If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] In the field of photography technology, the design and function of the handle are crucial to the photographer's shooting experience. Traditional handles are usually made of pure aluminum alloy. Although this material is strong and durable, it is easy to conduct heat in low temperature environments, causing the photographer to feel uncomfortable when holding it, and sometimes even freezing his hands. In addition, some handles are made of silicone material. Although it provides a certain warmth effect, the silicone surface is easily contaminated with dust, affecting the appearance and comfort of holding.

[0035] With the development of technology, some new types of grips have appeared on the market, which try to solve these problems of traditional grips. For example, some grips have added wrist strap interfaces and external interfaces in their designs to facilitate photographers to connect wrist straps or other auxiliary equipment to improve the stability and safety of shooting. However, these grips often lack built-in disassembly tools, which makes it inconvenient for users to quickly change equipment.

[0036] In addition, existing grips also have certain functional limitations. Although some high-end grips provide cold shoe slots and a variety of threaded interfaces for external monitors and other accessories, the configuration of these interfaces is often not flexible enough to meet the needs of all photographers. At the same time, some grips lack convenient operation buttons, such as recording start and end buttons, which may cause important shots to be missed in a fast-paced shooting environment.

[0037] It can be seen that the existing camera handles still need to be improved in terms of material selection, functionality and ease of use. Photographers need a handle that can provide a comfortable grip experience in various environments and has high compatibility and convenient operation. Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology by adopting new materials, adding multi-functional interfaces and built-in disassembly and assembly tools and other innovative designs, and provide a more humane, efficient and comprehensive camera handle solution.

[0038] In view of this, in the present application, a handle for a camera cage is proposed which can solve the above-mentioned problems at least to a certain extent.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 According to one aspect of the present invention, a camera cage handle includes a main body 100 and a connecting member 200. The main body 100 includes a first portion 110, a second portion 120, and a third portion 130. The first portion 110 includes a first interface 111, a second interface 112, a first connecting hole 113, and a second connecting hole 114 for connecting an external device. The second portion 120 is connected to the first portion 110, and the second portion 120 is provided with a through slot 121. The third portion 130 is connected to the second portion 120, and the third portion 130 is provided with a third interface 131. The connecting member 200 includes a mounting portion 210 and a connecting portion 220, the mounting portion 210 is movably mounted on the through slot 121 of the second portion 120, and the connecting member 200 can move along the extending direction of the through slot 121 through the mounting portion 210. The connecting portion 220 is connected to the camera cage.

[0040] The camera cage handle according to one aspect of the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the functionality of the handle can be improved.

[0041] The camera cage handle of the utility model brings significant improvement effects, especially in improving the functionality of the handle. In the present application, the main body 100 of the handle is composed of three parts, namely the first part 110, the second part 120 and the third part 130. The first part 110 is specially designed with a first interface 111 and a second interface 112, wherein the first interface 111 and the third interface 131 are used to pass through a wrist strap or a shoulder strap. Such a design helps to better protect the camera and prevent it from accidentally falling. The second interface 112 is used to connect the camera cable, etc., so as to operate and control the camera. In addition, the handle is also equipped with a first connection hole 113 and a second connection hole 114, which can be used to connect additional equipment such as a monitor, thereby expanding the use scenarios and scope of the camera.

[0042] Compared with the traditional handle, the handle of the present invention has significantly improved compatibility and functionality. It can not only be used as a handheld device, but also as a mounting platform for external devices, which greatly enhances the practicality of the handle. In addition, the handle connector 200 of the present invention is movable and can be adjusted as needed, so that the connection position of the camera and the rabbit cage on the handle can be changed according to different shooting requirements, providing higher flexibility and adaptability.

[0043] Furthermore, on the premise of improving the functionality of the handle, in order to facilitate the photographer's comfort in holding the handle during shooting, the present application also improves the specific structure of the handle.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the length of the outermost edge of the first part 110 along the width direction of the handle is greater than the length of the outermost edge of the second part 120, and the first part 110 and the second part 120 are smoothly connected by the arc surface that is concave toward the center of the main body 100. In this embodiment, since the length of the outermost edge of the first part 110 along the width direction of the handle is greater than the length of the outermost edge of the second part 120, when a person holds the handle, the top of the first part 110 is exposed above the base of the human hand. Since the size of this part is larger than the hand grip (the lower end of the first part 110 and the second part 120), even if the weight of the camera is very heavy, the handle will not slip from the human hand and cause the camera to fall. In addition, the first part 110 and the second part 120 are smoothly connected by the arc surface that is concave toward the center of the main body 100. The setting of the concave arc surface can further improve the comfort of the human hand and enhance the grip of the human hand on the handle.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second portion 120 includes a first surface 122, and the first surface 122 is a curved surface that bulges away from the center of the main body 100, and a first recess 101 is formed between the first portion 110 and the second portion 120. The design of the first recess 101 helps to reduce the pressure when holding and provides a better grip. Compared with the planar structure of the hand grip in the related art, the first surface 122 of this embodiment has a curved surface that bulges outward, and the curved surface can fit the human hand better, further increasing the comfort of the human hand when holding the handle. At the same time, the setting of the first recess 101 can increase the grip force of the human hand on the handle, and prevent the camera from falling off due to hand slippage.

[0046] In some embodiments, the third portion 130 has an extension end 132 on one side connected to the first surface 122, and a second recess 102 is formed between the second portion 120 and the third portion 130. Specifically, the second recess 102 cooperates with the first recess 101, and when in use, the index finger and thumb of a person's hand hold the first recess 101 of the handle, and the little finger holds the second recess 102 of the handle, while the extension end 132 of the third portion 130 is below the little finger and abuts against the little finger, which can further improve the comfort of the person's hand and enhance the grip of the handle.

[0047] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments, the first part 110 is provided with a cold shoe slot 115 at the end surface away from the second part 120. By providing the cold shoe slot 115, it is possible to meet the installation requirements of more external devices, such as fill light, mirror and other equipment. In addition, the number of cold shoe slots 115 can be set according to actual needs, and the setting position is usually a position corresponding to the top of the camera. In this embodiment, the cold shoe slot 115 is set at the end surface of the first part 110 away from the second part 120, but this setting position is only used as an example, and the cold shoe slot 115 can also be selected according to specific needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first portion 110 includes a first end surface 110a and a second end surface 110b, the first end surface 110a and the second end surface 110b form an angle, and the second end surface 110b extends toward the bottom surface of the third portion 130. Figure 1 , Figure 2 Since the first end face 110a and the second end face 110b are arranged at an angle, the overall structure can be made smaller and more compact. When a shoulder strap or a wrist strap is installed on the first interface 111, it will not affect the control component (described later) arranged on the second end face 110b.

[0049] In some embodiments, a control key 300 is further included, and the control key 300 is disposed on the second end surface 110b, and the first interface 111, the second interface 112, the first connection hole 113, and the second connection hole 114 are disposed on the first end surface 110a. In this embodiment, the control key 300 may include a recording key, a shooting key, or a key including both recording and shooting functions. Since the control member is disposed on the inclined second end surface 110b, when the photographer holds the handle, he can easily press the control key 300 with his thumb to shoot or record, thereby improving the convenience of using the handle and the camera.

[0050] In some embodiments, a disassembly member 400 is also included, and the second part 120 and the third part 130 are provided with a receiving groove 103 for accommodating the disassembly member 400. A fixing member 123 for fixing the disassembly member 400 is provided inside the second part 120, and the disassembly member 400 is installed in the receiving groove 103 and fixed by the fixing member 123. In the related art, a part of the handle is not provided with a disassembly member 400, resulting in the need to find a separate disassembly member 400 for installation or disassembly when the handle needs to be installed or disassembled, which wastes time. Although another part of the handle has a built-in disassembly member 400, the fixing of the disassembly member 400 is only to insert it into a built-in hole. After multiple uses, the hole is easy to become loose and cause the disassembly member 400 to be lost.

[0051] In response to this, in the present application, in addition to the disassembly part 400 and the accommodating groove 103 for accommodating the disassembly part 400, a fixing part 123 is also provided inside the second part 120 for fixing the disassembly part 400. The fixing part 123 can be a magnetic structure or a claw structure to firmly fix the disassembly part 400 to prevent the disassembly part 400 from falling from the accommodating groove 103.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the connection end is provided with a clamping portion 211 and a locking member 212, and the clamping portion 211 clamps the camera cage and is locked and fixed by the locking member 212. Specifically, the clamping portion 211 can cooperate with the slide slot of the camera cage, and the clamping portion 211 clamps the slide slot of the camera cage in the clamping portion 211, and then the locking member 212 is rotated to lock the clamping portion 211 and the camera cage, so as to prevent the clamping portion 211 from loosening from the camera cage and causing the camera to fall and be damaged.

[0053] In some embodiments, the material of the main body 100 is selected from Micarta material or rosewood material.

[0054] In the related art, traditional handles are usually made of pure aluminum alloy. Although this material is strong and durable, it is easy to conduct heat in low temperature environments, causing photographers to feel uncomfortable when holding it, and sometimes even freezing their hands. In addition, some handles are made of silicone material. Although it provides a certain warmth effect, the silicone surface is easily contaminated with dust, affecting the appearance and comfort of holding.

[0055] In the present application, Micarta is used as the outer shell material of the handle. Micarta is a resin-based material belonging to the composite material family. Micarta is also compressed and laminated, but it is mainly made of burlap, linen or canvas, not glass. The laminated layers are bonded with phenolic resin and then compressed by heating to become a hard material. Micarta material has excellent wear resistance and good grip. It is not only wear-resistant but also unaffected by climatic conditions, and is suitable for long-term use in changing shooting environments. Its delicate surface and non-slip properties provide a stable grip and effectively reduce the risk of accidental drop of the camera. Micarta material also has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist erosion by corrosive substances such as sweat and grease, and can remain as new even in humid or dusty conditions. In addition, its diverse color and texture selection not only adds aesthetics, but also facilitates cleaning and maintenance. In addition, Micarta material has good insulation properties and is lightweight, which can reduce the potential damage of static electricity to electronic devices and make photographers feel more comfortable and relaxed when shooting for a long time.

[0056] In addition, using rosewood as the outer shell material of the handle can also achieve the above-mentioned beneficial effects of good grip and dirt resistance.
