The angle adjustment component 3 includes a servo motor 32 and a plurality of adjustment arms, the lower end of the adjustment arm is connected to the output end of the servo motor 32, the angle adjustment component 3 also includes a fixing frame 31, the servo motor 32 is fixedly arranged on the fixing frame 31, the number of the servo motors 32 is four, the number of the adjustment arms is four, including an active arm 33 and a driven arm 34, the lower end of the active arm 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 32, the upper end of the active arm 33 is hinged to the lower end of the driven arm 34, the upper end of the driven arm 34 is hinged to the camera connecting seat 4, the upper end of the active arm 33 is provided with a first connecting shaft 35, and the driven arm 34 is connected by The ball head 36 is connected to the first connecting shaft 35, and a second connecting shaft 37 is fixedly provided on the side of the camera connecting seat 4. The upper end of the driven arm 34 is connected to the second connecting shaft 37 through the connecting ball head 36. When the angle of the camera connecting seat 4 is adjusted, the servo motor 32 is controlled to move, and the angle between the active arm 33 and the driven arm 34 changes. The adjusting arm controls the angle of the camera connecting seat 4 to change, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the marine camera; a height adjustment component, the height adjustment component is an electric telescopic rod 2, and the height adjustment component is arranged at the lower part of the fixed plate 5. The height adjustment component is used to control the height of the camera connecting seat 4. When the hull is bumpy due to wind and waves, the hull shakes up and down, and the up and down movement of the camera is reduced by adjusting the extension of the electric telescopic rod 2; by setting the angle adjustment component 3 and the height adjustment component, the device can automatically adjust the angle and height of the marine camera, which greatly improves the stability of the marine camera, ensures the normal monitoring of the marine camera, and ensures the safety of navigation.

[0033] A posture sensor 6 is provided at the lower portion of the camera connector 4. The posture sensor 6 integrates an accelerometer and a gyroscope, and utilizes the accelerometer and the gyroscope to identify sudden changes in acceleration or angular velocity, such as encountering big waves or a loose camera.

[0034] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown, a controller 7 and a distance sensor 8 are provided at the lower portion of the fixing plate 5 . The distance sensor 8 is used to detect the length information of the electric telescopic rod 2 so as to provide indication information for the extension and contraction of the electric telescopic rod 2 .

The controller 7 controls the servo motor 32 to move, and the angle between the active arm 33 and the driven arm 34 changes. The adjusting arm controls the angle of the camera connecting seat 4 to change, thereby adjusting and correcting the angle of the marine camera. The controller 7 controls the electric telescopic rod 2 to extend or retract, reducing the up and down movement of the camera and achieving stability of the marine camera.
