Abstract: An electronic wildlife call has electronics and a housing. The electronics includes an electronic sound generator, memory containing at least one sound call, and at least one speaker connected with the sound generator. The housing contains the electronics and has an upper portion and a lower portion. Legs are coupled to the lower portion of the housing. The legs are movable between a deployed position and a stowed position, wherein when the legs are in the deployed position, the housing is elevated above the ground. The housing has a docking port for receiving a remote control. When the remote control is located in the docking port, the power supply in the remote control is recharged and calls are synced.

Abstract: The action camera has a housing, a lens, and an image sensor located in a light path from the lens. A filter is operable to move between first and second positions, with the first position located in the light path and the second position located out of the light path. An actuator moves the filter between the first and second positions. The actuator includes an electromagnet and a magnet. One of the electromagnet and the magnet is fixed relative to the light path, while the other of the electromagnet and the magnet is movable relative to the light path and is coupled to the filter. The magnet has poles that interact with the poles of the electromagnet. As the electromagnet is energized, the magnet rotates. The polarity of the electromagnet is reversed in order to reverse the rotation of the magnet. The camera is also provided with a light source. When the light source is activated, then the filter is moved accordingly. The actuator is small and consumes little electrical power.
