[0009] The upper side of the arc plate corresponds to the bottom of the groove body with a spring sheet, the spring sheet and the arc plate are integrally arranged, the spring sheet is an arc structure, one side of which is integrally connected to the outer arc side of the arc plate. A weight reduction hole is provided at the connection position between the arc plate and the spring sheet. The hinged sides corresponding to the clamp and the arc plate are both hinge shafts, and the end side of the side wall has a hinge groove for accommodating the hinge shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the release member is an electromagnetic release member, which is installed on the mounting frame, and the release member has a slot for the lock to be inserted.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting frame has a mounting plate on its upper side for mounting on the bottom of the drone, and the mounting plate has a plurality of mounting holes for fixing.

[0012] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: when installing the mount, the mount is placed in the slot, and then the clamp is rotated to surround and support the bottom of the mount, and the lock corresponding to the free side of the clamp is stretched by the elastic band and extended to the release part, locked, and the mount is fixed. Since the mount is tightly attached to the mount frame, the swing problem caused by the flexible steel cable suspension process is avoided. After the drone transports the mount to the designated place, it can also be positioned and dropped. The release part can automatically unfasten the lock, and then the clamp is flipped open under the action of the hinged side to release the mount. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
