A flight-capable imaging system includes a set of parallel rails, a power source mounted to the set of parallel rails, an imaging device mounted to the set of parallel rails, an aerial vehicle body mounted to the set of parallel rails, a set of aerial vehicle arms attached to the aerial vehicle body that each include a set of propellers and a motor configured to turn the set of propellers to enable flight of the flight-capable imaging system, and at least one processing module configured to control the flight of the of the flight-capable imaging system based on controlling a motor speed of the motor of each of the set of aerial vehicle arms.

A camera mount with three magnetic pads acting as a tripod. Each of the magnetic pads is flexibly mounted to a base allowing them to move to conform with a curved surface thus maximising magnetic attachment. The base includes a thread on which a camera can be mounted directly or via a ball mount.

A camera head assembly for a camera, a camera including the camera head assembly and a method for mounting the camera head assembly. The camera head assembly includes a camera housing and at least one tray, wherein the housing includes at least one reference surface on its inner surface, and the at least one tray includes at least one reference surface corresponding to the reference surface of the housing, the least one reference surface of the at least one tray preferably being produced by cutting out, wherein the at least one tray is arranged inside the housing such that the at least one reference surface of the housing and the at least one reference surface of the at least one tray abut each other, and such that the tray is clamped between a first surface of the housing and a second surface of the housing.

A device to quickly attach a body camera to an extendable defense baton such as an ASP® friction baton or the like and allow it stream to a cell or other electronic device via a wireless connection. The attachment consists of a backplate having an aperture for an interlocking twist and lock mechanism that inserts into the aperture and interlocks the body camera to the backplate. The backplate in turn has a connection device that secures the backplate to an extendable defense baton. Optional lights with a power source permits a user to enhance building surveillance and/or in operation with checking for contraband or explosives on a vehicle or trailer.

Camera mounting assemblies and mounting plates. A mounting plate includes a body. The body includes a center portion. The body further includes an extension member extending away from the center portion in a coplanar direction. The body further includes a first mounting hole located on the extension member. The first mounting hole is configured to receive a first attachment. The body further includes a second mounting hole. The second mounting hole is located on the center portion and is configured to receive a second attachment, the second attachment being different than the first attachment. The body further includes an opening. The opening is located on the center portion and is configured to provide a path for an electrical conduit to be coupled to the second attachment.

A gimbal assembly is provided that allows for more than a single rotation about a rotational axis in both a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction.

Disclosed herein is a camera unit including a camera main body, and a stand configured to support the camera main body, in which the camera main body includes a light receiving section and a main body housing in which the light receiving section is accommodated, the stand includes a first arm portion configured to support the main body housing for pivotal motion such that an orientation in an upward and downward direction of an optical axis of the light receiving section is adjustable, and a second arm portion attached for pivotal motion to the first arm portion, and the main body hosing has a protrusion that projects downwardly at a lower portion of the camera unit in a use state of the camera unit.

A gimbal includes a control device configured to receive an action instruction including a press action instruction and, based on the action instruction, generate a control instruction including a switch control instruction for switching operating modes of the gimbal, a controlling assembly configured to receive the control instruction and generate a performing instruction based on the control instruction for controlling an optical device, and a performing assembly configured to receive and implement the performing instruction. The performing assembly is operably connected to the controlling assembly and supported on a top end of a support arm of the control device. The performing assembly comprises a first rotation member, a second rotation member, and a carrying member connected one to another, and first and second motors for driving the second rotation member and the carrying member to rotate relative to the first and second rotation members, respectively.

A gear fine-tuning pan-tilt includes a rotating base, a roll worm support seat, a roll adjusting assembly, a pitch adjusting assembly, and a bearing seat arranged in sequence from bottom to top; the pitch adjusting assembly of the complete gear structure is located on the above, and the roll adjusting assembly located below adopts an arc-shaped rack structure, which reduces the interference to the pitching movement of the upper assembly and makes the height of the pan-tilt smaller. The arc opening of the arc-shaped rack faces upwards, so that the rotation axis is closer to the center axis of the lens. The upper and lower combination of the two structures strengthens the swing ability of the top of the pan-tilt in the limited size. The structure is able to be aimed at the subject through the rotating base, and leveled the left and right, and determined the pitch angle.

A mount system for machine-vision equipment that is located and used outdoors is disclosed. The mount system has a rectangular base, a lower swivel, a puck, and an upper swivel, among other parts. The lower swivel has an aperture with a conical (tapered) surface sunk into its body. This inward-facing conical aperture corresponds in size, shape, and taper with a conical (tapered) protrusion located within the upper swivel. When the mount system is fully assembled, the lower swivel is fastened to the rectangular base using the puck. When fully assembled, a tapered-head screw fastens the upper swivel to the lower swivel by matching the tapered aperture with the conical protrusion.
