Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photography auxiliary equipment, in particular to a camera L-plate. Background Art

[0002] At present, when shooting with a camera, it is often necessary to switch between horizontal and vertical screens. When creating videos, external handles, microphones and other accessories are often needed, and they need to be placed on a stabilizer. This kind of multi-scene shooting situation can almost occur in one scene at the same time. In the existing technology, a camera cage needs to be installed on the camera, and accessories such as external handles and microphones are installed on the camera cage. The camera is installed on the stabilizer through the camera cage. Therefore, more stringent requirements are put forward for the external functions of the camera L-plate or cage. However, for the camera L-plate used in the past, its interface is relatively simple. The same camera L-plate can only cooperate with a certain type of quick-release plate or quick-release interface due to its single interface. It has poor versatility and cannot meet the above video shooting needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides a camera L-plate, the purpose of which is to improve versatility and to be able to be connected with quick-release interfaces of different sizes.

[0004] The utility model is realized through the following technical scheme: a camera L-plate, comprising a bottom plate and a vertical plate connected vertically to each other, the two side surfaces of the vertical plate are provided with a first plug-in block groove along the length direction thereof, the vertical plate is also provided with a second plug-in block groove, the second plug-in block groove is symmetrically arranged with the first plug-in block groove on one side of the vertical plate, a first plug-in block is formed between the first plug-in block grooves on both sides of the vertical plate, a second plug-in block is formed between the second plug-in block groove on the vertical plate and the first plug-in block groove on one side of the vertical plate, and a vertical plate limiting groove is provided on a side common to the first plug-in block and the second plug-in block.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, this solution has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0006] In this solution, the width of the first plug block is greater than the width of the second plug block, so that the vertical plate forms a double-slot structure, and the vertical plate limit groove on the side shared by the first plug block and the second plug block is convenient for matching and connecting with the quick-release base (accessories with quick-release function, such as camera gimbals with quick-release function, camera adapters on camera stabilizers, and other devices with quick-release interfaces). In this way, the first plug block and the second plug block are easy to match with quick-release interfaces of different sizes, and the two specifications of plug blocks are unified on the same camera L board, which greatly improves the universal performance of the equipment. In actual use, the first plug block with a larger width can be used for matching and connecting with the quick-release interface of Aka specifications, while the second plug block with a smaller width can be used for matching and connecting with the quick-release interface of Nato specifications.

[0007] In addition, some accessories used with the camera can also be installed on the camera cage through the second plug-in block, so that when the camera is not equipped with any external devices, only a quick-release plate needs to be installed on the camera, and the camera cage is separated from the camera. When external devices need to be installed, the camera cage can be installed on the camera, and the remaining external devices can be installed and connected through the quick-release interface and the second plug-in block of this solution, thereby meeting the needs of external auxiliary devices for video creation. When the camera needs to shoot vertically, the vertical plate of the camera L plate can be directly plugged and installed on the quick-release interface of the camera gimbal to achieve the vertical shooting function.

[0008] Furthermore, the vertical plate is provided with at least one limiting groove.

[0009] Beneficial effects: In this solution, at least one limiting groove of the vertical plate is provided to meet the requirements of disassembly and assembly, but it can also be set to multiple, so that it is convenient to hang multiple accessories at the same time and use it more flexibly.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of the vertical plate limiting grooves are provided, and the plurality of the vertical plate limiting grooves are distributed in sequence along the length direction of the second insert block.

[0011] Beneficial effect: If multiple limiting grooves of the vertical plate are provided, various accessories can be installed on the same camera cage, which is convenient and flexible to use, and the accessories can be installed according to actual needs.

[0012] Furthermore, both sides of the first plug block and both sides of the second plug block are inclined surfaces that are symmetrical to each other.

[0013] Beneficial effect: Such an arrangement enables the first plug-in block and the second plug-in block to form a plug-in block structure with a dovetail shape, which is convenient for connection and cooperation with a quick-install interface with a dovetail groove structure, and this shape can improve the assembly accuracy.

[0014] Furthermore, the corners of the first plug-in block and the second plug-in block at one end away from the bottom plate are both rounded structures.

[0015] Beneficial effect: In this solution, the corner positions of the first plug-in block and the second plug-in block are set to a rounded structure, so that when they are plugged into the slot of the quick-release interface, they can play a guiding role and reduce the resistance when the first plug-in block and the second plug-in block are inserted into the slot, so that the first plug-in block and the second plug-in block can be inserted into the slot more smoothly and quickly to complete the assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, mutually symmetrical first inclined grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom plate, and a bottom plate limiting groove is provided on at least one side of the bottom plate.

[0017] Beneficial effects: In this solution, the oblique grooves on both sides of the bottom plate and the bottom plate limiting grooves can cooperate with the dovetail grooves in the quick-release interface, so that the quick-release interface can be connected to the bottom plate, thereby facilitating docking with camera accessories.

[0018] Furthermore, one end of the bottom plate away from the vertical plate is connected to a base, the width of the base is greater than the width of the bottom plate, and sockets are provided on both sides of the base, and the two sockets are respectively connected to the first inclined grooves on both sides of the bottom plate.

[0019] Beneficial effect: In this solution, the base is located below the camera handle, which supports the handheld camera. At the same time, the dovetail slot insertion openings of the traditional camera base plate are all on the left (the handle end is the right). This structure is difficult to use on the stabilizer because the cantilever of the stabilizer is designed on the right. Therefore, the traditional camera base plate cannot use its own dovetail slot to directly insert into the dovetail slot mounting seat on the stabilizer (the stabilizer cantilever blocks the insertion opening on the left side of the camera base plate, and the right side of the camera base plate is the handle and cannot be inserted). Therefore, when using a stabilizer to shoot, the camera base plate needs to be installed with a square dovetail slot to solve the installation problem.

[0020] The sockets opened on both sides of the base in this solution provide the traditional camera base with a second dovetail slot socket. This technology allows the traditional camera base to use the newly added sockets to be directly inserted into the dovetail slot mounting seat on the stabilizer, eliminating the burden brought by the external quick release plate. This technology can be used in all models of camera bases and is an application of a new technology in traditional camera bases.

[0021] Furthermore, a second oblique groove is provided on the bottom plate, and the second oblique groove is symmetrically arranged with the first oblique groove on one side of the bottom plate, a first bottom plate plug block is formed between the first oblique grooves on both sides of the bottom plate, and a second bottom plate plug block is formed between the second oblique groove and the first oblique groove on one side of the bottom plate, and the bottom plate limiting groove is provided on a side common to the first bottom plate plug block and the second bottom plate plug block.

[0022] Beneficial effect: In this solution, the bottom plate, like the vertical plate, also has a double dovetail groove interface that cooperates with the quick-release interfaces of the Arca specification dovetail groove and the Nato specification dovetail groove. The first bottom plate plug-in block with a larger width can be used for the Arca specification quick-release interface for matching connection, and the second bottom plate plug-in block with a smaller width can be used for the Nato specification quick-release interface for matching connection, further improving the universal performance of the equipment.

[0023] Furthermore, the bottom plate and the vertical plate are integrally formed.

[0024] Beneficial effects: In this solution, the base and the vertical plate are integrated into one body, the structure is stable and firm, and it is easy to manufacture and process. The two are matched to reduce the assembly process and are easy to use.

[0025] Furthermore, a cold shoe interface is provided at one end of the bottom plate.

[0026] Beneficial effect: The cold shoe interface is convenient for inserting other auxiliary accessories and has multifunctionality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The schematic implementation manner of the utility model and its description are only used to explain the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment 1 provides a camera L-board, including a bottom plate 2 and a vertical plate 1 vertically connected to each other. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 2 and the vertical plate 1 are integrally formed.

[0038] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the left and right sides of the vertical plate 1 are provided with first plug-in slots 104 along the length direction thereof, and the left and right sides of the vertical plate 1 are provided with second plug-in slots 105 along the length direction thereof. In this embodiment, the middle position of the vertical plate 1 is provided with the second plug-in slot 105 along the length direction thereof, and the first plug-in slots 104 on both sides of the vertical plate 1 form the first plug-in block 102, and the second plug-in block 103 is formed between the second plug-in slot 105 on the vertical plate 1 and the first plug-in slot 104 on one side of the vertical plate 1, and the vertical plate limiting groove 101 is provided on the side shared by the first plug-in block 102 and the second plug-in block 103, and in this embodiment, the vertical plate limiting groove 101 is located on the left side of the vertical plate 1. At least one vertical plate limiting groove 101 is provided, that is, the vertical plate limiting groove 101 may be provided with one, two or more vertical plate limiting grooves 101, and in this embodiment, multiple vertical plate limiting grooves 101 are provided, and the multiple vertical plate limiting grooves 101 are distributed equidistantly in sequence along the length direction of the second plug-in block 103.

[0039] Combination Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the first plug block 102 and both sides of the second plug block 103 are symmetrical inclined surfaces, so that the first plug block 102 and the second plug block 103 form a dovetail plug block structure, which is convenient for later mutual cooperation with the dovetail slot-shaped slot, and the cooperation accuracy is higher. In addition, in this embodiment, the corners of the first plug block 102 and the second plug block 103 at one end away from the bottom plate 2 are both rounded structures.

[0040] In this embodiment, the width of the first plug block 102 is greater than the width of the second plug block 103. The first plug block 102 and the second plug block 103 enable the same vertical board 1 to be connected with quick-release interfaces of different sizes. In actual use, the first plug block 102 with a larger width can be used for the quick-release interface of Aka specifications, while the second plug block 103 with a smaller width can be used for the quick-release interface of Nato specifications. In this embodiment, two plug blocks of different specifications can be used for a set of vertical board limiting grooves 101 of the same specifications, which is very economical and practical.

[0041] The camera L-board structure of the present embodiment, when the camera is shooting in horizontal screen normally, the bottom plate 2 of the camera L-board is connected to the bottom of the camera and installed on the Arca standard quick release interface of equipment such as a camera stabilizer, a camera gimbal, or a tripod for use; when vertical screen shooting is required, the camera L-board can be directly installed on the quick release plate or quick release interface on the Arca standard gimbal through the first plug block 102 on the vertical plate 1 for coordinated use. In this way, without the need to repeatedly disassemble and install the camera, the vertical plate 1 of the camera L-board only needs to be matched with the corresponding interface to achieve the effect of vertical screen shooting. In this way, it is possible to switch freely between vertical screen shooting and horizontal screen shooting without disassembling the camera to meet the camera's horizontal and vertical screen switching shooting.

[0042] When shooting a video, other accessories such as the camera side handle and the cold shoe expansion seat can be directly installed on the second plug block 103 on the vertical plate 1, achieving the effect of one object for two purposes. The double dovetail plug block structure on the camera L plate in this embodiment can be used with quick-release interfaces of different specifications, and has universality and convenience of use.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, mutually symmetrical first inclined grooves are opened on both sides of the bottom plate 2, so that the bottom plate 2 forms a dovetail plug structure that cooperates with the dovetail groove interface, and a bottom plate limiting groove 201 is opened on at least one side of the bottom plate 2, and there are multiple bottom plate limiting grooves 201 on both sides of the bottom plate 2, and the multiple bottom plate limiting grooves 201 are distributed in sequence and equidistantly along the length direction of the bottom plate 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the end of the bottom plate 2 away from the vertical plate 1 is integrally connected with a base 202, the interior of the base 202 is rectangular and hollow, the width of the base 202 is greater than the width of the bottom plate 2, and both sides of the base 202 are provided with sockets 203, and the two sockets 203 are respectively connected to the first inclined grooves on both sides of the bottom plate 2. In this embodiment, a cold shoe interface is provided at the end of the bottom plate 2 close to the vertical plate for connecting other camera accessories.

[0046] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 2 has two insertion directions, and the corresponding quick-install interfaces can be plugged in from the left and right ends of the bottom plate 2 .

[0047] The dovetail slot insertion openings of the traditional camera base plate are all on the left side (the handle end is on the right), and this structure is difficult to use on the stabilizer because the cantilever of the stabilizer is designed on the right side. Therefore, the traditional camera base plate cannot use its own dovetail slot to directly insert into the dovetail slot mounting seat on the stabilizer for use (the stabilizer cantilever blocks the insertion opening on the left side of the camera base plate, and the right side of the camera base plate is the handle and cannot be inserted). Therefore, when using the stabilizer to shoot, the camera base plate needs to be installed with an additional square dovetail slot to solve the installation problem. This embodiment allows the traditional camera base plate to have a second dovetail slot socket (i.e., the socket 203 located on the right side of the base plate 2). This technology allows the traditional camera base plate to use the newly added second socket (the socket 203 on the right side of the base plate 2) to be directly inserted into the dovetail slot mounting seat on the stabilizer for use, eliminating the burden brought by the external quick-release plate. This technology can be used in all models of camera base plates and is a new technology used in traditional camera base plates.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that in this embodiment, a second inclined groove is further provided on the bottom plate 2, and the second inclined groove is symmetrically arranged with the first inclined groove on one side of the bottom plate, a first bottom plate plug block 3 is formed between the first inclined grooves on both sides of the bottom plate 2, and a second bottom plate plug block 4 is formed between the second inclined groove and the first inclined groove on one side of the bottom plate 2, and a bottom plate limiting groove 201 is provided on the side shared by the first bottom plate plug block 3 and the second bottom plate plug block 4.

[0050] In this embodiment, the bottom plate limiting grooves 201 are opened on both sides of the bottom plate 2, so that the first bottom plate plug block 3 and the second bottom plate plug block 4 can be matched and connected with the corresponding models of Aka specification quick-release interface and Nato specification block interface. The interface of the first bottom plate plug block 3 and the second bottom plate plug block 4 on the bottom plate 2 is similar to the interface on the vertical plate 1, so that the bottom plate 2 also has a double dovetail groove interface structure, which effectively improves the versatility of the equipment.
