An adjustable support arm capable of providing users with a wide range of height, depth, tilt, and swivel options. The adjustable support arm may comprise an arm assembly releasably mounted to a base assembly. In further embodiments, the adjustable support arm may also comprise an articulating joint connected to the arm assembly, and an accessory bracket assembly connected to the articulating joint. A quick-release joint comprising a spring-loaded pivot latch may be utilized to releasably connect the arm assembly to the base assembly. To dampen side-to-side movement of the arm assembly, the adjustable support arm may also comprise a friction cartridge assembly comprising a taper-lock bushing and one or more set screws. A ring-shaped, adjustable panning insert can be coupled to the arm assembly to restrict the range of side-to-side motion of the support arm. The adjustable arm can further comprise a quick-release accessory fastening mechanism for easy removal and attachment of a mounted object (e.g., an electronic display, keyboard, or other item) to the support arm.

A universal support apparatus for supporting different camera enabled mobile computer devices, such as laptop computers, tablets and cell phones, that have a display screen and camera coverage areas in front of the display screen and that are used for creating video sessions such as for on-line meetings, webinars and podcasts. The support apparatus includes mobile device support platform configured to support a laptop computer such that it's folded out display screen and camera can be positioned to face the user and an adaptor for the mobile device support platform for holding planar tablets, cell phones and the like in the same or similar user facing orientation.

A water-meter extension pole is an apparatus that positions a smart device beside a water meter in order to safely and accurately capture a water meter reading. The apparatus includes a length-adjustable pole, a first holder, a second holder, and a handle. The length-adjustable pole upholds and positions the first holder and the second holder a desired distance from the handle. The first holder is preferably a spring-loaded clamp that secures a water-meter. The second holder secures a smart device, preferably with a camera, beside the first holder. The handle provides a grip for a user with the length-adjustable pole. The smart device is remotely operated as the apparatus further includes a controller housing, a microcontroller, a wireless communication device, a power source, a power button, and a controller button. The controller housing contains the microcontroller, the wireless communication device, and the power source, preferably beside the handle.

An orbital camera system has at least two extensions that extend from a hub to rotate a camera about a hub in a balanced and low vibration manner. In addition, the exemplary orbital camera system is versatile in configuration having extensions with hinges to allow variations in the configuration. The hub may be powered by a motor that provides smooth rotation even at low speeds. The hub is coupled to a down rod and the motor may be detachably attached to the down rod. A counterweight may be a battery or a battery station that enables detachable attachment of a battery thereto. An illumination light is coupled to the hub to provide uniform light over the imaging area. A focal element and/or a centering light emitter may be configured along the rotational axis for aid in placing an object to be imaged.

A system for a bipod. The system includes a coupler to couple at least one leg to a firearm. The leg includes one flexible joint which allows the leg to flex about a flexible joint. The system allows conversion of the flexible leg from a flexible position to a rigid position whereby flexing about the flexible joint is prevented. A lock is manipulated to convert the leg from rigid to flexible.

A lift buffering structure includes a hollow column-shaped housing, a holding seat fixedly connected to an inner wall surface of the hollow column-shaped housing, an inner stem disposed in the hollow column-shaped housing and slidably extended through the holding seat, an elastic element having an end connected to the inner stem and another end to the holding seat to limit a travel stroke of the inner stem, an abutting unit disposed at one side of the holding seat opposite to the elastic element and having a width downward reduced gradually along a height direction of the hollow column-shaped housing, and an anti-slip unit connected to a lower end of the inner stem and located between the abutting unit and the inner wall surface of the hollow column-shaped housing. The lift buffering structure having the above structure can overcome a lot of problems in the conventional gas and oil struts.
