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.

A joint portion for angle adjustment arranged between a leg base portion and a leg support member of an imaging equipment-grade tripod includes a joint fixation member with a joint, a pole member having an upper end connected by the joint of the joint fixation member a lower end connected to the leg base portion, a sleeve provided below the joint fixation member and fitting to the joint fixation member, and a coil spring wound around a central axis of the pole member and pressing the sleeve upward. With the joint portion being fixed by fitting between the joint fixation member and the sleeve, the sleeve is pressed downward to release the fitting between the joint fixation member and the sleeve, so that the joint portion is released.

A multi-functional accessory includes an adjustable holder having an anterior side configured to receive and maintain the existing portable electronic device at a substantially stable position, a telescopic support pole detachably mated to the adjustable holder wherein the telescopic support pole has a centrally registered longitudinal y-axis, a base stand detachably coupled to the telescopic support pole and selectively oriented parallel to an x-axis registered orthogonal to the y-axis. Advantageously, the adjustable holder is selectively articulated about the x-axis and the y-axis. Notably, a user interface is configured to be in operable communication with the existing portable electronic device. Such a user interface includes an actuation button configured to execute at least one operational function selected from a group including taking a picture and recording a video at the existing portable electronic device.

Embodiments of portable electronic device holders and methods of manufacture of portable electronic device holders are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

A magnetic stand for a tablet device is disclosed. The magnetic stand is configured to rigidly hold a portion of the tablet device in place and to shield the magnetic field from adversely affecting nearby devices susceptible to strong magnetic fields. The shielding portion of the magnetic stand allows for significant increases in magnetic field strength when compared to similarly configured, unshielded products.

A monitor support device for mounting flat screen monitors upon stands. The monitor support device includes a support member adapted to be mounted to a monitor stand; and a bracket assembly removably mounted to the support member and adapted to be coupled to a monitor.

The invention is directed to a base for pieces of furniture having at least one supporting column structure. The base comprises a central hub receiving the lower end of a column and a number of arms radiating from the hub. The object of the invention is to provide a furniture base which allows varying its height. This is accomplished by changing the angle between hub and arms, or by shifting the points of attachment of the arms on the hub in the vertical direction.

Umbrella support apparatuses and kits are provided. The umbrella support apparatus may be used to support umbrellas where stability is desired. The umbrella support apparatus includes an umbrella or be used with existing umbrellas having a support shaft, a collar connected to an approximate mid-point of the support shaft, at least one auxiliary support shaft angularly connected to the collar with a connector for supporting the umbrella against an external force.

A laser level including a laser level body for projecting a laser beam, the laser level body including an adjustable stand having a left frame and a right frame independently manually displaceable between a fully closed frame position for storage purposes and a fully opened frame position for raising the laser level body to a maximum height above a horizontal reference surface. The adjustable stand enables the laser level body to be selectively inclined with respect to the horizontal reference surface.

A fixing bracket for a photographing device includes a rod member, a sliding member, and a plurality of supporting feet. The sliding member is slidably sleeved on an outer surface of the rod member, top ends of the plurality of supporting feet are hinged to the sliding member, and the supporting feet are swingable with respect to the sliding member, at least one limiting protrusion is disposed on the outer surface of the rod member close to a bottom end of the rod member, the at least one limiting protrusion is configured to block the sliding member or the supporting feet from sliding towards the bottom end of the rod member, the at least one limiting protrusion is disposed between the sliding member and the bottom end of the rod member. When the sliding member slides towards the bottom end of the rod member, the supporting feet are gradually unfolded.
