[0026] In specific implementation, when using a drone for aerial photography, it is necessary to fix the camera 8 to the drone's aerial photography bracket, and then take pictures to collect three-dimensional terrain data. When fixing the camera 8 to the rotating frame 7, the fixing seat 15 at the bottom of the camera 8 is inserted into the mounting groove at the top of the rotating frame 7, and then the threaded rod 9 is rotated to perform threaded transmission with the rack 10 to drive the rack 10 to move.
