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.

A robotic mount is configured to move an entertainment element such as a video display, a video projector, a video projector screen or a camera. The robotic mount is moveable in multiple degrees of freedom, whereby the associated entertainment element is moveable in three-dimensional space. In one embodiment, a system of entertainment elements are made to move and operate in synchronicity with each other, such as to move a single camera via multiple robotic mounts to one or more positions or along one or more paths.

A camera gimbal has a gearbox including a housing containing therein a central main gear secured to a bearing shaft in a fixed-position relative to the bearing shaft and at least one rotary damper secured to the housing at a fixed-location relative to the housing. The at least one rotary damper is engaged with the central main gear in a manner permitting rotation of the at least one rotary damper about a periphery of the main central gear such that the housing rotates about an axis of rotation extending longitudinally through the bearing shaft and the central main gear. A camera-mount extends from the housing. Gravity acting on the mass/weight of the camera and a counterweight causes rotation of the gearbox to maintain the camera in a relatively level position while the at least one rotary damper damps the rotational movement of the gearbox.

Disclosed is a counterbalance apparatus, and a method for counterbalancing using an apparatus, having a center of motion that is internal or external to the apparatus. The apparatus and method are adapted to support a payload, having a load vector applied in a direction of the vector or gravity, that is positioned distal to the center of motion. The apparatus includes a gimbal adapted to support the payload and allow for its rotational movement about the center of motion generating a load torque therefrom, and a resilient member adapted to engage the gimbal and supply a support torque to counterbalance the load torque. The method includes a step of supporting the payload with a gimbal adapted to allow rotational movement of the payload about the center of motion to generate a load torque therefrom, and a step of configuring a resilient member to engage the gimbal and supply a support torque to counterbalance the load torque.

A lens bracket assembly for supporting an imaging device. The imaging device includes a body and a lens connected to the body. The lens bracket assembly includes a mounting plate, a supporting plate configured for carrying the imaging device, and a bracket. The mounting plate includes a first surface and two inner sidewalls extended from two opposing ends of the first surface along a direction substantially perpendicular to the first surface. The two inner sidewalls provide first sliding slots. The supporting plate includes a first side and two outer sidewalls providing second sliding slots, and is slidably disposed on the mounting plate with the second sliding slots matching the first sliding slots at corresponding positions. The bracket is coupled to the first side of the supporting plate, and includes a shape that matches the lens of the imaging device.

A stop device includes a first shift lever including a first shifting part configured to rotate around a rotation axis to form a first motion trajectory, and a second shift lever including a second shifting part partially within the first motion trajectory. The first shifting part drives the second shifting part to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft to form a second motion trajectory. The stop device further includes a stopping boss located on a periphery of the first motion trajectory and partially within the second motion trajectory. The second shift lever rotates to drive the second shifting part to contact a first side of the stopping boss when rotating in a first direction and to contact a second side of the stopping boss facing away from the first boss when rotating in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A mount for an input device that is capable of moving or being adjusted in up to nine different axes or directions, but is still stable and sturdy enough to support the necessary weight while the input device is being operated. The mount is made of a number of sleeves, shafts and pivot joints that allow the position of the input device to be moved relative to the vehicle and/or user in up to nine different directions making the mount accessible for almost any disabled driver. Shafts and sleeves are joined together such that the length of a shaft can essentially be shortened by inserting part or the entire shaft into a sleeve. In addition, the sleeves are positioned such that parts of the mount can rotate around the other parts of the mount. Moreover, one or more pivot joints allows for additional mobility.

The present disclosure discloses a lens bracket assembly for supporting an imaging device. The imaging device includes a body and a lens connected to the body. The lens bracket assembly includes a supporting plate and a bracket. The supporting plate is used for mounting the imaging device, and the supporting plate includes a first side. The bracket includes a supporting portion of which the shape matches the lens of the imaging device and a fixing portion connected with the supporting portion. The fixing portion is fixedly arranged at the first side. The supporting portion is used for supporting the lens. The present disclosure further relates to a gimbal that uses the lens bracket assembly.

An equatorial mount having a base, a right ascension base, a right ascension shaft, a declination base, a declination shaft, and a mount-rotation mechanism, the declination base rotatable about a right ascension axis relative to the right ascension base, and the declination shaft rotatable about a declination axis relative to the declination axis, wherein the mount-rotation mechanism is engageable and disenagageable from one or the other of the right ascension shaft and the declination shaft, to apply torque between the declination base and that shaft when engaged and to permit relative rotation of the shaft and the declination base when disengaged.

Provided is a stylus pen holder, which includes a support having an elastic body with an elastic restoring force in a vertical direction, and a holder coupled to an upper end of the support and provided with a pen accommodation part having an upper surface input hole. Accordingly, a stylus pen such as a touch pen used with a smart phone or a tablet PC is safely stored or easily used in a public place such as an electronic product.
