[0002] Currently, existing selfie sticks can support shooting with either the front or back camera of a phone. Back cameras have a flash and high pixels, but they lack real-time control over photo composition. Front cameras generally lack a flash and have lower pixels, but consumers prefer them because they can see the shooting and composition effects on the screen in real time. However, the photos taken with low-pixel cameras do not meet people's photography requirements.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a reflector is provided on the clamping part of the selfie stick. When shooting with the camera on the back of the mobile phone, the reflector acts as a display screen. The field of view displayed by the reflector is the range captured by the rear camera. The setting of the reflector provides a better auxiliary shooting function.

[0004] However, existing reflectors are generally fixed. When a user uses a selfie stick to take a photo of others, he or she generally uses the rear camera of the mobile phone. The reflector will reflect light and affect the person being photographed, making the shooting experience poor. Utility Model Content

[0032] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As an embodiment of the present invention, a shooting bracket is provided, which includes a support arm 1. The support arm 1 is provided with a fixing component, which can fix a mobile terminal on the support arm 1. The support arm 1 or the fixing component is provided with a storage cavity 21. A reflector 3 is provided in the storage cavity 21. One side of the reflector 3 is an illuminating surface 31, and the other side is a shielding surface 32. The reflector 3 is flipped and connected to the storage cavity 21 so that the illuminating surface 31 or the shielding surface 32 is exposed. When the reflector 3 is needed, the reflector 3 is rotated in the storage cavity 21 so that the illuminating surface 31 of the reflector 3 is exposed and the direction of the illuminating surface 31 is the same as the direction of the rear camera of the mobile terminal. At this time, the mobile terminal can be fixed to the fixing component and a selfie can be taken using the rear camera of the mobile terminal. When the reflector 3 is not needed, the reflector 3 is rotated in the storage cavity 21 so that the shielding surface 32 of the reflector 3 is exposed and prevents reflected light.

[0034] Specifically, the mobile terminal is mainly a portable device such as a mobile phone or a tablet, and a magnetic module is provided on the back of the mobile terminal. In this embodiment, the fixing component adopts a magnetic ring 2, the middle part of the magnetic ring 2 is hollowed out and forms a storage cavity 21. The mobile terminal can be magnetically fixed on the magnetic ring 2. When the mobile terminal is placed, it can be placed horizontally or vertically. After placement, the magnetic ring 2 adsorbs and fixes the mobile terminal to prevent it from falling and rotating. The storage cavity 21 is a circular through-hole structure, and the reflector 3 is rotatably connected to the storage cavity 21 through a rotating shaft 34. Among them, the rotating shaft 34 is arranged on the side wall of the reflector 3, and a rotating hole 23 is provided on the side wall of the storage cavity 21. In order to make the reflector 3 rotate smoothly, the rotating shaft 34 is symmetrically provided on the side wall of the reflector 3. A rotating hole 23 is provided at the corresponding position of the storage cavity 21. The magnetic ring 2 comprises a mounting housing and an annular magnet. The mounting housing comprises an annular trough and a cover. The annular magnet is embedded and mounted within the annular trough. After the annular magnet is installed, the cover is adhesively secured to the opening of the annular trough. To facilitate the installation of the rotating shaft 34, the rotating hole 23 is configured as a countersunk hole. Before installing the cover, the rotating shaft 34 on the reflector 3 is first installed into the corresponding rotating hole 23, and then the cover is secured. The use of the magnetic ring 2 as a fixing assembly not only secures the mobile terminal but also makes the overall size of the camera stand compact, making it easy to store and carry.

[0035] The rotating shaft 34 is fixed to the side wall of the reflector 3, and the rotating shaft 34 is inserted into the rotating hole 23 and rotatably connected to the rotating hole 23. In other embodiments, the rotating shaft 34 can also be rotatably connected to the side wall of the reflector 3. In this case, the rotating shaft 34 can also be used to realize the reflector 3 being flipped and connected to the storage cavity 21.

[0036] As a variable embodiment, the magnetic ring 2 can also be directly configured as a cylinder without hollowing out the middle portion. In this case, a receiving cavity 21 can be provided on the support arm 1, and the reflector 3 is rotatably connected to the receiving cavity 21.

[0037] As a variable embodiment, the shaft 34 can also be provided on the side wall of the receiving chamber 21. In this case, a rotation hole 23 is provided on the side wall of the reflector 3. The shaft 34 is inserted into the rotation hole 23, so that the reflector 3 is rotatably connected to the receiving chamber 21.

[0038] As a variant embodiment, the fixing assembly can also be an elastic clip that can clamp and fix the mobile terminal. A storage cavity 21 can be provided on the main body of the elastic clip or on the support arm 1. The elastic clip is similar to the existing mobile phone clamp structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] Furthermore, a positioning piece is provided on the storage cavity 21 and an adapter is provided on the side wall of the reflector 3. The positioning piece can abut against the adapter to fix the reflector 3 and prevent the reflector 3 from rotating randomly under the action of its own weight.

[0040] Specifically, the positioning member is an elastic protrusion 22. A mounting position is provided on the sidewall of the storage chamber 21. The elastic protrusion 22 includes a steel ball and a spring. The mounting position is provided with a through-hole. The spring is positioned within the mounting position and abuts the steel ball, causing a small portion of the steel ball to protrude through the through-hole and form a protrusion. The adapter is a positioning groove 33. When the reflector 3 is turned, the positioning groove 33 docks with the position of the elastic protrusion 22, and the elastic protrusion 22 snaps into the positioning groove 33. The elastic protrusion 22 then secures the reflector 3 in place, preventing it from flipping during use. To rotate the reflector 3 again, simply press the outer edge of the reflector 3 with your finger. Under the action of an external force, the elastic protrusion 22 is removed from the groove, releasing the locking member. The reflector 3 is rotatably connected to the storage chamber 21 via a rotating shaft 34. The extending direction of the positioning member is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 34 of the reflector 3 and passes through the center of the reflector 3. A gap is left between the outer edge of the reflector 3 and the storage cavity 21, allowing for the reflector 3 to flip over and prevent it from getting stuck during the flipping process. The thickness of the magnetic ring 2 is greater than that of the reflector 3, leaving a clearance for the installation of the reflector 3 and preventing it from interfering with the magnetic installation of the mobile terminal.

[0041] As a variant embodiment, the positioning member can also be a positioning groove 33, and the adapter can be an elastic protrusion 22. The elastic protrusion 22 is provided on the side wall of the reflector 3, and the positioning groove 33 is provided on the side of the storage cavity 21. After the reflector 3 is rotated into position, the elastic protrusion 22 can be snapped into the positioning groove 33. In this embodiment, only the positions of the elastic protrusion 22 and the positioning groove 33 are interchanged. The rest of the structure is the same as the above embodiment, so it will not be repeated here.

[0042] As a variable embodiment, the positioning member can also be only an arc-shaped protrusion, and the arc-shaped protrusion is made of elastic rubber. In this case, the adapter can be eliminated, and the arc-shaped protrusion abutting against the side wall of the reflector 3 can also play a role in fixing the reflector 3.

[0043] Furthermore, the magnetic ring 2 includes a mounting shell and an annular magnet. The annular magnet is embedded in the mounting shell. The mounting shell and the support arm 1 are integrally formed.

[0044] Specifically, the annular magnet can be a ring-shaped magnet or a combination of several small block-shaped magnets. It can align with the magnetic module on the mobile terminal and secure the mobile terminal to it by suction. The support arm 1 can be in the shape of a rod, strip, block, or other irregular shape, without specific limitation, as long as it can meet the supporting function. The shooting stand also includes support legs or a support base, to which the end of the support arm 1 remote from the fixing assembly is connected. For example, the shooting stand includes a support base, which can be specifically a shooting handle. The shooting handle has a connection point, and the end of the support arm 1 is rotatably connected to the connection point to facilitate switching between horizontal and vertical shooting positions. For example, the shooting stand includes support legs, and the support legs are tripods. The end of the support arm 1 is fixed to the top of the tripod. In this case, the tripod can be opened for support or folded for handholding. The support legs can also be monopods. The end of the support arm 1 is fixed to the top of the monopod. The monopod can be extended and retracted to facilitate shooting at different heights.

[0045] In other embodiments, the mounting shell may be provided separately from the support arm 1 , and the two may be fixedly connected by welding or bonding.

[0046] Furthermore, the illumination surface 31 is provided with a convex mirror, which can make the displayed field of view wider and facilitate shooting.

[0047] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
