The quick-release plate 20 can be installed on the bracket 30 in any direction relative to the circumference of the bracket 30, which overcomes the inconvenience caused by the existing quick-release plate that can only be disassembled in two directions, and can achieve quick assembly and disassembly with the gimbal body 10, thereby improving the assembly efficiency during shooting.

[0030] Furthermore, the locking mechanism and the bracket 30 are provided with a dovetail groove 311 disposed opposite to each other, the bracket 30 is provided with a quick-release safety buckle 40 elastically supporting the bracket 30, and the bottom of the quick-release plate 20 is provided with a plurality of guide plates 21 surrounding the circumference thereof and spaced from end to end, and the outer side of each guide plate 21 is provided with a quick-release inclined surface 211 slidingly matched with the dovetail groove 311, for installing the quick-release plate on the bracket; the inner side of each guide plate 21 is provided with an anti-slip structure 212 for engaging with the quick-release safety buckle 40. The above-mentioned quick-release safety buckle 40 can be engaged with the anti-slip structure 212 after the quick-release plate 20 is installed in place, so as to play a certain anti-slip effect, ensure the installation stability of the quick-release plate, and prevent the quick-release plate from falling; at the same time, through the plurality of guide plates 21 surrounding the circumference of the quick-release plate 20 and spaced from end to end, the quick-release plate 20 can arbitrarily select a direction to slide and install in the dovetail groove 311, which is very convenient to use.

[0031] Furthermore, the pan head body 10 includes a connection assembly 50, a direction adjustment mechanism 60 and an angle adjustment mechanism 70, and the bracket 30 is fixedly mounted on the angle adjustment mechanism 70; the connection assembly 50 is used to connect external equipment; the direction adjustment mechanism 60 is rotatably mounted on the connection assembly 50, and is used to adjust the horizontal angle of the bracket 30; the angle adjustment mechanism 70 is rotatably mounted on the direction adjustment mechanism 60 and meshes with the direction adjustment mechanism 60, and is used to adjust the vertical angle of the bracket 30.

[0039] In this embodiment, a direction knob mounting hole 66 is provided on the side wall of the rotating rotor 62, and the direction locking knob 64 is rotatably mounted in the direction knob mounting hole 66 through a threaded connection. In actual use, tightening the direction locking knob 64 applies force toward the locking pressure block 63, thereby pressing the rotating rotor 62 to fix the direction, and after loosening the direction locking knob 64, the horizontal angle of the pan / tilt body can be adjusted, and the operation process is convenient and quick.

[0040] Figure 5 is an exploded view of the angle adjustment mechanism shown in this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 70 includes a rotating shaft 71, an angle locking knob 72, a knob fixing nut 73, a toothed disc spring 74 and a rotating half body 75, and the bracket 30 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 71;

[0043] It should be noted that the rotating shaft 71 and the rotating half body 75 are spaced apart, and the toothed disc spring 74 can push the rotating shaft 71 toward the rotor fixing seat 65 under the action of elastic force, so that the first rotating toothed disc 65a and the second rotating toothed disc 71a are meshed with each other. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the angle adjustment mechanism, the angle locking knob 72 can be rotated in the reverse direction to make the angle adjustment mechanism in a loose state, and then the rotating shaft 71 is driven to move toward the rotating half body 75 by pressing the angle locking knob 72. At this time, the toothed disc spring 74 is squeezed, and the distance between the first rotating toothed disc 65a and the second rotating toothed disc 71a increases and a pitch motion gap is generated, so that the pitch angle can be adjusted conveniently and quickly. When the angle locking knob 72 is stopped from being pressed and the angle locking knob 72 is locked forward, the toothed disc spring 74 pushes the first rotating toothed disc 65a and the second rotating toothed disc 71a to mesh with each other under the action of elastic force, fixing the pitch angle of the gimbal body, and the entire adjustment process is convenient and fast.
