This invention relates generally to the field of sporting and leisure activities such as hunting, cycling, and photography. A connector (10) for detachably connecting an object (12) to an article of equipment (14), the connector comprising a base (16) fittable on or to the article of equipment, or integral with the article of equipment, the base including one of a recess and an elongate projection, and the object including the other of a recess and an elongate projection, the connector further including slidable locking means (28) which slides transversely to and engages with the projection when the projection is inserted in the recess, to securely retain the projection within the recess until the slidable locking means is operated by a user to permit removal of the projection from the recess. One of the recess and projection may include cooperating magnetic means which encourages engagement of the projection within the recess.

A telescoping support stand comprising handle mounted below a connection housing and a plurality of extendable legs pivotably engaged near the top of the connection housing.

Disclosed herein is a rotational roller apparatus for use with a pipeline unit. The pipeline unit is received in a pipeline for welding and/or inspection. The rotational roller is attached to and is able to support at least a portion of the weight of the pipeline unit. The rotational roller unit also includes an extension member and a reduced friction base. The reduced friction base is attached to an end of the extension member so that the rotational roller has a retracted and an extended configuration. In the extended configuration, the reduced friction base contacts an interior of the pipeline and supports at least a portion of the weight of the pipeline unit and thereby allows the unit to be rotated about a longitudinal axis within the pipeline.

There is provided a portable system which includes a central cylindrical control module having a central axis and a lower body portion. The cylindrical control module has at least one telescopic arm which is contained within the cylindrical control module in a first locked position in the lower body portion and in a second unlocked position the telescopic arm is capable of extending and rotating vertically and horizontally to a selected location. The telescopic arm receiving a periphery device in a receiving slot at an end of the telescopic arm which electronically connects with said central control module.

An elevating mechanism adapted to accommodate a function unit and including main frame, elevating frame, and accommodation frame. The main frame has first guide portion including straight portion and non-straight portion. The elevating frame is movably disposed on the main frame. The accommodation frame is pivotably connected to the elevating frame and has second guide portion slidably located at the first guide portion. When the accommodation frame is in non-inclined position, the second guide portion is located at the straight portion. When the accommodation frame is in inclined position, the second guide portion is located at the non-straight portion and the accommodation frame is inclined with respect to the main frame.
