Abstract
Various embodiments provide for a telescoping monopod or a tripod with a telescoping pole that allows an imaging device to be mounted thereon and be remotely controlled via a mobile device. A mounting assembly on the monopod can include motors that facilitate pan and tilt functionality, and a controller that operates the motors and the imaging device. The controller can control the motors and imaging device based on instruction received wirelessly from a mobile device. A base enclosure in the monopod can include one or more batteries that power the imaging device and mounting assembly and also include memory for digital storage of the images recorded by the imaging device.
