Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of photography auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to a camera hot shoe finger grip. Background Art

[0002] Hot shoe is a direct translation of the English word "Hot Shoe". "Hot" refers to conductivity, that is, signal interaction and communication. The hot shoe interface is a fixed interface slot for various digital imaging equipment (including digital SLR, DV and traditional digital cameras) to install external accessories. The connectable accessories include flash, GPS locator, video light and microphone, etc. The cold shoe, in English, is called "Cold Shoe". "Cold" means non-conductive. Therefore, the cold shoe interface only provides a fixed installation of accessories.

[0003] The existing camera bodies are generally flat and rectangular. When the camera is used handheld, the user cannot hold the camera well or feels uncomfortable. Especially when the camera body has a certain weight and is used for a long time, the user's hands are easily fatigued.

[0004] The camera hot shoe finger grip is an auxiliary tool that is installed on the camera's hot shoe interface by snap-on installation. When holding the camera, the thumb can just press on the bend of the grip to increase the strength of holding the camera. The ergonomic design improves the comfort of the hand when holding the camera, making the user's hand less prone to fatigue. It has the advantages of being lightweight and practical.

[0005] However, the existing camera hot shoe finger grip has a single function. After occupying the hot shoe interface of the camera, it is difficult to install other external accessories on the camera; for example, a camera finger grip disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN202102225U. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a camera hot shoe finger handle, comprising a handle body and a clamping portion arranged on the handle body; the clamping portion comprises a clamping block for clamping on the camera hot shoe interface; the clamping portion also comprises a fixing seat arranged above the clamping block, the fixing seat is provided with a clamping slot, and the clamping slot is used for clamping and installing external camera accessories.

[0007] The utility model provides a card slot on the card connection part of the camera hot shoe finger handle, which serves as a cold shoe interface and can be card-engaged and installed with various camera external accessories (such as a flashlight, a microphone), playing a role of fixed connection; the function of the camera hot shoe finger handle is expanded, and the use is convenient and flexible. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the utility model at different angles.

[0009] Figure 3 It is a top view of the utility model.

[0010] Figure 4 for Figure 3 Section view of the AA plane. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] The present application scheme is further described as follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0012] See attached Figure 1-4 A camera hot shoe finger grip comprises a grip body 1 and a clamping portion 2 arranged on the grip body 1; the clamping portion 2 comprises a clamping block 21 for clamping on the camera hot shoe interface; the clamping portion 2 also comprises a fixing seat 22 arranged above the clamping block 21, and a clamping slot 23 is provided on the fixing seat 22, and the clamping slot 23 is used for clamping and installing external camera accessories.

[0013] The technical solution provides a card slot 23 on the card connection portion 2 on the camera hot shoe finger handle, which serves as a cold shoe interface and can be installed with various camera external accessories (such as a flash, a microphone) to play a role of fixed connection; the function of the camera hot shoe finger handle is expanded, and it is convenient and flexible to use.

[0014] Specifically, the card slot 23 includes an upwardly arranged notch 231 and an insertion opening 232 that passes through the front and rear ends of the fixing seat 22; the left and right sides of the notch 231 are provided with inwardly extending limiting convex edges 25; when installing the camera external accessory, its mounting seat can be inserted into it along the insertion opening 232 of the card slot 23.

[0015] Grooves 26 are formed on the left and right sides of the clamping portion 2 and between the fixing seat 22 and the clamping block 21 for mating with the camera hot shoe interface.

[0016] The clamping part 2 is provided with a screw hole 24 extending longitudinally to penetrate the clamping part; the screw hole 24 is located at the center of the clamping slot 23; the screw hole 24 is used to connect with the camera external accessories. The setting of the screw hole 24 can be screwed with the screw at the bottom of some camera accessories, which has stronger expansibility.

[0017] Specifically, the screw hole 24 is a 1 / 4 screw hole, which is suitable for most common fill lights and brackets and has a wide range of applications.
