A method for detecting a payload on a carrier configured to support the payload includes obtaining a obtaining at least one motion characteristic of the carrier. The at least one motion characteristic is indicative of a coupling state between the carrier and the payload. The method further includes assessing the coupling state between the carrier and the payload based on the at least one motion characteristic. Assessing the coupling state between the carrier and the payload includes at least one of assessing whether the payload is coupled to the carrier or assessing whether the payload is correctly mounted at the carrier.

Improved support structures and systems are disclosed for installing tablet devices, display screens, flat screen monitors, or medical devices within a wide variety of environments. A core arm extends from a rear end, toward a front end, in which the rear end is configured to be pivotably mounted either directly to a mount structure, or to an extension arm that in turn is mounted to a mount structure. The front end is configured to be pivotably mounted to a front-end panel mount structure. The structures and systems can be configured for light or heavy configurations, with or without the use of an extension arm, and can provide fully concealed cable routing, in which one or more cables are readily accessible, via snap fit covers, for easy installation and maintenance, which can provide a clean structure that can readily be serviced and cleaned as desired.

The embodiment of the present application provides a balance mechanism and a mounting bracket. Wherein, the balance mechanism includes: a mounting part; a sliding part, which is slidably connected to the mounting part; a spring, the first end of the spring is fixed to the sliding part; an adjuster, which has a third end and a fourth end opposite to the third end, wherein the third end is connected to the mounting part, and the fourth end is connected to the second end of the spring. The adjuster is configured to to adjust the spring, so as to stretch and compress the spring. The embodiments of the present application can reduce the cost of the balance mechanism and thereby reduce the cost of the mounting bracket.

Aspects of the invention are directed to adjustable tilt mechanisms (30), e.g., adjustable tilt mechanisms configured for enabling objects to tilt around a tilting axis (101). According to one aspect of the invention, an adjustable tilt mechanism includes a housing (100) that defines a tilt axis and an adjustment axis (103) oriented perpendicular and non-intersecting relative to the tilt axis and a torque adjustment assembly that is at least partially disposed within the housing. The torque adjustment assembly (118) includes an adjuster (130) positioned for rotation about the adjustment axis defined by the housing, a gear (120) positioned for rotation about the tilt axis defined by the housing, and a biasing spring (140) coupled to the gear. The gear being operatively coupled to the adjuster. The housing configured for coupling to an object.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a gimbal assembly is described for use with an image capturing device. The gimbal assembly includes a motor assembly, a first housing defining an internal compartment that is configured and dimensioned to receive the motor assembly, and a second housing that is mechanically connected to the motor assembly such that actuation of the motor assembly causes relative rotation between the first and second housings. The first housing includes a first guide that is configured and dimensioned to support transmission media adapted to communicate electrical and/or digital signals. The second housing defines a channel that is configured and dimensioned to receive the first guide such that the first guide extends into the second housing through the channel. The transmission media is supported on the first guide such that the first guide routes the transmission media from the first housing into the second housing.

Provided is an articulated structure for connecting at least one arm rod, including a first connecting piece, a second connecting piece, a friction member and a pressing assembly. The friction member is inserted into one end of the arm rod, one end of the arm rod is articulated between the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece through a driving member, the driving member includes a stud, and the stud of the driving member sequentially penetrates through the first connecting piece, the friction member and one end of the arm rod and then threading mount with the second connecting piece. The pressing assembly is positioned between the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece and driven by the driving member to press against the friction member.

A display support having a freely adjustable height, including a base and a connector for installing a display, wherein an upper connecting arm and a lower connecting arm, which are parallel to each other, are arranged between the base and the connector. The display support further includes a mechanical spring, wherein an end of the mechanical spring is hinged with the connector or the lower connecting arm, the other end of the mechanical spring is hinged with a threaded sliding block, the threaded sliding block sleeves on a threaded rod, the threaded rod is arranged in the base, so that when an end part of the threaded rod is operated to drive the threaded rod to rotate, the threaded sliding block moves along the threaded rod, and a position of the threaded sliding block on the threaded rod is adjusted according to the weight of the display on the connector, so that when the connector is moved upwards or downwards, the connector is stopped at different heights relative to the base. The display support having the freely adjustable height can realize free stop of height adjustment, and thus is better than an air spring support.

A mounting apparatus for positioning a television relative to a wall and a fireplace mantel includes a mounting plate coupled to a distal end of a positioning arm and is moved and positioned according to movement of the positioning arm. The positioning arm has a linear configuration with a proximal end mounted inside an inset wall housing which is itself mounted into a wall above the mantel of a fireplace. The positioning arm is pivotally movable between a retracted configuration completely inside the wall housing and a deployed configuration outside and extending away from the wall housing. The positioning arm includes gas springs and the mounting plate includes an adjustable bracket capable of mounting televisions having large VESA patterns.

A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket coupleable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. Tilt adjustment mechanisms are used to adjust the tilt of the display bracket.
