Recording device holder
View Patent ↗Described is a recording device holder apparatus comprising a substrate comprising an outer perimeter, a front face, and a back face, wherein the front face is reflective, wherein the front face and the back face extend along the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis, and the substrate further comprises an inner perimeter defining a void space, wherein the void space extends from the front face to the back face, wherein the inner perimeter is completely within the bounds of the outer perimeter; and a device mounting system attached to the substrate via a fastener, wherein the fastener is interfaced with the back face or the front face and back face of the substrate, such that the device mounting system is configured to position a visual recording device substantially in the same plane as the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis and within the void space.
1 . An apparatus comprising:
a longitudinal axis;
a lateral axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
a vertical axis extending perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis;
a substrate comprising an outer perimeter, a front face, and a back face, wherein the vertical axis is between the front face and the back face, wherein the front face is reflective, wherein the front face and the back face extend along the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis, and the substrate further comprises an inner perimeter also along the longitudinal axis and lateral axis defining a void space, wherein the void space extends from the front face to the back face along the vertical axis, wherein the inner perimeter is completely within the bounds of the outer perimeter, wherein the substrate comprises a first portion defined by a first portion outer perimeter and a second portion defined by a second portion outer perimeter, wherein the first portion is connected to the second portion such that the substrate is configured to be movable about and between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, and wherein the substrate comprises a first portion of a first fastener on the first portion and a second portion of the first fastener on the second portion such that physical contact between the first portion of the first fastener and the second portion of the first fastener secures the apparatus into the collapsed configuration; and
a device mounting system attached to the substrate via a mounting fastener, wherein the mounting fastener is interfaced with the back face or the front face and back face of the substrate, wherein the device mounting system is configured to position a visual recording device having a device outer perimeter such that the device outer perimeter is substantially in the same plane as the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis and within the void space,
wherein the substrate is a mirror,
wherein the apparatus comprises one or more handles.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the outer perimeter comprises a plurality of edges.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the substrate is connected to the second portion of the substrate with a hinge mechanism.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the substrate further comprises at least one light producing element; wherein the light producing element is attached to the substrate.
5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the light producing element comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes.
6 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the light producing element comprises one or more fluorescent bulbs.
7 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the substrate further comprises a power source for the at least one light producing element, wherein the power source is a rechargeable battery.
8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the power source further comprises a charging port for direct connection to an electrical battery charging apparatus.
9 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the power source further comprises at least one component of an induction charging system, remaining components of the induction charging system being so provided for charging the rechargeable battery.
10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the void space is positioned entirely within the bounds of the first portion outer perimeter.
11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the void space is positioned entirely within the bounds of the second portion outer perimeter.
12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one stand is attached to the back face.
13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein two stands are attached to the back face such that one stand extends perpendicular to the other stand.
14 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises an auto tracking robot camera.
15 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the device mounting system is rotatable.
16 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a square shape.
17 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the device mounting system comprises a gooseneck type device holder.
18 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mounting fastener is a clamp-based fastener that is secured on the front face and the back face.
19 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more handles comprises a first handle attached to the first portion of the substrate and a second handle attached to the second portion of the substrate.
