more partition walls.

An expandable socket for attachment to a portable media player or a portable media player case. The expandable socket generally includes a base, a button, and a spring. The base is adapted to engage a portion of the portable media player or the portable media player case. The button is spaced from and movable relative to the base. The spring is disposed between the base and the button, the spring arranged to resist movement of the button toward the base.

A skid assembly includes a base assembly and a slide assembly, each having a first end and a second end, wherein: the slide assembly comprises a first support station toward the first end and a second support station toward the second; each support station is configured to support a separate component of a BOP assembly; and the slide assembly is movable between a retracted position in which the first and second ends of the slide assembly overlie the first and second ends, respectively, of the base assembly, and an extended position in which the first end of the slide assembly extends beyond the first end of the base assembly to position the first support station, with the BOP assembly assembled thereon, directly over a well head located within a cellar at a well site with the base assembly supported atop a ground surface adjacent to an edge of the cellar.
