Pole with smartphone support and shutter release

摘要

An assembly is provided including a pole and a smartphone support. The pole is preferably adjustable in length and removably attachable to the smartphone support. The smartphone support is preferably configured as a clamp with an upper arm biased toward a base and with fingers therebetween which can engage edges of a smartphone to hold the smartphone therebetween. A trigger is provided on a handle of the pole which interfaces with the smartphone, such as by a cable removably connectable to an accessory port on the smartphone or wireless transmitter to a receiver in the smartphone, so that the trigger on the handle can operate a camera within the smartphone. A vent coupling is also provided on the support for attachment to a louver of an air conditioning vent or similar structure, typically with the pole removed from the support.
