[0015] Preferably: the automatic adjustment component includes: a motor 201, the motor 201 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the support frame 2, the output shaft of the motor 201 is fixedly connected to one end of the arc track 202, and the other end of the arc track 202 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the support frame 2, and a motor 2011 is also fixedly installed on the left side of the support frame 2, the output shaft of the motor 2011 is fixedly connected to one end of the arc track 2021, and the other end of the arc track 2021 is rotatably connected to the right side of the support frame 2, because the slide groove 203 in the arc track 202 is slidably connected to the arc block 1 402, the arc block 1 402 will be driven to rotate, but because the arc block 2 403 is slidably connected to the slide groove 203 provided inside the arc track 2021, when the motor 1 201 rotates, it will drive the connecting rod 401 and the camera 4 to rotate horizontally, and when the motor 2011 rotates, it will drive the camera 4 to move longitudinally.
[0016] Preferably: the arc track 1 202 and the arc track 2 2021 are both provided with a limit groove 2022 in the middle, a connecting rod 401 is placed at the intersection between the limit groove 2022 of the arc track 1 202 and the limit groove 2022 of the arc track 2 2021, one end of the connecting rod 401 is fixedly connected to the camera 4, the middle of the connecting rod 401 is fixedly connected to the arc block 1 402, and the other end of the connecting rod 401 is fixedly connected to the arc block 2 403, the front side of the arc track 1 202 is provided with a slide groove 203, the rear side of the arc track 2 2021 is provided with a slide groove 203, and the arc block 1 402 is nested in the arc On the slide groove 203 set on the track 1 202, the arc block 2 403 is nested in the slide groove 203 set on the arc track 2021.

[0017] Working principle: When it is necessary to accurately shoot a designated position or individual at a meeting, the rotation angle of motor 1 201 or motor 2 2011 can be controlled by controlling computer 5. For example, when motor 1 201 is started, the rotation of motor 1 201 will drive arc track 1 202 to rotate. At this time, since the slide groove 203 in the arc track 1 202 is slidably connected with the arc block 1 402, it will drive the arc block 1 402 to rotate. However, since the arc block 2 403 is slidably connected to the slide groove 203 provided inside the arc track 2 2021, when motor 1 201 rotates, it will drive the connecting rod 401 and the camera 4 to rotate horizontally, and when motor 2 2011 rotates, it will drive the camera 4 to move longitudinally, thereby realizing high-free rotation of the camera.
