A gas cylinder quick release device has a cylindrical upper assembly, a cylindrical lower assembly arranged below the upper assembly on a common axis, and a handle which is mounted to move between a first position and a second position. Movement of the handle from the first position to the second position imparts axial displacement of the upper and lower assemblies away from each other along the axis, thereby breaking a press-fit engagement of a wheelbase otherwise secured on the gas cylinder.

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.

An apparatus comprising an arm with a depending hollow attachment housing, into which is inserted a corresponding attachment portion of a depending device. The housing and attachment portion both have corresponding openings which come into alignment when the attachment portion is inserted into the housing. The apparatus comprises a securing segment which passes through the aligned openings in the housing and attachment portion to prevent the vertical separation of the housing and attachment portion, and a sleeve which surrounds the housing and is vertically moveable between a first position wherein it exposes the openings and securing segment and a second position wherein it covers the securing segment thereby preventing the securing segment from becoming dislodged. The housing comprises a removable delimiter which reduces the allowable vertical movement of the sleeve so that its vertical movement is restricted so as to prevent the sleeve adopting its first position.

A pivoting support assembly with a selective position locking capability may comprise a base, a first support arm movable with respect to the base, a first pivot joint pivotally mounting the first support arm to the base, and a first position locking assembly configured to lock a selected position of the first support arm with respect to the base. The first position locking assembly may comprise a first hydraulic motor mounted on the first pivot joint and having a fluid input and a fluid output with a fluid path defined therebetween such that fluid movement on the fluid path between the fluid input and the fluid output operates the first hydraulic motor. The first position locking assembly may comprise a first lock valve in communication with the first hydraulic motor and configured to selectively block fluid movement through the fluid path of the motor.

A stabilizer folding structure and a handheld stabilizer. a stabilizer folding structure for rotationally connecting the motor base and the rocker arm such that the motor base and the rocker arm have an unfolded first state and a stored second state during relative rotation, comprising: an elastic member, applying An elastic force for abutting the motor base and the rocker arm; and a snap structure at a position where the motor base abuts the rocker arm, in the first state and the second state, The snap structure is engaged to restrict relative rotation of the motor base and the rocker arm. In other states, the snap structure is disengaged such that the motor base and the rocker arm are relatively rotatable. The folding structure of aspects of the invention facilitates the folding and storage of the stabilizer, and is convenient for the user to use.

An improved camera device is a 360-degree image capturing camera with a motion sensor that is able to take panoramic view pictures. The main body is circular shaped and may be able to rotate on a central axis to align with the direction of anything that activates the motion sensor for optimal images or video.
