The invention discloses a shooting device convenient to install and capable of cleaning a lens for an unmanned aerial vehicle, and relates to the technical field of equipment for the unmanned aerial vehicle, the shooting device comprises a mounting plate, and the lower surface of the mounting plate is fixedly connected with a motor. According to the shooting device convenient to install and capable of cleaning the lens for the unmanned aerial vehicle, a camera can be clamped and fixed in the left-right direction through the arrangement of a pull rod, a clamping plate, a spring II, a sliding block I, a sliding groove I and a clamping block; through arrangement of a rotating bolt, a moving block, a connecting rod, a moving plate, a limiting rod III, a limiting rod I and a clamping block, the clamping block can be limited in the vertical direction, so that the clamping block is prevented from moving in the clamping block, and rapid mounting and fixing of the camera are realized; and when the camera needs to be maintained, the camera can be conveniently detached and maintained, so that the maintenance efficiency is improved, and the influence on the use of the device is avoided.
