Camera mountable arm

摘要

A camera mountable arm includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment includes a recess extending substantially along a length of the first segment, and is configured to detachably couple to a camera. The first segment is rotatably coupled to the second segment and the second segment is rotatably coupled to the third segment. The arm is operable in a plurality of positions, including: a folded position, where the first, second, and third segments are aligned to be mutually length-wise parallel such that the second segment is enclosed within the recess along the first segment, and the first and second segments are substantially flush with the third segment; and an outstretched position, where the first and second segments are separated by a first angular displacement and the second and third segments by a second angular displacement.

1. A camera mountable arm comprising:
a plurality of segments including a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment, each comprising a respective first end and a respective second end, the first segment comprising a recess extending substantially along a length of the first segment, a width of the second segment being less than a width of the first segment and less than a width of the third segment; the first end of the first segment comprising a camera mount configured to detachably couple to a camera; the second end of the first segment pivotally coupled to the first end of the second segment by a first hinge mechanism; the second end of the second segment pivotally coupled to the first end of the third segment by a second hinge mechanism; and the arm configured to be operable in a plurality of positions, including:
a folded position, wherein the first, second, and third segments are aligned to be mutually length-wise parallel such that the second segment is received and at least partially enclosed within the recess along the first segment, and wherein the first segment abuts the third segment such that an outer surface of the first segment is substantially flush with an outer surface of the third segment; andan outstretched position, wherein the first and second segments are separated by a first angular displacement at the first hinge mechanism and the second and third segments are separated by a second angular displacement at the second hinge mechanism.
