Abstract: A track system on which a skater dolly can roll, comprising one or more pairs of rails and one or more rail clamps. Each rail clamp supports one or two pairs of rails. Rails held side-by-side are parallel to each other. Rail clamps can also secure two rails in end-to-end configuration. The distance between rails can be about 5/16 of an inch. The track system can include a skater dolly, the load-bearing wheels of which are angled 20-30 degrees away from vertical to provide clearance past the rail clamps. The skater also has stabilizing wheels that are approximately perpendicular to the load-bearing wheels, and which secure the skater to the rails when the skater is in a non-upright e.g. upside-down orientation. The system can include a motor pulley system that moves the skater along the rails.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a portable configurable modular spatial positioning and dynamic stabilization that enables mounting of at least one apparatus (e.g., camera, etc.) in accordance with at least one plural controllable mounting profile. The system of the present invention—the novel “Quadripod”—has four+ indepently moving legs, that can be adjusted up to 270 degrees (or more) both below and above the Quadripod plate. The. Quadripod knee joints . also allow by simply lifting them off their base to control the horizontal rotational angle through a dowel pin inside the new joint mechanism that can be inserted in the carrousel of matching holes on the upper part of the knee joint. Features also include the ability to underslung one plate below another by letting the rods slide through the plate. A major feature is also the ability to use standard commonly available speedrail pipes.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a portable configurable modular spatial stabilization and transport system that enables mounting of at least one apparatus (e.g., camera, etc.) in accordance with at least one plural controllable mounting profile, which may be a static profile, securing the apparatus, or one or more mobile profiles, in which the apparatus is movable. The inventive system comprises ah elongated base platform comprising a plurality of stabilization elements securable to one or more stability sources, and a selectively movable mounting platform for interfacing with one or more apparatus mounting interfaces, that is selectively securable at any predetermined position along the base platform, or for being selectively moved along the base platform in a predefined motion range, thereby enabling any apparatus interfaced therewith to be mounted in one or more predefined mounting profiles.
