A mount (coupler) is disclosed that is configured to connect an image capture device to an accessory. The mount includes a female component that is configured for connection to the accessory and which defines stops, and a male component that is configured for removable insertion into the female component. The male component includes: a body; arms that are supported by the body and which are configured for engagement with the stops to thereby connect the male component to the female component; and a power hub that is supported by the body and which is configured to receive a power cord along a longitudinal axis to thereby deliver power and/or data to the mount. The male component is configured for disconnection from the female component upon deflection of the arms beyond a threshold release distance that is less than a maximum transverse (e.g., horizontal) cross-sectional dimension defined by the power cord.

Various embodiments of an interconnect mechanism facilitate the connection of an image capture device to an accessory (either directly or indirectly). In one embodiment, the interconnect mechanism includes a rotatable support that is movable between a series (plurality) of discrete rotational positions through an unlimited range of motion. In another embodiment, the interconnect mechanism includes a pivotable support, which allows for reconfiguration of the interconnect mechanism between a stowed configuration, in which the support is concealed, and a deployed configuration, in which the support is exposed so as to facilitate the connection of the interconnect mechanism and the accessory. In yet another embodiment, the interconnect mechanism includes protrusions that are pivotably reconfigurable between a stowed configuration, in which the protrusions are rotatably fixed, and a deployed configuration, in which the protrusions are rotatable through a range of motion about an axis of rotation.

Interconnect mechanisms for use with image capture devices and accessories

An electronic device includes a body, electronic components contained in the body, and two finger members. The two finger members movable relative to the body between an extended state and a collapsed state. In the extended state, the two finger members extend outward from the body for receipt by a mount of an external support. In the collapsed state, the two finger members are collapsed toward the body. In the extended state, the two finger members may extend parallel with each other for receipt in parallel slots of the mount of the external support.
