A portable photo studio system includes a portable photo studio and an electronic device such as a camera-enabled smartphone. A computer system is provided that interacts with the electronic device. The computer system requests an image capture system. In response, the electronic device captures image data and shares it with the computer system. The computer system then analyzes the image data to identify areas of interest.

A portable, collapsible video production system includes a case having a top lid connected to a bottom lid, a lift rigidly secured within the case to the top lid or the bottom lid, and a collapsible camera system rigidly secured to a top of the lift. The camera system includes a bottom frame member housing a computer with a screen, a middle frame member housing a transparent substrate that, when angled with respect to the bottom frame member, is configured to project an image of the screen to a user facing the case, and a top frame member housing a camera that, when angled with respect to the bottom frame member, is configured to aim the camera through the transparent substrate at a user facing the case. The bottom frame, the middle frame, and the upper frame are pivotably connected to each other along a hinge axis.

A wearable digital video camera (10) is equipped with wireless connection protocol and global navigation and location positioning system technology to provide remote image acquisition control and viewing. The Bluetooth® packet-based open wireless technology standard protocol (400) is preferred for use in providing control signals or streaming data to the digital video camera and for accessing image content stored on or streaming from the digital video camera. The GPS technology (402) is preferred for use in tracking of the location of the digital video camera as it records image information. A rotating mount (300) with a locking member (330) on the camera housing (22) allows adjustment of the pointing angle of the wearable digital video camera when it is attached to a mounting surface.
