DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this is a preferred structure of a portable pan-tilt camera bracket of the present invention.

[0032] Implementation example Figures 1 to 5 Specifically, a portable pan-tilt camera stand is shown, the overall structure of which includes a camera mounting plate 10, a first rotation axis 21, a second rotation axis 22, a third rotation axis 23, a base 30, and a tripod component 400. The camera mounting plate 10 is located at the top of the stand and is used to fix the camera 50; at least one rotation axis connects the camera mounting plate 10 and the support structure of the stand to enable the camera mounting plate 10 to rotate; the support structure includes a base 30, the base 30 and a tripod component 400 for supporting the base 30. The base 30 is connected to the camera mounting plate 10 via the rotation axis, allowing the camera to rotate.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the camera mounting plate 10 and the base 30 are connected by a double-axis connector 24, and the two ends of the double-axis connector 24 are respectively connected to the camera mounting plate 10 and the base 30 through a first rotating shaft 21 and a second rotating shaft 22. The double-axis connector 24 is used to adjust the friction coefficient of the first rotating shaft 21 and the second rotating shaft 22.

[0034] Combine Figure 4 In the embodiment of the present application, the dual-rotating-axis connector 24 includes a dual-rotating-axis connector 243 and a first clamping portion 245 and a second clamping portion 247 arranged at both ends of the dual-rotating-axis connector 243, a first through hole 244 between the first clamping portion 245 and the dual-rotating-axis connector 243; the first rotating shaft 21 passes through the first through hole 244, so that the mounting plate 10 is connected to the dual-rotating-axis connector 24; a second through hole 246 is formed between the second clamping portion 247 and the dual-rotating-axis connector 243, so that the second rotating shaft 22 passes through; a through hole is provided on the first clamping portion 245, the second clamping portion 247 and the dual-rotating-axis connector 243, a locking screw 241 and a screw fastener 242 are provided on the through hole, and a screw hole that cooperates with the locking screw 241 is provided on the screw fastener 242.

[0035] The user can adjust the tightness of the locking screw 241 and the screw fastener 242 on the dual-rotating-axis connector 24, thereby squeezing the gap between the first clamping portion 245 and the second clamping portion 247 and the dual-rotating-axis connector 243, thereby adjusting the size of the first through-hole 244 and the second through-hole 246. This adjusts the tightness of the first rotating shaft 21 and the second rotating shaft 22 within the first through-hole 244 and the second through-hole 246, respectively, thereby adjusting the position of the camera mounting plate 10 and the base 30 to meet the user's camera adjustment needs during use. Locking the clamping components on the dual-rotating shafts increases the friction coefficient between the two shafts. This friction relationship may affect the smoothness and accuracy of the rotation of the shafts, as well as the user's operational feel when adjusting the camera angle.

[0036] Implementation example Figure 3 As shown, the base 30 is also provided with a quick-release interface 31 and a base mounting block 32. The quick-release interface 31 is located at the edges of both sides of the front of the base 30 and is used to install a quick-release adapter; the base mounting block 32 is located on the back of the base 30, and the base mounting block 32 is used to quickly install or remove the supporting component. In this embodiment, the base mounting block 32 is provided with a mounting hole, and the supporting component is a camera protective case 51. A protrusion structure is provided on the base mounting block 32, and the camera protective case 51 is sleeved on the protrusion structure to form a limiting relationship. The camera protective case and the base 30 can be fixed by a threaded locking mechanism for quick installation or removal of the camera protective case.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the quick-release interface 31 is used to install a quick-release adapter, which is used by the user to prevent loss or install other expansion parts; the base mounting block 32 is engaged with the camera protective shell 51 through threaded locking, and can serve as the third leg of the bracket to provide a more stable structure. During user experience, the portable camera bracket cooperates with the rotating axis and the connecting parts to allow the user to flexibly adjust the camera angle in different directions to meet various shooting needs.

[0038] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 2 As shown,

[0039] The tripod component 400 includes a first connecting tripod 41 and a second connecting tripod 42 , which are rotatably connected to the tripod mounting component 401 via a connecting shaft. The tripod mounting component 401 is connected to the base 30 via a third rotating shaft 23 .

[0040] The tripod mounting component 401 also includes an anti-slip structure 402 located on both sides of the expansion component mounting threaded hole 403 to enhance stability when connecting the expansion component; the expansion component mounting threaded hole 403 is designed to be compatible with a variety of expansion components to enhance stability when connecting the expansion component.

[0041] Optionally, the expansion component mounting threaded hole 403 is located on the tripod mounting component 401. The user can use the expansion component mounting threaded hole 403 set on the tripod mounting component 401 to conveniently install various additional expansion accessories through the locking mechanism of its own expansion component.

[0042] Optionally, the tripod 41 is connected to the tripod mounting member 401 to form a stable support structure. The two tripod designs allow them to be deployed to a maximum angle of 45 degrees, providing overall support and stability through the reasonable design of the tripod and the rotating component.

[0043] Optionally, a cold shoe mount 411 is provided on the first tripod 41 and the second tripod 42 respectively, and is located on the lower side of the first tripod 41 or the second tripod 42 for mounting additional photographic equipment.

[0044] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 2 As shown, it is used to demonstrate the correct installation and use of the camera and the camera protective case 51 on the bracket, helping users to quickly understand how to use the bracket. The camera protective case 51 is not only used to protect the camera 50, but can also be used as the third leg of the bracket to provide additional stability.

[0045] This embodiment Figure 2 As shown, the correct way to install the camera on the bracket is demonstrated to help users quickly master the usage skills. The user can put the camera into the camera protective case 51 without removing the camera bracket according to their own needs. The two legs can be observed to be close to the side of the camera protective case 51 after folding, which greatly increases the portability of the camera.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
