Publication number: 20240129662Abstract: A handheld image stabilization device with a housing, a gimbal, a motor, a printed circuit board (PCB), a microphone, and a dampener. The gimbal has three arms. The motor assembly has multiple motors such that respective ones of the multiple motors are located on respective ones of the three arms. The microphone is attached to a surface of the PCB and configured to detect audio waves, wherein the audio waves include acoustic noise from the motor assembly. The dampener is disposed between the motor assembly and the PCB, wherein the dampener is configured to reduce the acoustic noise from the motor assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Himay Shukla, Erich Tisch, Joyce Gorny, Eric Penrod, Kielan Crow

Patent number: 11175565Abstract: A camera housing includes four walls configured to enclose and secure a camera: a top wall, a bottom wall, a right wall, and a left wall. The bottom wall includes a first segment and a segment coupled by a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism comprises a tongue component coupled to the second segment and a groove component coupled to the first segment. The tongue and groove components are configured such that the tongue component securely couples the second segment to the first segment when the camera frame is in the closed configuration. In the open configuration, the first and second segment can decouple and the left wall and second segment rotates upwards relative to the top wall such that a camera can be inserted or removed from the camera system. The camera housing also includes a button interface, an input/output interface, and a mounting mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Wroblewski, Kielan Crow, Himay Rashmikant Shukla, Ryan Harrison
