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.

An electronic device includes a body, electronic components contained in the body, and two finger members. The two finger members movable relative to the body between an extended state and a collapsed state. In the extended state, the two finger members extend outward from the body for receipt by a mount of an external support. In the collapsed state, the two finger members are collapsed toward the body. In the extended state, the two finger members may extend parallel with each other for receipt in parallel slots of the mount of the external support.

A method includes receiving selection of a target within an image captured by an image sensor of a payload and displayed on a user interface of the payload, detecting a deviation of the target from an expected target state within the image, generating, based at least partly on the deviation, a payload control signal including a first angular velocity for rotating the payload about an axis of the carrier to reduce the deviation about the axis in a subsequent image, and generating a base support control signal including a second angular velocity for rotating the payload with respect to the axis. When the first and second angular velocities are received, the carrier is controlled to rotate the payload at a third angular velocity about the axis. The third angular velocity is the first angular velocity, the second angular velocity, or a combination of both.

An object or body-mounted camera apparatus for recording surgery is provided that is adapted for tracking a relevant visual field of an on-going operation. To help maintain visibility and/or focus of the visual field, specific machine learning approaches are proposed in combination with control commands to shift a physical positioning or a perspective of the camera apparatus. Additional variations are directed to tracking obstructions based on the visual field of the camera, which can be utilized for determining a primary recording for use when there are multiple cameras being used in concert.

Adjustment of a posture of a ball joint is facilitated. A support device includes a pan head unit, a ball joint having a first end to which the pan head unit is attached and a second end provided with a ball portion, a ball holder configured to selectively fix the ball portion, a ball fixing screw connected to the ball holder and configured to move the ball holder between a locked position at which the ball portion is fixed and an unlocked position at which the ball portion is freely rotatable, and an elastic member configured to urge the ball holder toward the ball portion. The ball holder and the ball fixing screw are connected to each other so as to be strokable with a predetermined stroke amount. The predetermined stroke amount is smaller than a movement amount of the ball fixing screw between a first position corresponding to the locked position and a second position corresponding to the unlocked position.

The present disclosure relates to a holding device and a holding method that enable an object, such as a mobile terminal, to be held more stably.

The present disclosure includes a first member and a second member that slides telescopically with respect to the first member. The first member is provided with: a fixing member that fixes the second member by frictional force by being pressed by the second member that slides inside the first member; and a pressing mechanism that presses the fixing member against the second member. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a tablet holder.

A method for aligning the field of view of a user with the field of view of a camera mounted on the user's head may include providing at least one head-mounted camera module that includes at least one sensor that in turn includes an image sensor, where the said image sensor outputs video of an area; receiving a first input from a user to expect a second input relating to the field of view; receiving the second input relating to the field of view; and aligning the field of view of the user with the field of view of the camera.
