[0039] Figures 1 to 4 A handheld gimbal provided for an embodiment of the present application, the handheld gimbal includes a connection base 10 and a holding assembly, and the connection base 10 is used to connect photographic equipment; for example Figure 2 the mobile phone shown in Figure 4 and the camera shown in. The holding assembly has a double-grip state and a single-grip state; the holding assembly includes two holding members, the holding members are rotatably connected to the connection base 10, and the two holding members are respectively provided with engaging portions 3; wherein, in the single-grip state, the two holding members rotate towards each other until the two engaging portions 3 are snap-fitted; in the double-grip state, the two holding members rotate away from each other until the two engaging portions 3 are separated.

[0040] By respectively providing engaging portions 3 on two holding members, when the two engaging portions 3 are engaged and cooperated, the two holding members are connected to form an integral holding structure, and the user can hold it with one hand. When the user needs to perform a two-handed holding operation, the two holding members can be separated, and then the two holding members can be held respectively. Thus, this embodiment has both a single-grip state and a double-grip state, and can be flexibly and conveniently switched between the single-grip state and the double-grip state. Moreover, the engaging and cooperating of the engaging portions 3 can make the cooperation of the two holding members more firm, not prone to loosening and deformation, and more reliable and practical.

[0041] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, when the connecting seat 10 is connected to the mobile phone, a mobile phone clip is connected to the connecting seat 10, and the mobile phone clip has a clamping space for clamping the mobile phone. The mobile phone clip includes a fixed arm, a connecting arm and a movable arm. The two ends of the connecting arm are respectively connected to the fixed arm and the movable arm. Clamping grooves are respectively provided on the connecting arm and the movable arm, and the two clamping grooves are oppositely arranged to form a clamping space. The fixed wall is detachably connected to the connecting seat 10, and the movable wall is movably connected to the connecting arm; the mobile phone clip further includes an adjusting screw, and the adjusting screw movably penetrates through the movable arm and is threadedly connected to the movable arm. The mobile phone is locked or unlocked in the clamping space by screwing the adjusting screw.

[0042] Among them, as Figure 4 shown, when the connecting seat 10 is connected to the camera, a camera cage is connected to the connecting seat 10, and the camera cage is used for assembling the camera to improve the stability of the camera.

[0043] In this embodiment, both holding members are rotatably connected to the connecting seat 10, which is convenient for adjustment, especially for adjusting the orientation of the photographic equipment on the connecting portion. In other embodiments, it is also possible to choose to make only one holding member rotatable and the other holding member fixed to the connecting seat 10.

[0044] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the engaging portion 3 is provided with a plurality of engaging teeth 31 arranged at intervals to form an engaging groove; among them, in the single-grip state, the engaging teeth 31 of one holding member are inserted into the engaging groove of the other holding member. Such two engaging portions 3 have a simple structure, and the switching between the single-grip state and the double-grip state is simple and convenient.

[0045] It can be understood that when the engaging teeth 31 and the engaging grooves of the two holding members are engaged and cooperated with each other, the engaging teeth 31 of the two holding members are alternately engaged to join the two holding members together to form a holding structure. Since the engaging teeth 31 are inserted into the engaging grooves, in this way, the circumferential dimension of the holding structure formed after the two holding members are engaged is greatly reduced, and the user can hold it with one hand, and the stability during holding is high.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the holding member includes a rocker arm 20 and a handle 30, the rocker arm 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 10; the handle 30 is connected to the end of the rocker arm 20 away from the connecting seat 10; the handle 30 is set at an angle to the rocker arm 20; wherein, in the single-grip state, the two rocker arms 20 are stacked.

[0047] It can be understood that the connection between the handle 30 and the connecting base 10 is achieved through the rocker arm 20. The two handles 30 can be relatively unfolded to the two sides of the connecting base 10 through the rotatable rocker arm 20 so that the user can hold them with both hands. The two handles 30 can also be spliced together through the rotatable rocker arm 20 and the engaging teeth 31 so that the user can hold them with one hand, which is more flexible and convenient to use. The cooperation of the engaging teeth 31 can make the splicing of the two handles 30 more secure, less likely to loosen and deform, and more reliable and practical.

[0048] The rocker 20 and handle 30 are arranged at an angle, providing a more comfortable grip, easier application of force, and a more stable hold. When the two grips engage to form the grip structure, the rockers 20 are stacked, preventing interference. In this embodiment, the handle 30 and rocker 20 are arranged perpendicularly.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a plurality of the engaging teeth 31 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the handle 30. In this way, more engaging teeth 31 can be provided to form more engaging grooves, and the engaging teeth 31 of the two gripping members can improve the stability of the engagement.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the handle 30 is provided with an extension structure for connecting an extension accessory 40. It is understandable that the extension structure provided on the handle 30 for connecting an extension accessory 40 facilitates the connection of common extension accessories 40 such as microphones, speakers, and fill lights, making it more flexible and convenient to use and meeting more needs.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the expansion structure includes an expansion slot 32 provided at the top of the handle 30. The expansion slot 32 is a T-shaped slot, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and use, and has a wider range of applications. In other embodiments, the expansion structure may also adopt other commonly used structures such as screw holes, quick-connect guide rails, etc., and is not limited to these.

[0052] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the handle 30 is provided with anti-slip ridges for easy gripping.

[0053] In some embodiments, a handle 30 is rotatably provided with an anti-drop ring. When the two handles 30 are put together, the anti-drop ring can be rotated to be put outside the other handle 30. This can prevent the two handles 30 from loosening after being put together, which is more reliable.

[0054] In some embodiments, an elastic hook is provided on one rocker arm 20, which can be hooked on the other rocker arm 20 when the two handles 30 are engaged together, and is used to limit the separation of the two handles 30. It can also prevent the two handles 30 from loosening after being assembled, which is more reliable. When the two handles 30 need to be unfolded, it is only necessary to bend the hook to make it staggered with the rocker arm 20.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the connecting base 10 is provided with a locking disk 13, which is threadedly connected to the connecting base 10. The rocker 20 is sandwiched between the connecting base 10 and the locking disk 13. Rotating the locking disk 13 can lock or unlock the two rocker arms 20 from the connecting base 10. Thus, when the two grips are rotated to the desired position, the locking disk 13 locks the grips, securing their positions and preventing relative rotation between the connecting base 10 and the grips during shooting, which could affect the quality of the shot. This locking action also secures the two grips, ensuring a stable fit in a single-grip position and a fixed angle between them in a dual-grip position. To adjust the grip position, the locking disk 13 can be loosened to unlock the grip. Therefore, the provision of the locking disk 13 in this embodiment allows for both fixed and flexible adjustment of the grip positions.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the connecting seat 10 includes a seat body 100, a knob 12 and a connecting column 11, the seat body 100 has a accommodating cavity; one side of the seat body 100 is connected to the gripping piece; the knob 12 is arranged in the accommodating cavity; the connecting column 11 is connected to the knob 12, and passes through the side of the seat body 100 away from the gripping piece for connecting to the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is used to assemble the capture equipment.

[0057] It is understandable that the base body 100 provides a stable connection base. By turning the knob 12, the connecting column 11 can be locked or unlocked with the mounting bracket to facilitate the installation and replacement of the mounting bracket to adapt to different ingestion equipment.

[0058] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the connecting column 11 is provided with an external thread. The connecting portion adopts a connecting screw, which can be connected to a mobile phone clamp to clamp the mobile phone, or directly connected to a camera or other photographic equipment.

[0059] In other embodiments, the connection base 10 may also be provided with other common connection structures such as quick-release guide rails, screw holes, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0060] It should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" as used herein may also include the plural.
