Remote control for cameras

Abstract

The invention relates to a remote control (1) for cameras, comprising a hand-grip unit (2) which can be accommodated by a user along a grip axis (GA) in a first hand, and a first operating element (3)which may be operated by the user's second hand and which is rotatable about a first axis of rotation (DA1), wherein the first axis of rotation (DA1) is substantially normal to a principal axis (HA)of the remote control (1) and with the principal axis (HA) spans a principal plane (E), wherein the grip axis (GA) is rotated out of the principal axis (HA) in the principal plane (E), as a result ofwhich an angle between the grip axis (GA) and the first axis of rotation (DA1) is greater than 90 degrees, wherein the remote control (1) has an operating unit (4) with additional display means and / oroperating elements in the area present because of the rotation of the grip axis (GA).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a remote controller for a video camera, which has a holding unit that can be taken into a first hand by a user along a holding axis, and can be operated by the user's second hand and can surround the first rotation axis The rotating first operating member, wherein the first rotation axis is substantially perpendicular to the main axis of the remote controller and forms a main plane with the main axis. Background technique [0002] In the film industry, if there is no remote control for the camera, it is impossible to use the camera, especially the professional movie camera, to control some special situations. Such situations include, for example, the camera is fixed on a vehicle, or fixed on a mechanical cantilever with counterweight, a so-called "boom", or in special situations that require particularly rapid adaptation to changing conditions, such as During action shooting or documentary. It is particularly important for...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of this known remote control is that the number of operating elements available to be operated intuitively is insufficient and not arranged in an ergonomic manner

Additional operating parts of the plug-in module can be plugged, for example, on the distal front region of the handle unit, but these are then difficult to reach, and the contact between the handle unit and the plug-in module is prone to failure and wear , and the remote is less compact and convenient in general

Furthermore, some known remote controls have the disadvantage that the display for displaying information is located on the side of the handle unit, whereby the user has to rotate the handle unit every The top surface of the handle unit is located in the direct line of sight of the user
