Publication number: 20240036443Abstract: A telescoping pole comprised of a plurality of tubular sections, one or more electric motors, and a control module. Linear gear arrangements on the tubular sections are engaged with pinions fixed to the next wider tubular sections. Electric motors rotationally drive the pinions, linearly driving the tubular sections, and, thus, causing the telescoping pole to extend or retract. The length of the telescoping pole can be adjusted during audio/video capture. The telescoping pole is operable hand-held, and adjustments can be made using one hand. The telescoping pole may further comprise clamps, an accessory mount, a base mount, and a counterweight.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventor: Jared Cohn

Publication number: 20240036445Abstract: A handle mechanism includes a front grip and a rear grip, wherein the rear grip is hinged with the front grip, and the rear grip is provided with a mounting assembly for mounting the rear grip on a side of an external photographic device. The front grip and the rear grip can be rotated and fitted together so as to be used as a handle of the external photographic device. The handle mechanism serves as a desktop support, and the front grip and the rear grip can b e rotated and unfolded to form a V-shaped support to support the external photographic device. The handle mechanism may be configured as a handle and a support. Compared with a handle and a support that are independent, the handle mechanism is more convenient to carry and use, and has a lower use cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Wenping Zeng, Kefeng Zhou
