A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket coupleable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.

A mechanical arm assembly which has two arm members connected by an elbow. The movable connectors at the end of each arm are connected by belts or the like to a locking mechanism at the elbow such that engaging the locking mechanism simultaneously locks both movable connectors as well as the elbow.

A mechanical hard stop for a sensor system includes a base for fixation to a gimbal or static structure, a movable stop member for engagement with a fixed stop member, and an actuator. The movable stop member has a disengaged position, proximate the base, and an engaged position, spaced apart from the base. The actuator is operably connected to the movable stop member to displace the movable stop member between the disengaged position and the engaged position according to a sensor selection received by the sensor system. Sensor systems and imaging methods are also described.

A circuit board of a payload includes a substrate, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) supported on a peninsula-like portion of the substrate and configured to measure a state of the payload. Only one side of the peninsula-like portion is attached to other portion of the substrate.

A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket coupleable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. Tilt adjustment mechanisms are used to adjust the tilt of the display bracket.

The invention relates to a subjective point-of-view recording device (60), which includes: a harness (10) attached to the body of a user; a camera (30) including at least one lens (305, 310) oriented in a direction, the camera being connected to the harness by a positionable arm running along the back of the user, and positioned above the user for point-of-view recording in said direction, the positionable arm including a rod for placing in position on the articulated harness with a rod for supporting the camera and at least one damper of the movement between the positioning rod and the supporting rod; and a means for stabilizing (20) the camera relative to the harness placed between the positionable arm and the camera.

A mobile three-dimensional (3D) measuring system includes a 3D measuring device, and a support apparatus. The 3D measuring device is coupled to the support apparatus. The support apparatus includes a pole mount that includes a gimbal at the top of the pole mount, wherein the 3D measuring device is attached to the gimbal. The support apparatus further includes a counterweight at the bottom of the pole mount, the counterweight matches a weight of the 3D measuring device.

A joint device includes a base seat having a mounting hole with a tapered portion, and a rotating seat rotatably connected to the base seat. The tapered portion has large and small diameter ends. A shaft assembly includes a rotating shaft fixed to the rotating seat and inserted into the mounting hole, a one-way bearing sleeved on and frictionally engaged with the rotating shaft, and a tightening member press-fitted between an inner surface of the base seat and the one-way bearing. The tightening member has a C-shaped body with a gap that gradually reduces as the tightening member gradually moves from the large to the small diameter ends of the tapered portion.

The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket coupleable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.

A biaxial pivoting mechanism configured for connecting an object to a holder includes a mount component, a rotatable connector, a main body and a mount base. The mount component is configured to be fixed to the object. The rotatable connector is rotatably disposed on the mount component about a first axis. The main body is fixed to the rotatable connector. The mount base is configured to be fixed to the holder, and the main body is rotatably disposed on the mount base about a second axis not parallel to the first axis. The main body has a first surface, a second surface, and an accommodating space. The first surface is located closer to the rotatable connector than the second surface. The accommodating space extends to the second surface from the first surface. At least part of the mount base is located in the accommodating space.
