This application discloses a stand assembly that includes an upper portion for holding electronic components and a lower portion for supporting the upper portion. The lower portion including a base, a joint, and a second fastener structure configured to mate with a first fastener structure of the upper portion. The first fastener structure and the joint are configured to respectively provide a first degree of freedom of motion and a second degree of freedom of motion of the upper portion with respect to the lower portion. Movement of the upper portion at the first degree of freedom has substantially consistent resistance through first part of a first full range of motion associated with the first degree of freedom of motion. Movement of the upper portion at the second degree of freedom has substantially consistent resistance through a second full range of motion associated with the second degree of freedom.

The present disclosure relates to a tripod comprising a connecting element, at least three legs coupled to said connecting element, each leg being divided into at least two sections able to slide with respect to each other. Each leg provides locking and unlocking means of the sliding movement between the sections of the respective leg. Said tripod further provides an actuation element of said locking and unlocking means. Said tripod is characterized in that said actuation element is arranged on said connecting element, and in comprising transmission means arranged on the connecting element connected to said actuation element and to said locking/unlocking means of each leg and in that said tripod is configured so that by acting on said actuation element said transmission means act simultaneously on said locking/unlocking means of each leg preventing/allowing the sliding movement between said sections of each leg.

An apparatus for use with an electronic communication device having a camera to take a selfie picture or video. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a mirror comprising a mirror surface. The apparatus further comprises a fastener directly connected to the mirror surface. The fastener is adapted to receive the electronic communication device to position the camera in front of the mirror surface. The apparatus may further comprise a plurality of light sources and a control circuit adapted to activate the plurality of light sources.

A universal telescoping structural support device with a right side configuration, comprising a right female telescoping sleeve with a substantially rectangular shape that is open on one side; a right male telescoping sleeve with a substantially rectangular shape that is open on one side; wherein the male sleeve is configured to telescope in movement within and along a length of the female sleeve and wherein the female sleeve is configured to telescope in movement around and along a length of the male sleeve.

The present disclosure relates to a plane-distributed load sharing pressure device and a use method thereof. The plane-distributed load sharing pressure device includes a first-stage balance rod to an Nth-stage balance rod, N≥2. The middle part of the first-stage balance rod is hinged to a force applying member. The two ends of the first-stage balance rod are respectively perpendicular to and hinged to the middle parts of second-stage balance rods. The two ends of the second-stage balance rod are respectively perpendicular to and hinged to the middle parts of third-stage balance rods. Similarly, the two ends of an (N−1)th-stage balance rod are respectively perpendicular to and hinged to the middle parts of Nth-stage balance rods. Force bearing members used for resolving a force applied by the force applying member to target members are arranged at the two ends of the Nth-stage balance rods.

A tripod includes a main body having a center column with a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a longitudinal axis extending through the first end and the second end, and a plurality of legs coupled to the center column. The tripod system also includes a battery receptacle supported at the first end of the center column. The battery receptacle has a first interface configured to mechanically and electrically couple to a battery pack. The tripod system further includes a head supported at the second end of the center column. The head has a second interface configured to mechanically and electrically couple to a luminaire. The second interface is complementary to the first interface.
