In one aspect of the present disclosure, a gimbal assembly is described for use with an image capturing device. The gimbal assembly includes a motor assembly, a first housing defining an internal compartment that is configured and dimensioned to receive the motor assembly, and a second housing that is mechanically connected to the motor assembly such that actuation of the motor assembly causes relative rotation between the first and second housings. The first housing includes a first guide that is configured and dimensioned to support transmission media adapted to communicate electrical and/or digital signals. The second housing defines a channel that is configured and dimensioned to receive the first guide such that the first guide extends into the second housing through the channel. The transmission media is supported on the first guide such that the first guide routes the transmission media from the first housing into the second housing.

Routing of transmission media through rotatable components

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.

Camera and camera mount

An image capture device is disclosed that includes a body defining a peripheral cavity and a removable door assembly that is configured to close and seal the peripheral cavity. The door assembly includes a door body; a locking mechanism; and a biasing member that is configured for engagement with the locking mechanism to resist unlocking of the locking mechanism until a threshold force is applied, at which time, the biasing member is moved from a normal position, in which the biasing member extends at a first angle in relation to the locking mechanism, to a deflected position, in which the biasing member extends at a second angle in relation to the locking mechanism. When locked, the door assembly is rotationally fixed in relation to the body of the image capture device, and when unlocked, the door assembly is rotatable in relation to the body of the image capture device.

Door assemblies for image capture devices

An image capture device includes electronic components and a body. The electronic components include an image sensor and a processing apparatus. The body defines an internal compartment containing the electronic components. The body includes a rear housing and a chassis. The rear housing extends around a top side, a right side, a bottom side, and a left side of the body. The chassis includes an upright portion and a lateral portion extending rearward from the upright portion. The rear housing and the chassis are coupled to each other to cooperatively form the internal compartment with the upright portion of the chassis being coupled to a front end of the rear housing and the lateral portion being positioned outside of and below the internal compartment.

Image capture device

An image capture device with a housing, a drainage microphone, processor, and drainage channel. The housing defining an audio depression. The drainage microphone coupled to the housing at a location of the audio depression and configured to capture audio. The processor coupled with a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to apply a set of tuned beamforming parameters to the captured audio. The drainage channel within the housing to drain moisture from the drainage microphone. The drainage channel defining a channel entrance having a channel entrance width and a channel entrance height.

Camera microphone drainage system designed for beamforming

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a module is disclosed for use with a digital image capturing device (DICD) including an integrated sensor-lens assembly (ISLA). The module includes a cradle configured for connection to a housing of the DICD, and at least one dampener that is configured for positioning between the module and the housing of the DICD to reduce vibrations transmitted to the ISLA.

Module isolation

A handheld image stabilization device or an image capture device includes a housing, a motor, a microphone, and a dampener. The housing includes a first port. The motor is attached to the housing. The microphone detects audio waves via the first port and vibration noise of the motor via the housing. The audio waves may include acoustic noise from the motor. The dampener is coupled to the housing. The dampener reduces the acoustic noise from the motor and the vibration noise from the motor.

Audio enhancements in motor-driven devices

An image capture device, including: a heatsink, an integrated sensor and lens assembly (ISLA), and a battery cage. The heatsink includes a mounting flange. The ISLA extends through the heatsink. The battery cage being in communication with a finger mounting flange of the mounting flange to support the battery cage within the image capture device.
