A handheld platform includes an imaging device configured to obtain image data, a gimbal assembly coupled to the imaging device and configured to permit movement of the imaging device with respect to at least a first axis and a second axis that are non-orthogonal to each other, and a handheld support coupled to the gimbal assembly. The handheld support includes an input interface configured to receive a user input to control the imaging device or the gimbal assembly and a controller configured to generate one or more control signals based at least in part on the user input.

A protection and stabilization assembly for handheld electronic devices includes a shell that defines an interior space, which is substantially complementary to a handheld electronic device. The shell has a front, back, bottom and opposing sides. The front is substantially open and is configured such that the handheld electronic device is insertable into the interior space. Each opposing end of a strap is coupled to the shell proximate to a respective opposing side. The strap is resilient and overlays a portion of the back proximate to the bottom. The improvement is the strap positioned on the shell. The strap is configured to insert two or more fingers of a hand of a user between the strap and the shell. The handheld electronic device is stabilized in the hand of the user with a thumb of the hand free to manipulate controls on a front face of the handheld electronic device.

An apparatus that facilitates one-handed use of a mobile device has a finger brace coupled a plurality of flexible lengths. At least one of the flexible lengths is coupled to an intermediate point of the finger brace. Each of the flexible lengths is coupled to the mobile device at its rear-facing back. At least two of the flexible lengths are coupled at opposed ends of the rear-facing back. The length of the flexible lengths and where they are coupled to the brace and mobile device are such that two fingers of the user's hand can press against the finger brace on opposed sides of the intermediate point to brace the mobile device when the two fingers are between the finger brace and the mobile device.

A container for holding and delivering liquids is disclosed. A method of making the same is disclosed. The container can have a molded container top, a molded container bottom, a flexible film reservoir, and a handle extending from the container top to the container bottom. The reservoir can be laterally exposed around the entire circumference of the reservoir along a part of the longitudinal length of the reservoir. A thermally insulated reservoir system is disclosed. The reservoir system can have a bag having a multi-layered bag wall. The bag wall can have a first layer sealed to a second layer. The volume defined between the first layer and the second layer can be partially or completely filled with a fluid insulator, such as air or saline solution. The volume defined between the first layer and the second layer can also or alternately be partially or completely filled with a solid insulator, such as a matted fiber layer.

The present invention is a portable device accessory that includes a cover, a plurality of hooks, a connector, a first adhesive pad, and a second adhesive pad. The first adhesive pad is attached to one side of the connector. The other side of the connector is attached to a portable device, such as mobile phone, by the second adhesive pad. The user may remove the cover to reveal the first adhesive pad, then temporary attaches the first adhesive pad to a mounting surface so the user may take a selfie with the portable device. After the portable device accessory is detached from the mounting surface, the user may place the cover over the first adhesive pad and pressed the cover and the connector towards each other thus enabling the plurality of attachments to be frictionally attach around a lateral wall of the connector.
