Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photography auxiliary equipment, in particular to a multifunctional double-slot conversion seat. Background Art
[0002] The development of video technology has added countless fun to the lives of ordinary people. Some people like to shoot horizontal videos, while others like to shoot vertical videos. When shooting on a tripod or stabilizer, switching between horizontal and vertical screens usually requires changing the installation position of the camera L-plate or camera cage. Currently, most camera L-plates or camera cages on the market (with Arca plugs as standard at the bottom) do not have Arca-specification dovetail slots on the sides because there are wiring ports on the sides of the cameras. Instead, they almost all have Nato-specification small slides on the sides. Therefore, if there is a clamp that can clamp both Arca-specification dovetail slots and Nato-specification small slides, it will greatly facilitate horizontal and vertical screen shooting with such camera L-plates and camera cages. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a clamping device that can clamp both Arca and Nato dovetail slot inserts, aiming to solve the problem of inconvenience in clamping when switching between horizontal and vertical screens for shooting on most camera L-plates or camera cages currently on the market. At the same time, through its special design, the utility model can also be directly installed on a DJI stabilizer, giving the DJI stabilizer base the function of one-click installation and quick disassembly.
[0004] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions: a multifunctional double-slot conversion seat, comprising an adapter base, a first slot being provided on the adapter base, a switching groove being provided on the bottom of the first slot, a switching block being rotatably fitted in the switching groove, the switching block being able to be folded in the switching groove, and also being able to be flipped in the switching groove to form a second slot between the switching block and one side of the first slot; a conversion slot being provided on one side of the switching block, and the switching slot being able to be symmetrically arranged with one side of the first slot after flipping the switching block;
[0005] A locking drive member is provided on the adapter base for sliding engagement in a direction perpendicular to the first slot, and an elastic member is provided between the locking drive member and the adapter base; the locking drive member can lock or unlock the quick-release plate inserted into the first slot and the second slot.
[0006] Compared with the existing technology, this solution has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0007] In this solution, it is applicable to quick-release plates of two specifications. When cooperating with the quick-release plate of the Arca specification, the switching block is folded and stored in the switching groove, so that the quick-release plate of the Arca specification is inserted into the first slot, and the quick-release plate inserted into the first slot is locked and fixed by the locking driving member, thereby realizing the quick assembly of the two.
[0008] When cooperating with the quick-release plate of the NATO specification, by flipping the switching block rotatably fitted in the switching groove, a second slot is formed on one side of the first slot, and then the quick-release plate of the NATO specification is inserted into the second slot and locked and fixed by the locking driving member to realize the quick assembly of the two.
[0009] This solution can adapt to quick-release plates of different specifications on the same adapter base. This technology can be applied to camera L-plates and camera cages. As long as there is a NATO slide bar on the side of the camera (or a NATO slide bar can be additionally installed), it is very convenient to realize horizontal and vertical screen shooting, achieving dual use of one thing, greatly improving the shooting efficiency and enhancing the user experience.
[0010] Furthermore, the locking driving member includes a locking mechanism, a button unlocking mechanism and a transition block;
[0011] Both ends of the transition block are respectively connected to the locking mechanism and the button unlocking mechanism;
[0012] The locking mechanism includes a limiting block, the limiting block is connected to the transition block, and the conversion slot faces the limiting block after flipping the switching block;
[0013] A receiving cavity is formed on one side of the adapter base. Pressing the button unlocking mechanism can compress the elastic member and push the limiting block to slide into the receiving cavity. When the elastic member resets, the limiting block can slide out of the receiving cavity and be located inside the first slot.
[0014] Beneficial effects: The quick-assembly device in this solution can be used in combination with a quick-release plate in actual application. The quick-release plate can be an auxiliary connecting member installed on a target device (such as a camera). Usually, a limiting groove that engages with the limiting block on the quick-release base is provided on the quick-release plate. The first slot provided on the adapter base in this solution is used to achieve plug-in cooperation with the quick-release plate, and the locking driving member on the adapter base is used to drive the adapter base and the quick-release plate to achieve a state of mutual locking or loosening.
[0015] In this solution, the locking drive component is composed of three parts, among which the limit block in the locking mechanism is connected to the button unlocking mechanism through a transition block. In this way, when the elastic member is not compressed, the limit block slides out of the accommodating cavity of the adapter base and is located inside the first slot, which is convenient for plugging and cooperating with the quick-release plate. During the process of inserting the quick-release plate into the first slot, the elastic member will be compressed and the limit block will be pushed into the accommodating cavity until the limit groove on the quick-release plate is aligned with the limit block. At this time, since the limit block is not subjected to the thrust of the quick-release plate, the limit block will be stuck in the groove of the quick-release plate under the action of the elastic member to lock the quick-release plate, thereby achieving a quick installation effect.
[0016] When the adapter base needs to be disassembled from the quick-release plate, the button is pressed to unlock the mechanism to compress the elastic part again, and at the same time, the limit block is pushed to slide into the accommodating cavity. At this time, the limit block is disengaged from the limit groove on the quick-release plate, and the quick-release plate can be separated from the quick-release base.
[0017] In the locking drive component of this solution, the locking mechanism, the button unlocking mechanism and the transition block are interconnected to form a whole. Its structure is simple, and the thickness and volume of the entire structure can be made thinner and smaller, which can meet the requirements of lightweight production. The quick-release base in this solution is easy to use and is used to install a matching quick-release plate or equipment with a quick-release plate interface to achieve the purpose of quick disassembly and assembly.
[0018] In addition, in this solution, after flipping the switching block, the conversion slot faces the limit block, so that the conversion slot is opposite to the slot on one side of the first slot, forming a second slot, which is convenient for snapping together with a quick-release plate of another specification. In this way, the first slot and the second slot on the same adapter base can share the same set of locking drive parts.
[0019] Furthermore, the button unlocking mechanism includes a button and a button connector, the button and the button connector are laterally slidably matched, and the button connector is connected to the transition block;
[0020] A toggle slot is provided on one side of the adapter base, and the button can pass through the toggle slot. Toggling the button laterally can cause the button to shift laterally in the toggle slot so that the end of the button abuts against the bottom of the toggle slot.
[0021] Beneficial effects: The quick-release base in this solution can be used in many devices, especially when the quick-release base is used on relatively valuable items and equipment, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the locking state between the quick-release base and the quick-release plate. The existing technology only has one layer of locking, that is, the locking state is achieved when the limit block on the adapter base is stuck in the limit groove on the quick-release plate. However, this method is prone to misoperation of the button unlocking mechanism, which may cause the quick-release plate to separate from the adapter base.
[0022] To solve the above problems, in this solution, after the limit block is clamped and locked with the limit groove on the quick-release plate, the button is horizontally toggled, so that the end of the button abuts against the bottom of the toggling groove on the adapter base and is stuck on the bottom of the toggling groove. At this time, the button is blocked by the bottom of the toggling groove, resulting in the button not being able to be pressed at this time, thus effectively playing an insurance role and preventing the accidental operation of the button in the locked state, which may cause the adapter base to be separated from the quick-release plate. This solution can achieve a double locking function between the adapter base and the quick-release plate, which is more secure and can effectively prevent valuable items from accidentally slipping, thereby avoiding economic losses.
[0023] Further, a positioning concave hole is provided at the end of the button connecting member, and a positioning member is provided at one end of the button. The positioning member includes a positioning ball, a positioning cylinder and a positioning spring. The positioning cylinder is connected to the button, the positioning spring is located inside the positioning cylinder, and the positioning ball is connected to the positioning cylinder through the positioning spring; horizontally toggling the button can make the positioning ball stuck in the positioning concave hole to position the button and the button connecting member.
[0024] Beneficial effects: The positioning concave hole provided at the end of the button connecting member in the button unlocking mechanism of this solution cooperates with the positioning member provided at the end of the button. While horizontally toggling the button, the positioning ball can move and be stuck in the positioning concave hole, providing precise positioning and a clear gear feel for the button. Moreover, after toggling the button, it can play a role in positioning the moving position of the button and prevent the button from sliding back and resetting by itself.
[0025] Further, the switching block can be flipped 90 degrees, and a limiting member for limiting the folding position and flipping position of the switching block is connected to the adapter base.
[0026] Beneficial effects: In this solution, after the switching block is flipped 90 degrees, a second slot can be formed with one side of the first slot, and the setting of the limiting member can play a role in positioning the positions of the switching block after folding and flipping.
[0027] Further, a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole are provided on the outer side of the switching block, and the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are arranged at 90 degrees;
[0028] The limiting member includes a mounting cylinder, a limiting ball and a limiting spring. The limiting spring is located inside the mounting cylinder, and the two ends of the limiting spring are respectively connected to the mounting cylinder and the limiting ball;
[0029] When the switching block is in the folded position, the limiting ball can be stuck into the first positioning hole. When the switching block is in the flipped position, the limiting ball can be stuck into the second positioning hole.
[0030] Beneficial effects: The limiting bead can be inserted into the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole to ensure the stability of the switching block, and the limiting spring in this solution can drive the limiting bead to provide positioning and a clear gear feel when flipping or folding the switching block.
[0031] Furthermore, an insert block is connected to the bottom of the adapter base, and the insert block and one side of the bottom of the adapter base form a single-sided groove, and both ends of the single-sided groove are connected to each other.
[0032] Beneficial effects: In this solution, the single-sided groove formed between the plug block and one side of the bottom of the adapter base can be embedded in the dovetail groove mounting seat of a stabilizer of specific specifications to meet the docking requirements, and the locking mechanism of the adapter base can be set on the outside of the single-sided groove. The single-sided groove can span one side of the dovetail groove of the stabilizer. Compared with the method of transferring by overlapping thickness, the single-sided groove structure of this solution can greatly reduce the height of the adapter base, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the camera and making the camera have more room to move on the stabilizer, which is of great significance for handheld camera stabilizers.
[0033] Furthermore, two adjacent sides of the bottom of the insert block are provided with grooves.
[0034] Benefits: Currently, no gimbals have a one-button quick-release / installation feature. For example, the DJI RS3 gimbal has a unique dovetail mount design, so standard Arca-spec quick-release adapters can't directly connect to the DJI gimbal's base. Therefore, implementing quick-release functionality on the RS3 is quite complex.
[0035] In this solution, when the adapter base is docked with a base without a quick-release function (such as the DJI RS3 or RSmini stabilizer), the "anti-drop lever" in the dovetail groove base of the docking stabilizer can slide into any of the two grooves to complete the docking, thereby enabling the DJI stabilizer quick-release base plate to have a quick-release function. The two through-grooves design allows the camera adapter base to switch between 0 and 90 degrees when used on the DJI RS3 stabilizer and the DJI RSmini stabilizer, ensuring that the long camera quick-release plate (the long quick-release plate can only be inserted into the stabilizer horizontally) can be used on the stabilizer.
[0036] Furthermore, an expansion slot communicating with one side of the switching groove is provided on the bottom of the first slot.
[0037] Beneficial effect: The arrangement of the expansion slot in this solution makes it convenient to expose one side of the switch block, making it easier for the user to flip the switch block by hand.
[0038] Furthermore, a hand-carrying slot is provided on one side of the switching block, and when the switching block is folded in the switching groove, the hand-carrying slot faces the expansion slot.
[0039] Beneficial effects: In this solution, a hand slot is provided on one side of the switching block, providing a force application space for the user to flip the switching block, facilitating the flipping operation and enhancing the user experience. Description of the Drawings

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The schematic implementation methods of the present invention and their descriptions are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0053] Example 1
[0054] like Figures 1 - 4 As shown, this embodiment 1 provides a multifunctional dual-slot adapter, including an adapter base 1, which has a first slot formed in a dovetail slot and a through-slot structure. A switching groove 3 is formed at the bottom of the first slot, located in the middle of the first slot and having a rectangular shape.
[0055] A switching block 4 is rotatably fitted in the switching groove 3. The switching block 4 can be folded in the switching groove 3, or it can be flipped 90 degrees in the switching groove 3 to form a second slot between the switching block 4 and one side of the first slot. When the switching block 4 is folded in the switching groove 3, its height is lower than the notch of the switching groove 3, thereby ensuring the flatness of the bottom of the first slot.
[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, both ends of the switching block 4 are threadedly connected with fixed screws 5, and one end of the fixed screw 5 is coaxially connected with a screw head 501. Through holes communicating with the switching groove 3 are opened on both sides, and the screw head 501 is located in the through hole and rotates with the through hole. The switching block 4 rotates with the two sides of the switching groove 3 through the two fixed screws 5 and the screw head 501, thereby facilitating the flipping or folding of the switching block 4.
[0057] An extension slot 301 communicating with one side of the switching groove 3 is formed on the bottom of the first slot. The extension slot 301 is arc-shaped. The arrangement of the extension slot 301 facilitates the user to rotate the switching block 4 with the hand so that one end of the switching block 4 flips out of the switching groove 3. As shown in Figure 3, a handle slot 401 is formed on one side of the switching block 4. The handle slot 401 is strip-shaped. When the switching block 4 is folded in the switching groove 3, the handle slot 401 faces the extension slot 301. In this way, when flipping the switching block 4, the finger can be inserted into the handle slot 401 to flip the switching block 4 upward, making the operation more convenient.
[0058] As Figure 4 shown, a conversion slot 402 is formed on one side of the switching block 4. After flipping the switching block 4, the conversion slot 402 can be symmetrically arranged with one side of the first slot. The bottom of the conversion slot 402 is a plane, and one side of the conversion slot 402 is an inclined surface. In this way, after flipping the switching block 4, the second slot formed by the conversion slot 402 of the switching block 4 and one side of the first slot is also a dovetail groove structure.
[0059] A locking driving member is slidably fitted on the adapter base 1 along a direction perpendicular to the first slot. The adapter base 1 has a cavity for accommodating the locking driving member, and the locking driving member can slide in the cavity. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, an elastic member 906 is provided between the locking driving member and the adapter base 1. In this embodiment, the elastic member 906 is a spring; the locking driving member can lock or unlock the quick-release plate inserted into the first slot and the second slot. Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the locking driving member includes a locking mechanism, a button unlocking mechanism, and a transition block 905; both ends of the transition block 905 are respectively connected to the locking mechanism and the button unlocking mechanism. The locking mechanism and the button unlocking mechanism are movably arranged on both sides of the adapter base 1, and their positions can be flexibly set according to actual needs.
[0060] Specifically: The locking driving member includes a limiting block 901 and a fixing screw 902. The rod portion of the fixing screw 902 is threadedly connected to the transition block 905. As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment, the upper part of the limiting block 901 is in a convex shape, and the side of the limiting block 901 facing the transition block 905 is an arc convex surface. Both symmetric surfaces at the top of the limiting block 901 are inclined surfaces. In this way, when cooperating with the limiting groove of the quick-release plate, they can be clamped more tightly, and the positioning effect is better.
[0061] After flipping the switching block 4, the conversion slot 402 faces the limiting block 901, so as to facilitate locking the quick-release plate inserted into the second slot. The limiting block 901 is connected to the transition block 905. In this embodiment, the limiting block 901 and the transition block 905 are integrally formed or connected to the transition block 905 through a fixing screw 902. Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the upper part of the limiting block 901 is in a convex shape, and the side of the limiting block 901 facing the transition block 905 is an arc convex surface. Both symmetric surfaces at the top of the limiting block 901 are inclined surfaces. In this way, when cooperating with the limiting groove of the quick-release plate, they can be clamped more tightly, and the positioning effect is better.
[0062] After flipping the switching block 4, the conversion slot 402 faces the limiting block 901, so as to facilitate locking the quick-release plate inserted into the second slot. The limiting block 901 is connected to the transition block 905. In this embodiment, the limiting block 901 and the transition block 905 are integrally formed or connected to the transition block 905 through a fixing screw 902.
[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a accommodating cavity 102 and a sliding hole 101 are opened on one side of the adapter base 1, and the accommodating cavity 102 and the sliding hole 101 are communicated with each other. The limit block 901 can move in the accommodating cavity 102 along a direction perpendicular to the first slot, and the axial direction of the sliding hole 101 is consistent with the running direction of the limit block 901. The head of the fixing screw 902 is located in the sliding hole 101 and slides with the axial direction of the sliding hole 101. The head of the fixing screw 902 is a cylindrical structure with arc-shaped edges on both sides. The width of the head of the fixing screw 902 is greater than the width of the lower part of the limit block 901, and the fixing screw 902 is threadedly connected to the lower part of the limit block 901.
[0064] Pressing the button to unlock the mechanism can compress the elastic member 906 and push the limiting block 901 to slide into the accommodating cavity 102. When the elastic member 906 is reset, the limiting block 901 can slide out of the accommodating cavity 102 and be located inside the first slot.
[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the button unlocking mechanism includes a button 903 and a button connector 904, the button 903 and the button connector 904 are horizontally slidingly matched, and the button connector 904 is connected to the transition block 905; in this embodiment, a T-shaped slot is provided at one end of the button 903, and one end of the button connector 904 is T-shaped, and the T-shaped end of the button connector 904 is inserted into the T-shaped slot of the button 903 and horizontally slidingly matched therewith.
[0066] A toggle slot 10 is provided on one side of the adapter base 1, and the button 903 can pass through the toggle slot 10. Laterally toggling the button 903 can cause the button 903 to move laterally in the toggle slot 10 so that the end of the button 903 is against the bottom of the toggle slot 10, thereby locking the button 903. In this way, when a locked state is required, the button 903 can be protected from misoperation and cannot be pressed, thereby achieving a double locking effect, and the connection between accessories is safer and more stable.
[0067] 907 , the button 903 is provided with a positioning member at one end thereof, and the number of the positioning members is less than the number of the positioning members 907 . The positioning member includes a positioning bead 908 , a positioning cylinder 910 and a positioning spring 909 . The positioning cylinder 910 is connected to the button 903 . In this embodiment, the positioning cylinder 910 is inserted into one side of the T-slot of the button 903 , the positioning spring 909 is located in the positioning cylinder 910 , and the positioning bead 908 and the positioning cylinder 910 are connected by the positioning spring 909 . When the positioning spring 909 is not compressed, a part of the positioning bead 908 protrudes from the T-slot of the button 903 . When the button 903 is toggled laterally , the positioning bead 908 can be stuck in the positioning cavity 907 to position the button 903 and the button connector 904 , thereby preventing the button 903 from sliding back on its own after the button 903 is toggled to the specified position.
[0068] In this embodiment, the first slot and the second slot share the same locking drive mechanism, that is, when the switching block 4 is flipped over, the conversion slot 402 on the switching block 4 is opposite to the side of the first slot having the limit block 901 .
[0069] The specific implementation process is as follows: the adapter base 1 in this embodiment can be used for two specifications of quick-release plates (Aka specification quick-release plate and Nato specification quick-release plate, the width of the Aka specification quick-release plate is larger than that of the Nato specification quick-release plate). One side of the quick-release plate usually has a limiting groove that engages with the limiting block 901. When the Aka specification quick-release plate is used, the switching block 4 is folded in the switching groove 3, and the Aka specification quick-release plate is directly inserted into the first slot. During the insertion into the first slot, when the quick-release plate contacts the limiting block 901, it will gradually squeeze the limiting block 901 and compress the elastic member 906, so that the limiting block 901 gradually retreats into the accommodating cavity 102. At this time, the quick-release plate can pass smoothly. When the limiting groove on the quick-release plate moves to a position opposite to the limiting block 901, the limiting block 901 will be reset under the action of the elastic member 906 and snap into the limiting groove to lock the quick-release plate in position.
[0070] When using a Nato-spec quick-release plate, flip the switch block 4 so that the conversion slot 402 on the switch block 4 is aligned with the side of the first slot with the stopper 901, thus forming a second slot. The narrower Nato-spec quick-release plate can then be inserted into the second slot, where it is locked by the stopper 901 in the plate's retaining groove.
[0071] During the above operation, when the button 903 needs to provide an accidental operation insurance in the locked state, the button 903 is laterally shifted in the toggle slot 10 by toggling the button 903 horizontally, and is stuck on the bottom of the toggle slot 10. At this time, the button 903 cannot be pressed, thereby playing a double insurance role, avoiding the accidental pressing of the button 903, which may cause the quick-release plate to separate from the adapter base 1 and cause losses such as the device falling.
[0072] When the quick-release plate is to be removed, the button 903 is toggled in the opposite direction so that the button 903 can be pressed. Then, by pressing the button 903, the button connector 904 is driven by the button 903 to push the transition block 905 and the limit block 901 toward the outside of the limit groove of the quick-release plate. When the limit block 901 is completely out of the limit groove of the quick-release plate, the quick-release plate can be removed smoothly and the disassembly work is completed.
[0073] This embodiment utilizes the same quick-release mechanism to accommodate various quick-release plates. Normally, the switch block 4 is hidden within the switch groove 3. When the camera uses an Arca-standard quick-release plate, it can be quickly installed and removed from the adapter base 1. By opening the center switch block 4, the adapter base 1 is equipped with a slider (quick-release plate) that can hold a Nato-standard slider. When a Nato-standard slider is installed on the side of the camera cage, the camera can quickly install the Nato-standard slider into the second slot on the adapter base 1 for portrait shooting.
[0074] In this embodiment, the camera can use the Arca-specification quick release plate under the cage and the Nato-specification slider on the side to quickly switch between horizontal and vertical shooting, greatly improving shooting efficiency and enhancing user experience.
[0075] Example 2
[0076] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the switching block 4 can be flipped 90 degrees, and the adapter base 1 is connected to a limiting member for limiting the folding position and the flipping position of the switching block 4.
[0077] In this embodiment, the outer side of the switching block 4 is provided with a first positioning hole 6 and a second positioning hole 601, which are arranged at 90 degrees to each other; the limiting member includes a mounting tube 8, a limiting bead 801 and a limiting spring 802, and the adapter base 1 is connected to a connecting seat 7 by screws, and the mounting tube 8 is connected to the connecting seat 7. The mounting tube 8 and the connecting seat 7 are integrally formed or connected and fixed by screw connection or adhesive connection. The limiting spring 802 is located in the mounting tube 8, and the two ends of the limiting spring 802 are respectively connected to the mounting tube 8 and the limiting bead 801; as shown in FIG. Figure 7As shown, when the switching block 4 is in the folded position, the limit ball 801 can be snapped into the first positioning hole 6, as Figure 8 shown, when the switching block 4 is in the flipped position, the limit ball 801 can be snapped into the second positioning hole 601.
[0078] In this embodiment, after folding and flipping the switching block 4, the first positioning hole 6 and the second positioning hole 601 can be aligned with the limit ball 801 in sequence, so that the limit ball 801 can be easily snapped into the first positioning hole 6 or the second positioning hole 601. This provides positioning and a clear gear feel during the process of folding and flipping the switching block 4, effectively improving the user experience and the stability of the switching block 4 in the folded position and the flipped position.
[0079] Embodiment 3
[0080] As Figure 1 and Figure 9 shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: an insertion block 2 is connected to the bottom of the adapter base 1. The insertion block 2 is integrally formed with the adapter base 1 or connected into one body by other connection methods. A single-sided groove 201 is formed on one side of the bottom of the insertion block 2 and the adapter base 1. The two ends of the single-sided groove 201 communicate with each other, that is, one side of the adapter base 1 extends downward to form a through groove structure with one side of the insertion block 2.
[0081] In addition, in this embodiment, groove notches 202 are provided on two adjacent sides of the bottom of the insertion block 2. In this embodiment, the insertion block 2 is integrally in a rectangular block structure, and the two groove notches 202 are located on two adjacent right-angled sides of the insertion block 2.
[0082] In this embodiment, when the adapter base 1 is docked with a stabilizer base without a quick-release function, the "anti-disengagement lever" in the stabilizer base (that is, the lever structure at the bottom of the stabilizer for docking with the adapter base) can smoothly slide into any one of these two notches to complete the docking work.
[0083] And the single-sided groove 201 formed between the insertion block 2 and one side of the bottom of the adapter base 1 in this embodiment can be mutually embedded with a stabilizer of a specific specification to meet the docking requirements. The setting of the embedded structure can greatly reduce the height of the adapter base 1, lower the center of gravity of the camera, and maximize the installation space of the stabilizer, which is of great significance for a handheld camera stabilizer.
