Telescopic camera mount with remotely controlled positioning

A control system for a remote apparatus, said apparatus being capable of movement in at least one direction based upon a predefined motion of the human body, said predefined motion having a positive and a negative direction with respect to a null position of the human body, said control system comprising:

• at least one module constructed and arranged to be mounted upon a portion of the human body which will undergo the predefined motion;
• a sensing unit for determining at least one attribute of said module selected from the group consisting of:
• a position of said module with respect to a second portion of the human body;
• a position of said module with respect to the ground, an orientation of said module with respect to a second portion of the human body, and an orientation of said module with respect to the ground;
• at least one of said module and said sensing unit providing input signals relating to said attribute;
• a control switch movable between first and second conditions;
• control means receiving said input signals and generating output signals to cause said movement of said apparatus, said control means being operatively connected to said control switch to monitor said condition of said switch, said control means (1) in said first condition of said switch, not causing said movement of said apparatus, (2) upon said switch moving from said first to said second condition said control means taking said attribute from said input signal as the null position of the human body, and (3) in said second position of said switch said control means evaluating said input signal to determine a rate of change of said attribute, to determine whether said attribute changes is consistent with the predefined motion of the human body, and to determine whether the predefined motion is in the positive or the negative direction, said control means causing said movement of said apparatus when said rate of change of said attribute is above a predetermined limit, and said attribute change does correspond to the predefined motion, and the predefined motion is in the positive direction.
