摘要:
The present invention concerns a device to facilitate taking self-portrait photographs, nowadays commonly known by the term "selfies", characterized by the fact that it comprises a compact camera/video recorder, mounted at the end of a support, possibly extendible, or otherwise suitably placed on the same, such that it can be pointed towards the subject so as to appropriately capture the picture, and that the device can be an integral part of the photographic device (smartphone, tablet, digital camera or other device), and as such conceived as a native accessory, or rather in various ways it can be connected to the photographic device's case or to another accessory to be attached to the photographic device, or it can even be independent of the photographic device, or another option.

Modular digital camera systems are disclosed. The modular digital camera system can include a brain module configured to be releasably coupled to one or more of a port extender module, power module, display module, and handle module. The brain module and other accessory modules can be structured according to some embodiments to increase an ease of coupling and decoupling the modules.
摘要:
A camera device comprising an imaging device (21) accommodated inside a camera body (20), a polarization filter (33) that transmits light beams having a predetermined polarization component among light beams incident on the imaging device (21) and an infrared cut filter. The polarization filter (33) is supported by a first frame part (36) and is rotated by a first motor (43). A second motor (37) is capable of inserting and removing any one of the polarization filter (33) and the infrared cut filter (34) with respect to an imaging region of the imaging device (21). Wherein, when the second motor (37) inserts the polarization filter (33) in the imaging region of the imaging device (212), the first motor (43) interlocks the first frame part (36) and the polarization filter (33) is rotated by the first motor (43). Therefore, it is possible to selectively use the filters and to steplessly adjust a polarization angle of the polarization filter (33).
摘要:
A camera-tablet device mounting apparatus is described, with related systems and methods, which allows for hands-free use of a tablet device in conjunction with the use and control of a camera. The mounting apparatus can be used to support a tablet device in adjustable user-preferred configurations, for various modes of camera operation (e.g. standard photography mode, video mode, self- recording/capture mode). The adjustable configurations of the mounting apparatus can be used to align the tablet device over the center of gravity of the camera, allowing for a properly weight balanced configuration in the user's hand. The adjustable configurations of the mounting apparatus can be used to fold the mount into a compact position. It is further contemplated that additional accessory devices can be supported by the mounting apparatus. A wired or wireless connection between the tablet device and the camera allows for remotely viewing and operating the camera through the tablet device. The apparatus mounted tablet device can be used to augment the functionality and features of the camera.
摘要:
Camera heads and associated rotating contact assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment a slip-ring assembly includes a rotating contact assembly including slip rings having a cylindrical ring assembly and a flexible or bendable brush assembly. Brush elements may flexed to remain in contact with corresponding ring assembly electrical contacts. Bush contacts may be coated or have attached contact assemblies to increase hardness and oxide resistance with materials such as palladium nickel, rhodium, or hard gold, though a variety of other materials may be used as a suitable coating.
