[0027] Nowadays, video sharing platforms have occupied a relatively important position in people's daily lives, so the use of aircraft equipped with gimbal cameras for shooting has become more and more popular among video content creators. When shooting, the gimbal cameras of existing aircraft are often disturbed by stray light that is harmful to imaging. In addition, due to the size limitation of the gimbal camera of the aircraft, it is difficult to install easily disassembled parts to solve the problem of stray light.

[0028] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a shading component, a gimbal camera module and an aircraft, so as to provide a shading component that is easy to disassemble and install, exclude unnecessary light, and improve the shooting effect of the gimbal camera.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a gimbal camera module 100 applied to an aircraft. The aircraft has a flight function.

[0032] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first housing 21 includes a first buckle 211 and a first slot 212. The first buckle 211 and the first slot 212 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the first housing 21. In some embodiments, the first housing 21 has an end surface 213, and the first buckle 211 and the first slot 212 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the end surface 213 along the length direction of the end surface 213. The first buckle 211 protrudes from the end surface 213. In some embodiments, the end surface 213 faces the light shield 22. Except for the first buckle 211 protruding from the end surface 213, no other part of the first housing 21 protrudes from the end surface 213, thereby ensuring smooth connection between the end surface 213 and the light shield 22. The first slot 212 is opened along the length direction of the end surface 213. Specifically, the first slot 212 is formed by one end of the end surface 213 being recessed inwardly along the length direction.

[0033] The light shield 22 includes a second slot 221 and a second buckle 222. The second slot 221 and the second buckle 222 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the light shield 22. In some embodiments, the light shield 22 has a body 223, and the second buckle 222 protrudes from the body 223. The second slot 221 is opened along the length direction of the body 223, and specifically, the second slot 221 is formed by one end of the body 223 being recessed inwardly along the length direction.

[0034] The second clamping slot 221 can clamp the first clamping buckle 211 in the first direction, and the second clamping buckle 222 can clamp the first clamping slot 212 in the first direction, so that the light shield 22 is fixedly connected to the first housing 11. In some embodiments, the second clamping slot 221 can be correspondingly disengaged from the first clamping buckle 211 in the second direction, and the second clamping buckle 222 can be correspondingly disengaged from the first clamping slot 212 in the second direction, so that the light shield 22 is detached from the first housing 11. In some embodiments, the second direction is opposite to the first direction, and the second direction and the first direction can be the length direction of the end surface 213 and the body 223. In some embodiments, when the second clamping slot 221 clamps the first clamping buckle 211, the second clamping buckle 222 clamps the first clamping slot 212 in the first direction. That is, the first clamping buckle 211 and the second clamping buckle 222 are respectively and simultaneously clamped in the second clamping slot 221 and the first clamping slot 212. The second slot 221 and the second buckle 222 are respectively and detachably engaged with the first buckle 211 and the first slot 212, so that the light shield 22 is detachably connected to the first housing 11. In some embodiments, when the light shield 22 is connected to the first housing 11, the light shield 22 is disposed on the gimbal camera 10 and is used to shield stray light for the gimbal camera 10, so as to prevent unnecessary light from entering the gimbal camera 10, thereby effectively improving the imaging quality and shooting effect of the gimbal camera 10.

[0035] Please also read Figures 2 to 5 In some embodiments, the first shell 21 further includes a limiting arm 214.
