Abstract: A multiuse platform and system having a flexible shape-retaining shaft for engaging, holding and pointing devices (e.g., imaging devices like cameras or video recorders). It includes a respositionable mounting system having a flexible assembly having a first end and a second end, the assembly adapted to be repetitively positioned into a plurality of orientations by moving the assembly into a first particular orientation wherein the assembly retains the particular orientation until the assembly is moved into a second particular orientation; and a first mounting head, coupled to the first end, for engaging a first mating structure.

Abstract: A method for a portable device, the method including a) decoupling a first flexible element from a support body coupled to the portable device, the first flexible element and one or more additional flexible elements, when coupled to the support body, cooperatively supporting the support body and the portable device above a work surface; b) coupling the first flexible element to one additional flexible element of the one or more additional flexible elements; c) flexing the first flexible element and at least one of the one or more additional flexible elements into a carrying component, the carrying component including a generally arcuate path, the arcuate path including a deflection of the elements of at least about 90 degrees; d) coupling the carrying component to the portable device.

Abstract: A multipoint reconfigurable system and method supporting a wide-variety of configurations that permit adaptation of the mounting system to the user's specific needs. The present invention includes embodiments directed towards multipoint connection bodies, monolegs, flexlegs, lanyard heads, secure connectors, snap connectors, and combinations thereof as well improved structures and methods for implementing these systems and methods. A reversible monopod includes a telescoping columnar monopod body including a proximal end and a distal end; and a coupler coupled to each the end, the coupler selected from the group consisting of a quick-connect type 1 coupler, a quick-connect type 2 coupler complementary to the quick-connect type 1 coupler, a threaded ¼?-20 stud connector, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A versatile and convenient electronic stamper that overcomes limitations of conventional systems including greater robustness in message transfer as well as disproportionate costs. A print solution includes a hand-held housing defining a print area aperture; and a printhead array including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns of print elements, the printhead sized to substantially cover the print area aperture and configured to apply a print element to any part of the print area aperture without relative motion between the print head and the print area aperture.
