A multi-functional self-timer lever includes a support Device coupled to a casing pipe attachable to a lower part of a telescopic rod. The support device includes a pivot seat fixed to the casing pipe, three feet of which tops are coupled pivotally to the pivot seat, and a positioning mechanism for limiting the expansion angles of the feet. Such a structure provides a tripod function in a most compact way by configuring the feet capable of being expanded relatively to the casing pipe and collapsed into one body relatively to the contour of the casing pipe directly on the casing pipe operated in coordination with the telescopic rod. Therefore, the entire structure is compact, fast and convenient in expansion and collapse, and small in volume so as to be convenient for carry.

A video recording device, holster and article of clothing are disclosed to reliably and covertly provide for the capture of video, audio, and metadata, and perform other commands. The holster may be provided with a carrier that is, in turn, inserted into the holster. In one embodiment, the holster may be confirmed as being associated with the video recording device to authenticate a user, and establishes a docked position. Moreover, the video recording device may enter a mode of operation associated with using the video recording apparatus automatically when inserted into a holster.

A swivel camera mount is configured to attach a camera to a mount base which, in turn, may be secured to sport equipment, musical instruments, vehicles, and the like. The swivel camera mount includes an inner rotating component that couples to a camera or camera housing and allows a user to rotate a camera within a horizontal plane. The inner rotating component is securely coupled within an outer sleeve component by a coupling mechanism that allows the swivel camera mount and a coupled camera or camera housing to couple to the mount base. Additionally, the outer sleeve component includes protrusions that allow the swivel mount component to pivot in one or more vertical planes.

A docking system for the interchangeable attachment of personal devices such as lights, electronic devices, popular survival and safety equipment and the like, to the outer face of an article of clothing. It has a pair of discs held in a parallel, spaced arrangement by a pair of opposing stanchions so that a slot is created between the disks and the stanchions. Into this slot may be inserted an engageable tab connected normally to an arm that is affixed to, or extends from a personal device, such as an emergency light. The emergency light has a plethora of lighting modes that regulate which of the numerous disposed LEDs will be illuminated and in what pattern.

A camera mountable arm includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment includes a recess extending substantially along a length of the first segment, and is configured to detachably couple to a camera. The first segment is rotatably coupled to the second segment and the second segment is rotatably coupled to the third segment. The arm is operable in a plurality of positions, including: a folded position, where the first, second, and third segments are aligned to be mutually length-wise parallel such that the second segment is enclosed within the recess along the first segment, and the first and second segments are substantially flush with the third segment; and an outstretched position, where the first and second segments are separated by a first angular displacement and the second and third segments by a second angular displacement.

A camera mount for coupling a camera to a user's wrist is described. The camera mount includes a swivel component that rotates relative to a wrist component when an above-threshold amount of force is applied on the swivel component. A rippled spring component is coupled between the swivel component and the wrist component, and exerts an outward force upon the swivel component in response to a compressive force exerted on the rippled spring component by the swivel component. A strap couples to each of two sides of the wrist mount component, and is configured to secure the camera mount to the user's wrist. The camera mount can additionally include a base component and a padding component, and a screw to couple each camera mount component together.

Laminate lanyards and methods for making the same are disclosed. The laminate lanyards may include a head formed from a reinforcing loop of yarn incorporated within a scrim. The head can be coupled to the head section of a body, which also includes a main section that forms the loop of the laminate lanyard. A gusset can be coupled to ends of the main section of the body to couple the two ends of the body together and facilitate opening and closing of the loop of the laminate lanyard. A slider may also be included in laminate lanyard for adjusting the size of the loop.

A clip for mounting devices on a hat brim includes a first and second panel. The panels are each resiliently connected to a nose portion and separated by a spacing that tapers to a contact point from the distal portions of the panels to their proximal portions. The second panel has a wedge-shaped portion in which the width of the panel increases from its distal end to its proximal end. The bottom surface of the first panel is concave, the preferable concavity being close to that of the curvature of a hat brim. The top surface of the second panel is convex. The preferable convexity is close to that of the curvature of the brim. The top surface of the second panel includes a channel adapted to receive the fabric border of the undersurface of a hat brim. The top surface of the first panel includes at its proximal end structure adapted to receive an accessory device.

A collapsible device stand with a large folding arm and a variable position spring loaded sliding rail carrier with a small folding arm. Primarily used for holding an object at an angle or vertically. This device can hold a mobile device, tablet, or cell phone from below or from the side. The sliding rail carrier locks into place by upwards force using friction between the rail carrier and main body track produced by one or more sliding rail carrier springs. This stand collapses completely into the main housing when both arms are folded down and the sliding rail arm is slipped into a cavity in the fixed position folding arm. The main housing cap includes a keychain hole. An optional configuration includes a tripod mounting socket used to mount this device to a tripod.
