Abstract: An attachable foot assembly designed to be attached to a lower portion of a camera tripod stand leg is provided. The bottom surface of the foot attachment is interchangeable and is chosen depending on the environment in which the tripod is to be used. For example, if the tripod is to be used for lateral movement upon a smooth ground surface (e.g., carpeted floors, hardwood floors, tiled surfaces, natural grass, AstroTurf, etc.), the bottom surface of the foot attachments may be chosen to be wide, convex, and smooth to enable the tripod to smoothly slide laterally upon the surface. In addition, the attachable foot assembly includes a rotatable mount enabling the attachment to fit upon tripod legs at various angles and to move over uneven surfaces.

Abstract: A system for managing updates of an executable component in accordance with an updating tree with multiple branches is provided. In one implementation, specific updates are provided to users with specific problems while general updates are provided to all users of the executable component. A range of lower version numbers is reserved for the general updates. When a specific update with a version number higher than those in the reserved range has been installed on a computing device, an installer may prevent a new general update with a lower version number to be installed. The installer may determine a new specific update corresponding to the general update and provide an indication to the user to install this new specific update instead of the general update. This multi-branch update delivery system enables users to elect to receive only updates that are necessary.
