The invention relates to a system and a method for recording animals with a 3-D camera unit which is designed for producing at least one three-dimensional image of an animal, a computer unit which is designed for determining a weight of the animal based on the at least one three-dimensional image and with a data memory, in which weight data can be saved for each animal.

A coupler for coupling to a provided article of wear comprises a base plate and a clip. The coupler may be configured to provide a mount interface on an article of wear for an accessory to mount to. The base plate may comprise one or more structures configured to engage one or more respective portions of the clip over the provided article of wear. The clip may be shaped to interlock with the structures of the base plate. The clip may engage the base plate in a series of actions. The series of actions may be repeated in reverse to disengage the clip from the base plate. The series of actions for disengaging the clip from the base plate may reduce a likelihood of the clip in being unintentionally decoupled from the base plate, thereby increasing a likelihood that the coupler remains coupled to an article of wear.

Embodiments describe a holder and an easel for holding and/or display one or more items. The holder and the easel are formed from a single piece of material.

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 device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.

A fixing device adapted for a camera having a threaded hole and for a strap with two opposite ends fixed to the camera is provided. The fixing device includes a main body and a threaded post connected to the main body. The main body is configured to be removably disposed on the strap, and the threaded post is configured to be screwed into the threaded hole of the camera. When the main body is disposed on the strap and the threaded post is screwed into the threaded hole, the fixing device divides the strap into a first section and a second section that respectively form a first area and a second area with the camera.

A sling for a firearm or luggage is provided comprising a pad comprising a single layer closed cell foam body defining a first surface and a second surface and a plurality of slots extending therethrough from the upper surface to the lower surface; and a binding secured to the periphery of the pad. The pad can be configured in a variety of ways to provide slings for carrying firearms and luggage. An embodiment of the pad is a backpanel having four sides and four corners that can be releasably connected to a chest pack such as a binocular case.

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 mounting device includes an internal member and an external member. The internal member includes first magnets disposed in an inner face of the internal member, a shock cavity formed in the inner face of the internal member, and an insert disposed in the shock cavity. The external member is removably coupled to the internal member. The external member includes second magnets disposed in an inner face of the external member. The second magnets are rotatable between a locking position and a release position. The external member also includes a shock ridge formed in the inner face of the external member. The shock ridge is received into the shock cavity and compresses the insert such that impact is dampened during coupling of the internal member to the external member.

A handheld camera support assembly includes a support assembly coupled to a harness, with the harness secured around the torso and shoulders of an operator during use. The support assembly includes an arm receiving pocket that is pivotally coupled to a torso panel with the arm receiving pocket configured for receiving an arm of the operator. A camera assist mount is coupled to the arm receiving pocket to provide a mounting or positioning point for a handheld camera during use by the operator.
