Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a pan head, in particular to a portable multi-purpose pan head. Background Art
[0002] A gimbal (conventional gimbal) is a mechanical support device used to stabilize and control the direction of photographic and video equipment. It can carry and accurately adjust the horizontal (left and right) and vertical (up and down) rotation of cameras, camcorders, surveillance cameras or other optical equipment to achieve changes in shooting angles or track moving targets. Conventional gimbals are usually mounted on a tripod or fixed to a supporting structure. They are suitable for indoor shooting, landscape photography, long exposure, time-lapse photography and other occasions that require stable support. They are relatively large and heavy and not easy to carry.
[0003] With the rapid development of miniaturized photographic equipment such as mobile phones and sports cameras, more and more people are starting to use these miniaturized photographic equipment to shoot. In order to ensure the stability of shooting, handheld gimbals have appeared on the market to fix miniaturized photographic equipment. Handheld gimbals are designed to be portable stabilization devices that can be held directly in the hand. They are especially suitable for dynamic scenes such as outdoor mobile shooting, Vlog production, short video shooting, sports photography, etc. They can effectively offset hand shaking and provide smoother and more stable video images. It generally has three axial motors, so it can rotate in three dimensions.
[0004] However, due to the large difference in size and shape between current mobile phones and other sports cameras, and because handheld gimbals generally focus on portability, the design compatibility space is not large, making it difficult to be compatible with both mobile phones and sports cameras. Summary of the invention
[0005] The utility model provides a portable multi-purpose pan head, which solves the problem in the prior art that the handheld pan head cannot be compatible with mobile phones and other sports cameras at the same time.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical problems of the utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solutions: a portable multi-purpose pan-tilt head, comprising a handle, a first motor arranged on the handle, a first rotating arm rotatably connected to the first motor, a second motor arranged on the first rotating arm, a second rotating arm rotatably connected to the second motor, a third motor arranged on the second rotating arm and a mounting platform rotatably connected to the third motor, characterized in that: the rotating shaft of the first motor is perpendicular to the rotating shaft of the second motor, and the rotating shaft of the second motor is perpendicular to the rotating shaft of the third motor; the mounting platform comprises a rotating seat and an adapter seat, the rotating seat is fixed on the output shaft of the third motor, and a first dovetail groove is also provided on the rotating seat, a clamping mechanism is provided on one side of the adapter seat, and a first dovetail block which can form a plug-in fit with the first dovetail groove is provided on the other side.
[0007] The utility model is equipped with multiple adapters, and the clamping mechanisms on different adapters are adapted to different objects, such as mobile phones, sports cameras, etc. By switching different adapters, the utility model can provide gimbal support for different photographic equipment. At the same time, the adapter and the rotating seat are quick-release structures, and installation or disassembly can be achieved by plugging and unplugging the first dovetail block and the first dovetail groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the rotating seat is hollow and has two positioning lock assemblies symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first dovetail groove. The positioning lock assembly includes a flip rod and a button rotatably connected to the rotating seat. One end of the flip rod is provided with a limit block made of ferromagnetic material, and the first dovetail groove is provided with an opening for the limit block to extend out. The button is movably mounted on the shell of the rotating seat. The button is provided with a top rod abutting against the other end of the flip rod. Pressing the button inwards can push the flip rod to rotate so that the limit block flips to the side away from the opening; a permanent magnet is provided in the first dovetail block, and a slot adapted to the shape of the limit block is provided on the outer wall of the first dovetail block.
[0009] When the first dovetail block is fully inserted into the first dovetail groove, the permanent magnet can attract the limit block to approach, and when the limit block falls into the slot, the first dovetail block and the first dovetail groove are relatively fixed and cannot be unlocked, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the adapter and the rotating seat; when the button is pressed, the top rod will push the flip rod to flip, so that the limit block moves away from the first dovetail block. At this time, the first dovetail block and the first dovetail groove are unlocked and can be separated from each other.
[0010] Furthermore, the first rotating arm includes a horizontal rod perpendicular to the axis of the first motor, a vertical rod perpendicular to the axis of the second motor, and an oblique rod connecting the horizontal rod and the vertical rod, wherein the oblique rod is a telescopic rod structure; the second rotating arm is also a telescopic rod structure, wherein the axis of the second rotating arm is parallel to the axis of the second motor and is eccentrically distributed. The compatibility of the handheld gimbal not only requires adapters of different specifications, but also requires compatibility with different sizes. The size compatibility of the handheld gimbal mainly depends on the distance between the third motor and the other two motors. The utility model can freely adjust the size of the distance between the third motor and the other two motors. When the oblique rod changes its length by telescoping, the horizontal and vertical distances between the first motor and the second motor can be changed synchronously; when the second rotating arm changes its length by telescoping, the distance between the third motor and the second motor can be changed synchronously. This allows the utility model to adapt to photographic equipment of different sizes.
[0011] Therefore, compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following characteristics: 1. By switching different adapters, the utility model can provide pan / tilt support for different photographic equipment. At the same time, the adapter and the rotating seat are quick-release structures, which are convenient and quick to disassemble and assemble; 2. The oblique rod and the second rotating arm of the utility model can be freely adjusted in length, so that the distance between the third motor and the other two motors can be adjusted, so that the utility model can adapt to photographic equipment of different sizes.
