[0041] Please refer to 1-7. This article provides a car photography device 100, including a suction cup 20, a shock absorber frame 30, a connecting arm 40 and a buffer structure 10. One end of the connecting arm 40 is connected to the suction cup 20, and the other end is connected to the shock absorber frame 30. The other end of the shock absorber frame 30 is connected to the first seat 1.

[0042] The vehicle photography device 100 in this article can be adsorbed on the vehicle through the suction cup 20, the angle can be adjusted through the connecting arm 40, the pitch can be damped through the shock-absorbing frame 30, and the swing of the photography equipment can be buffered through the buffer structure 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the photography.

[0043] Specifically, the suction cup 20 can be a commercially available electric suction cup 20. The connecting arm 40 includes a plurality of arms 401, which are sequentially connected through a toothed disc. The first and last arms 401 can also be connected and locked to the electric suction cup 20 and the shock absorber frame 30 respectively through the toothed disc.

[0044] See also Figure 1-2The shock absorber frame 30 mainly comprises a four-link assembly and a shock absorber assembly 305, including a first link 301, a second link 302, a third link 303, and a fourth link 304, which are hinged in pairs via pivots. One end of the shock absorber assembly 305 is hinged to the first link 301, and the other end is hinged to the connection between the second link 302 and the third link 303. The shock absorber assembly 305 can be a commercially available damping shock absorber, metal spring shock absorber, air shock absorber, etc.

[0045] See also Figure 3-6 The buffer assembly 3 is connected to the third connecting rod 303. Specifically, the third connecting rod 303 is provided with a clamping groove 3031 and a locking assembly 306. The first base 1 is provided with a quick-release plate 11, which can be slidably disposed in the clamping groove 3031. The locking assembly 306 includes a locking wrench 3061 and a pressing block 3062. The locking wrench 3061 is threadedly connected to the third connecting rod 303. The locking wrench 3061 can rotate relative to the third connecting rod 303 to drive the pressing block 3062 to press the quick-release plate 11, thereby locking the quick-release plate 11 in the clamping groove 3031, thereby connecting the shock absorber frame 30 and the buffer assembly 3. It is worth noting that when the locking wrench is rotated in the opposite direction, the pressing block 3062 and the quick-release plate 11 can be unlocked.

[0046] See also Figure 3-6 The buffer assembly 3 includes a first base 1, a second base 2, and multiple buffer assemblies 3. The first base 1 is used to connect to an external structure; the second base 2 has a mounting position 221 for mounting a camera. The multiple buffer assemblies 3 surround the second base 2, with one end of the multiple buffer assemblies 3 being mounted on the first base 1 and the other end being mounted on the second base 2 to provide cushioning for the camera. It is worth noting that the external structure may be a shock mount 30.

[0047] In this article, it is configured so that during motion shooting, when the shooting equipment has a tendency to swing due to the shooting situation, for example, during a shooting process such as turning or circling, multiple buffer components 3 can absorb the swinging force in the corresponding direction, reduce the swinging of the shooting equipment, and improve the stability of the shooting.

[0048] Specifically, the buffer assembly 3 can be a damper, comprising a damper body 31 and a movable rod 32. One end of the damper body 31 is movably connected to one end of the movable rod 32, and the other ends of the damper body 31 and the movable rod 32 are respectively hinged to one of the first base 1 or the second base 2. During motion photography, depending on the conditions of the filming equipment, the corresponding movable rod 32 can be extended or retracted relative to the corresponding damper body 31 to absorb the swinging force in the corresponding direction. The damper can be a hydraulic damper, which is a hydraulic feed speed control device and is a prior art product. Its principles will not be discussed in detail.

[0049] Further, see Figure 3-5 One end of the movable rod 32 is hinged to the first base 1 via a fisheye bearing 33, and the other end of the damping body 31 is hinged to the second base 2 via a fisheye bearing 33. This arrangement allows the damper to deflect by a certain angle, that is, when the first base 1 and the second base 2 move relative to each other, the damper is allowed to adapt to the corresponding deflection angle.

[0050] Specifically, there are three buffer assemblies 3 , which are symmetrically arranged around the outer circumference of the second base body 2 .

[0051] In some embodiments, the buffer assembly 3 further includes a plurality of elastic shock-absorbing balls 34, one end of each of which is connected to the first base 1, and the other end of each of which is connected to the second base 2. That is, the plurality of elastic shock-absorbing balls 34 are arranged between the first base 1 and the second base 2, and during motion shooting, the movement of the first base 1 and the second base 2 is buffered. It is worth noting that the elastic shock-absorbing balls 34 are made of elastic materials, such as silicone or rubber. On the other hand, the second base 2 has a plurality of mounting arms 24, and the plurality of mounting arms 24 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of elastic shock-absorbing balls 34.

[0052] See also Figure 3-6 The elastic damping ball 34 includes a first limiting portion 341, a damping ball 342, and a second limiting portion 343, which are connected. The first base 1 has a first limiting opening 11, and the second base 2 has a second limiting opening 21. The first limiting portion 341 is larger than the first limiting opening 11 and is engaged with the first limiting opening 11. The second limiting portion 343 is larger than the second limiting opening 21 and is engaged with the second limiting opening 21. During installation, the elastic damping ball 34 is elastic, so the first limiting portion 341 and the second limiting portion 343 can be squeezed into the first limiting opening 11 and the second limiting opening 21, respectively, to complete the installation of the elastic damping ball 34.

[0053] For the installation of the shooting equipment, please refer to Figure 3-6 The second base body 2 includes a mounting platform 22, and a mounting position 221 is set on the mounting platform 22; the shooting device can be installed on the mounting position 221 of the mounting platform 22, which can be suitable for the installation of a shooting device that is a sports camera.

[0054] Or, on the other hand, see Figure 5The second base body 2 includes a mounting groove 23, and a mounting platform 22 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 23. The mounting position 221 is provided on the mounting platform 22. In this manner, the shooting device is accommodated in the mounting groove 23 and installed at the mounting position 221 of the mounting platform 22 at the bottom of the mounting groove 23. The mounting groove 23 can limit the shooting device and can be suitable for the installation of shooting devices such as pocket gimbal cameras or sports cameras connected to a small desktop tripod or selfie stick.

[0055] See also Figure 3-5 Specifically, mounting position 221 is provided with a mounting interface 222 for connecting a camera. Mounting interface 222 includes at least one of a 1 / 4 screw, a 3 / 8 screw, a cold shoe mount, a cold shoe slot, a NATO slider, a NATO slot, a Manfrotto slider, a Manfrotto slot, an Arca slider, and an Arca slot. This allows for compatibility with cameras with different interfaces or with various interfaces on camera accessories to which the camera is mounted.

[0056] In other embodiments, see Figure 4 、 Figure 7The second base body 2 includes a mounting groove 23, and the mounting position 221 is arranged in the mounting groove 23, that is, the mounting position 221 is the mounting groove 23. Among them, the buffer structure 10 also includes a locking component 4, and the locking component 4 is movably arranged on the groove wall of the mounting groove 23, for pressing the shooting device. Such a setting can be suitable for the installation of shooting devices such as pocket gimbal cameras or sports cameras connected to a small desktop tripod or selfie stick. Specifically, the shooting device is inserted into the mounting groove 23 and then locked in the mounting groove 23 by the locking component 4. The locking component 44 includes an operating part 41 and a pressing part 42. The operating part 41 and the pressing part 42 are threadedly connected. When the operating part 41 is rotated, the pressing part 42 can move relative to the operating part 41, so that the pressing part 42 is pressed against the shooting device on the side away from the operating part 41. It is worth noting that a retaining spring 414 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 411, and the retaining spring 414 is arranged between the pressing portion 42 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 23, which is used to prevent the operating portion 41 from axially withdrawing from the mounting groove 23 when locking. Therefore, when the operating portion 41 is rotated, the pressing portion 42 rotates relative to the operating portion 41 and moves axially toward the photographic device to press against the photographic device. The side of the pressing portion 42 facing away from the operating portion 41 has a cushioning layer 421, which is used to protect the photographic device and avoid scratching the photographic device. Specifically, the operating portion 41 includes a connecting shaft 411, a knob 412 and an anti-slip screw 413. A spring is provided between the anti-slip screw 413 and the connecting shaft 411. The knob 412 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 411 and can cooperate with the hexagonal socket of the connecting shaft 411 to drive the connecting shaft 411 to rotate. In some embodiments, the knob 412 can be replaced with a wrench. It is understood that the inner wall of the mounting groove 23 can be provided with a cushioning layer 421 to protect the camera. In some aspects, the quick release plate 11 can also be connected to the first base 1 via a locking assembly 4. The principle of the locking assembly 4 can refer to the above description.
