Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of camera technology, and specifically relates to a carrying component and a shooting system of a shooting device. Background Art

[0002] With the diversification of lifestyles, users are pursuing an increasingly sophisticated photography experience, and at the same time, their functional requirements for camera devices are also increasing. When using a camera, users often need to connect it to a supporting structure such as a selfie stick or tripod to accommodate the different shooting needs in various application scenarios. Furthermore, to meet the shooting angles in different application scenarios, it is often necessary to adjust the relative angle between the camera and the supporting structure to adjust the shooting posture of the camera.

[0003] In related technologies, the relative angle between the supporting structure and the camera body is usually adjusted and locked by cooperating with a ball head assembly and a locking part. Under this structure, it is difficult for the user to accurately adjust the relative angle between the supporting structure and the camera body to the position required by the user, and the user is often required to make repeated adjustments. It is difficult for the camera to quickly switch between various shooting postures, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] This application discloses a supporting assembly for a camera device. The supporting assembly can be used to connect a camera device, which may include, but is not limited to, any of a panoramic camera, a sports camera, an electronic terminal device, a video camera, and a light. The supporting assembly can be used to mount and support the camera device and control its rotation to enable rapid switching between preset shooting positions, thereby enhancing the shooting experience. This application only uses a panoramic camera as an example; other types of cameras can be implemented similarly.

[0047] The load-bearing assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 , showing a cross-sectional view of a bearing assembly in an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 2 , showing Figure 1 Exploded view of the load-bearing assembly shown in .

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the supporting assembly 100 disclosed in the present application may specifically include: a support member 10; a mounting member 20, rotatably connected to the support member 10, for mechanically coupling with the shooting device 200; a positioning mechanism 30, arranged on the support member 10, and / or the mounting member 20, for positioning the mounting member 20 at a preset angle position relative to the support member 10.

[0050] Among them, when the mounting member 20 rotates to a preset angle position relative to the support member 10, the positioning mechanism 30 automatically locks the relative angle position of the mounting member 20 and the support member 10, so that the mounting member 20 can be stably maintained at the preset angle position; when the mounting member 20 is at the preset angle position, the shooting device 200 can be in a preset shooting posture, and the preset shooting posture is related to the rotation angle position of the mounting member 20 relative to the support member 10.

[0051] The carrier assembly 100 in the embodiment of the present application can adjust the angle between the camera device 200 and the support member 10 through the rotational connection between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10. The positioning mechanism 30 can position the mounting member 20 at a preset angle, thereby indirectly positioning the camera device 200 at a preset angle relative to the support member 10. The positioning mechanism 30 can also automatically lock the relative angle between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10, allowing the mounting member 20 to stably maintain the preset angle. Furthermore, when the mounting member 20 is at the preset angle, the camera device 200 can be in a preset shooting posture. With the carrier assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the mounting member 20 is connected to the camera device 200, the preset angle between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 can be changed, and the positioning mechanism 30 can automatically lock the preset angle between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10. Since the preset shooting posture is related to the rotation angle position of the mounting member 20 relative to the support member 10, when the relative angle position of the mounting member 20 relative to the support member 10 changes, the shooting device 200 can be quickly and accurately switched to the preset shooting posture without the user having to repeatedly adjust the angle. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0052] In some embodiments, there may be multiple preset angular positions and multiple preset shooting postures, wherein a preset correspondence exists between the multiple preset angular positions and the multiple preset shooting postures. For example, each preset angular position corresponds to one or more preset shooting postures, or each preset shooting posture corresponds to one or more preset angular positions.

[0053] Specifically, the support member 10 can serve as a base for the mounting member 20 and the camera device 200. It can also be designed to mechanically couple with structures such as extension poles and selfie sticks to enrich the application scenarios of the camera device 200. The support assembly 100 is provided with a rotating shaft 70. The mounting member 20 and the support member 10 are provided with mounting holes. The rotating shaft 70 passes through the mounting holes of the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 to connect the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 as a whole. Fasteners such as nuts can be provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 70 to limit the axial displacement of the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 in the rotating shaft 70, ensuring the stability of the structure when the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 rotate relative to each other.

[0054] It should be noted that in the carrier assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the mounting member 20 may have multiple preset angular positions. Accordingly, the camera device 200 may also have multiple preset shooting postures, and a preset correspondence exists between the multiple preset angular positions and the multiple preset shooting postures. Each preset angular position corresponds to one or more preset shooting postures, or each preset shooting posture corresponds to one or more preset angular positions.

[0055] In some embodiments, the camera device 200 may be a panoramic camera. This description will be made using the camera device 200 as an example. A typical panoramic camera has two visual sensors 201 with a field of view (FOV) greater than 180°, with the two visual sensors 201 positioned on opposite sides of the camera body. A panoramic camera can stitch the images captured by the two visual sensors 201 together to create a spherical panoramic image. Alternatively, one of the visual sensors 201 can be used to capture images, allowing it to function as a sports camera for selfies, thus realizing the shooting capabilities of a sports camera.

[0056] It should be understood that the panoramic camera can eliminate the supporting components of the panoramic camera, such as the selfie stick, by image processing, so as to make the subject in the imaging picture more prominent and improve the filming effect. In this case, the selfie stick needs to be located within the FOV of the two visual sensors 201 at the same time to achieve a better elimination effect. In some embodiments, the preset shooting posture can be the posture of the supporting component 100 being located within the overlapping FOV of the two visual sensors 201 of the panoramic camera. For example, Figure 7 As shown, the preset shooting posture can be a posture in which the extension direction of the camera device 200 is substantially parallel to the extension direction of the supporting assembly 100. In this way, since users often shoot in this shooting posture, the embodiment of the present application can achieve positioning through the positioning mechanism 30, so that the camera device 200 can quickly and accurately switch to the preset shooting posture in which the supporting assembly 100 is removed, which can effectively improve the user experience.

[0057] Optionally, the shooting device 200 includes at least two visual sensors 201, and the preset shooting postures include at least one of the following: the carrying component 100 is located within the overlapping range of the shooting field of view of at least two visual sensors 201 of the shooting device 200, and the shooting device 200 is in a first shooting posture; the carrying component 100 is located outside the range of the shooting field of view of at least one visual sensor 201 of the shooting device 200, and the shooting device 200 is in a second shooting posture.

[0058] A panoramic camera can capture panoramic images by activating two back-to-back vision sensors simultaneously. In some scenarios, a panoramic camera can capture images from a single perspective, such as a selfie or a photo taken by someone else, by activating only a single vision sensor. This enriches the camera's usage scenarios.

[0059] Among them, when the panoramic camera is in the first shooting posture, the supporting component 100 is located within the overlapping range of the shooting fields of view of the two visual sensors 201. In the picture taken by the panoramic camera in the first shooting posture, the supporting component 100 can be better eliminated through image processing, thereby improving the picture effect.

[0060] When the camera 200 is in the second shooting posture, the supporting assembly 100 is outside the field of view of one of the visual sensors 201 of the panoramic camera. Furthermore, the supporting assembly 100 can be within the field of view of another visual sensor 201. This allows the panoramic camera to achieve better selfie or photo-taking effects by activating only the visual sensors that are not in the camera's view of the supporting assembly 101.

[0061] Optionally, the angle of the mounting member 20 relative to the support member 10 when the shooting device 200 is in the first shooting posture is greater than the angle of the mounting member 20 relative to the support member 10 when the shooting device 200 is in the second shooting posture, so that the shooting device 200 can achieve a wider shooting field of view and a wider scene coverage when it is in the first shooting posture.

[0062] For example, a bearing assembly 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the shooting device 200 is in the first shooting posture, and the angle between the mounting member 20 and the supporting member 10 is 180°. Figure 6 As shown, the shooting device 200 is in the second shooting posture, and the angle between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 is 112°, that is, when the shooting device 200 switches from the first shooting posture to the second shooting posture, the mounting member 20 rotates 68° relative to the support member 10.

[0063] It should be noted that the present application does not impose any specific restrictions on the specific angle. In actual applications, technicians can choose and design it according to the application scenario and user needs. The angle between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 is the angle formed by the center of rotation of the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 as the vertex and the geometric center line of the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 as the edge.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present application, when the camera 200 is in a first shooting posture, the supporting assembly 100 is located within the overlapping range of the shooting fields of view of the two back-to-back visual sensors 201 of the camera 200. That is, the picture taken when the camera 200 is in the first shooting posture can hide the supporting assembly 100 to improve the effect of the shooting picture. For example, the angle between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 can be 180°. At this time, the geometric center lines of the camera 200, the mounting member 20, and the support member 10 remain on a straight line, which is conducive to ensuring that the supporting assembly 100 is located within the overlapping range of the shooting fields of view of at least two visual sensors 201 of the camera 200.

[0065] And / or, when the camera 200 is in the second shooting posture, the supporting assembly 100 is located outside the shooting field of view of one of the two vision sensors 201 disposed opposite to each other in the camera 200. In other words, the supporting assembly 100 appears in the shooting image of the other vision sensor 201. In this case, the panoramic camera can be used to realize the shooting function of a sports camera.

[0066] It should be understood that the two back-to-back visual sensors 201 can be Figure 7 As shown, the optical axes of the two back-to-back vision sensors 201 are substantially aligned. In other optional embodiments, the optical axes of the two back-to-back vision sensors 201 may not be aligned. For example, the optical axes of the two back-to-back vision sensors 201 may be parallel or at an angle to each other, which is not limited here.

[0067] Furthermore, the preset shooting posture also includes a third shooting posture. When the camera device 200 is in the third shooting posture, the angle of the mounting member 20 relative to the support member 10 is greater than the angle relative to the support member 10 when the camera device 200 is in the first shooting posture, and less than the angle relative to the support member 10 when the camera device 200 is in the second shooting posture. It can be understood that by introducing the third shooting posture, while maintaining the simplicity and stability of the original structure, the camera device 200 is further adapted to a wider range of scenes, providing a richer range of angle adjustment options for shooting, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of shooting. In addition, technicians can also add preset shooting postures according to actual needs to further enrich the shooting angles.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second shooting posture may be a posture suitable for the user to take a "photo of others", and the third shooting posture may be a posture suitable for the user to take a "self-photograph". Figure 8 In the posture shown, the angle between the imaging axis of the camera 200 and the support 10 can be greater than the angle between the imaging axis of the camera 200 and the support 10 in the third shooting posture. In this way, the user can be adapted to shooting from a self-portrait perspective and a perspective of shooting from another person's perspective.

[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the positioning mechanism 30 includes a positioning member 31 and a matching member 32. When the mounting member 20 rotates to a preset angle relative to the support member 10, the positioning member 31 couples with the matching member 32 to generate a force on the mounting member 20 and the support member 10, stably maintaining the mounting member 20 at the preset angle. When the mounting member 20 enters the preset angle, the positioning member 31 automatically couples with the matching member 32. In this way, the user only needs to perform the rotation operation between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10. When the mounting member 20 rotates to a preset angle relative to the support member 10, the positioning member 31 automatically couples with the matching member 32, and the mounting member 20 locks the relative angle position with the support member 10, thereby simplifying the operation process of switching between shooting postures, improving the efficiency and flexibility of shooting work, and enhancing the practicality and convenience of the carrier assembly 100. It can also be applied to scenes that require frequent adjustment of shooting angles.

[0070] In a specific application, one positioning member 31 can cooperate with multiple matching members 32, or one matching member 32 can cooperate with multiple positioning members 31, or the number of positioning members 31 and matching members 32 can be set to multiple to enrich the implementation method of the carrier assembly 100. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this. The number of positioning members 31 and matching members 32 set can be related to the number of preset shooting postures. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, a positioning member 31 is set in the mounting member 20, and two matching members 32 are set in the support member 10. When the positioning member 31 is coupled with the two matching members 32 respectively, at least two preset shooting postures of the shooting device 200 can be achieved.

[0071] Optionally, the positioning mechanism 30 also includes an elastic member 33, which provides an elastic restoring force to the positioning member 31, so that the positioning member 31 is automatically coupled with the matching member 32 under the action of the elastic restoring force. Due to the introduction of the elastic member 33, the user does not need to apply additional force to cause the positioning member 31 to couple with the matching member 32. It is only necessary to rotate the mounting member 20 to a roughly preset angle position, and the elastic restoring force will automatically drive the positioning member 31 to complete the coupling process. This "trigger-ready" automatic locking mechanism greatly simplifies the operating process and improves the user experience. In addition, the elastic restoring force provided by the elastic member 33 can tolerate slight manufacturing errors or installation deviations between the mounting member 20 and the support member 10 to a certain extent, so that the positioning mechanism 30 can adapt to a wider range of installation conditions and usage scenarios, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the product.

[0072] Specifically, the elastic member 33 can be a spring disposed within the support member 10 or the mounting member 20 and abutting against the positioning member 31. When the mounting member 20 rotates relative to the support member 10, the spring remains compressed to store energy. When the mounting member 20 rotates to a substantially predetermined angle, the elastic restoring force automatically drives the positioning member 31 to complete the coupling process. A guide shaft may also be provided for housing the spring to guide the spring and ensure that the elastic restoring force of the spring is accurately applied to the positioning member 31.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positioning member 31 includes a protrusion 311, and the matching member 32 includes a recessed portion 321 that matches the protrusion 311. The protrusion 311 has a guide surface 3111, and the guide surface 3111 matches the opening of the recessed portion 321, so that the protrusion 311 can automatically slide into the recessed portion 321 under the action of the elastic restoring force. Among them, the design of the guide surface 3111 ensures that the protrusion 311 can be accurately aligned and slide into the recessed portion 321, avoiding coupling failure or instability caused by position deviation. After the protrusion 311 slides into the recessed portion 321, the guide surface 3111 of the protrusion 311 and the inner wall clearance of the recessed portion 321 are matched, so that the coupling between the positioning member 31 and the matching member 32 will be more secure, thereby enhancing the stability of the mounting member 20 at the preset angular position.

[0074] Optionally, one of the positioning member 31 and the matching member 32 includes a first magnetic component, and the other one of the positioning member 31 and the matching member 32 includes a second magnetic component that can be attracted to the first magnetic component, and the positioning member 31 automatically couples with the matching member 32 under the magnetic force.

[0075] It is understood that by introducing the first and second magnetic components, the coupling between the positioning member 31 and the mating member 32 is magnetic. This instantly responsive magnetic coupling mechanism significantly improves the positioning accuracy and locking speed of the mounting member 20 at the preset angle, thereby accelerating the switching process of the shooting posture. In actual applications, technicians can also adjust the magnetic force of the first and second magnetic components based on factors such as the weight, size, and type of the shooting device 200 to improve the adaptability and application prospects of the positioning member 31 and the mating member 32.

[0076] In a specific application, the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can be magnetic patches, and can be attached to the relative surfaces of the positioning member 31 and the matching member 32, or magnetic materials can be added to the relative ends of the positioning member 31 and the matching member 32 to achieve magnetic adsorption between the two. This application does not specifically limit the magnetic attraction method.

[0077] Optionally, the carrier assembly 100 further includes an unlocking mechanism 40. When the mounting member 20 exits the preset angular position, the unlocking mechanism 40 is operated to release the coupling between the positioning member 31 and the mating member 32, making the entire adjustment process smoother and more efficient, thereby enhancing the user's operational experience. Furthermore, the provision of the unlocking mechanism 40 allows the user to release the coupling between the positioning member 31 and the mating member 32 by operating the unlocking mechanism 40 when the user needs to change the preset shooting posture of the camera device 200, thereby avoiding damage to components caused by forced rotation of the mounting member 20.

[0078] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the unlocking mechanism 40 includes an operating member 41 and a transmission member 42. The operating member 41 drives the positioning member 31 to move through the transmission member 42 to achieve decoupling of the positioning member 31 and the mating member 32; or the unlocking mechanism 40 includes a first driving member, which directly drives the positioning member 31 to move to achieve decoupling of the positioning member 31 and the mating member 32.

[0079] Two unlocking methods of the unlocking mechanism 40 are provided above. Under these two unlocking mechanisms 40, precise control of the unlocking process is achieved. The user only needs to perform simple operations to release the coupling between the positioning member 31 and the matching member 32, thereby quickly adjusting the mounting member 20 of the shooting device 200 to a new angle position, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of switching shooting postures. Among them, through the simple mechanical transmission coordination between the operating member 41 and the transmission member 42, the reliability is higher, and it can be used without power, and has a wide range of applications; and by setting a first drive member, the coupling between the positioning member 31 and the matching member 32 can be quickly released, and the operation is simpler. The above two unlocking mechanism 40 designs provide a variety of options, and in actual applications, they can be flexibly configured according to actual application scenarios and needs. The first drive member may include but is not limited to at least one of the drive members such as motors, electric motors, and motors, and this application does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, when the operating member 41 moves along the first direction, the transmission member 42 drives the positioning member 31 to move along the second direction through the inclined guide structure 421 , and the first direction and the second direction are not parallel.

[0081] Specifically, the operating member 41 has a driving inclined surface 411, and the inclined guide structure 421 of the transmission member 42 is opposite to the driving inclined surface 411 of the operating member 41. When the operating member 41 moves in a first direction, the transmission member 42 moves in a second direction due to the relative sliding of the two inclined surfaces, so that the positioning member 31 and the mating member 32 move away from each other and decouple. In the embodiment of the present application, the operating member 41 is disposed on the mounting member 20 and partially protrudes from the mounting member 20 for user operation. The first direction is the direction in which the operating member 41 approaches the transmission member 42, that is, the direction of movement from the outside of the mounting member 20 to the inside of the mounting member 20. The second direction is the direction of relative movement between the raised portion 311 of the positioning member 31 and the recessed portion 321 of the mating member 32.

[0082] Optionally, the bearing assembly 100 further includes a second driving member and a first controller, and the first controller is used to respond to the mode switching signal and control the second driving member to drive the mounting member 20 to rotate to a preset angle position relative to the support member 10.

[0083] In this embodiment, the second driver and first controller enable the carrier assembly 100 to automatically respond to mode switching signals, significantly simplifying the process of adjusting the shooting posture. Compared to manual adjustment or simple mechanical devices, the second driver also offers higher control accuracy and power output stability, enabling precise control of the rotation of the mounting member 20 relative to the support member 10 to a predetermined angular position.

[0084] Among them, the second driving component may include but is not limited to at least one of the driving components such as an electric motor, an electric motor, and a motor, and this application does not make any specific restrictions on this.

[0085] Optionally, the carrier assembly 100 further includes a trigger member operable by a user to generate a mode switching signal. Furthermore, under the rapid response of the first controller, the second drive member can be immediately activated and drive the mounting member 20 to rotate to a preset angle position, thereby achieving rapid adjustment of the shooting posture.

[0086] In practical applications, the trigger can be a push button, a toggle, or other mechanism. Its location can also be flexibly configured. For example, in situations where frequent changes in shooting posture are required, the trigger can be placed in an easily accessible location. In situations where a stable shooting posture is required, the trigger can be relatively concealed or equipped with a protective device. This flexibility makes the system more adaptable to diverse application scenarios.

[0087] Further, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the supporting assembly 100 further includes a telescopic rod mechanism 50 and a grip 60. The support member 10 is mechanically coupled to one end of the telescopic rod mechanism 50, and the grip 60 is provided at the other end of the telescopic rod mechanism 50. The trigger is positioned adjacent to the grip 60. The telescopic rod mechanism 50 is adjustable in length, allowing the camera 200 to adapt to different shooting scenarios and height requirements. The grip 60 provides a gripping point for the user. Because the trigger is positioned adjacent to the grip 60, the user can easily access and operate the trigger when opening the telescopic rod mechanism 50 for shooting.

[0088] Specifically, the support member 10 is detachably connected to the telescopic rod mechanism 50. In the embodiment of the present application, the support member 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11 at a section away from the mounting member 20. The mounting groove 11 is used to accommodate the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod can be threadedly connected in the mounting groove 11, or interference fit with the mounting groove 11 to achieve a stable connection between the support members 10.

[0089] Optionally, the carrier assembly 100 further includes a second controller and a sensor. In the embodiment of the present application, the sensor is used to detect information related to whether the mounting member 20 has been rotated to a preset angle position. When the second controller determines that the mounting member 20 has been rotated to the preset angle position based on the relevant information detected by the sensor, it issues a control signal for triggering the camera 200 to automatically enter an operating mode corresponding to the preset shooting posture; wherein the operating mode is at least associated with the turning on and / or off of multiple visual sensors 201 of the camera 200. For example, the operating mode may include a first operating mode and a second operating mode, in which all visual sensors are turned on in the first operating mode, and a second operating mode (internal shooting mode or selfie mode) in which only some visual sensors are selectively turned on. For example, the first operating mode may be a panoramic shooting mode of a panoramic camera, in which both visual sensors of the panoramic camera are turned on; the second operating mode may be an external shooting mode or a selfie mode of the panoramic camera, in which only one of the two visual sensors of the panoramic camera is turned on.

[0090] The combination of the second controller and the sensor simplifies the operation process through automated control and improves the intelligence level of the carrier assembly 100 of the camera 200. At the same time, by programming the second controller and selecting the sensor, it can be easily adapted to different brands and models of camera 200, thus improving application scenarios.

[0091] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown in FIG, it is a schematic diagram of the mounting member 20 in the bearing assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application rotating relative to the supporting member 10, switching between two preset positions and automatically locking. Figure 3 As shown, the shooting assembly is in the initial state, and the protrusion 311 of the positioning member 31 is locked in the recess 321 of the matching member 32; Figure 4 As shown, when the user needs to adjust the shooting posture of the shooting device 200, the user presses the operating member 41 so that the inclined surface of the operating member 41 and the inclined surface guide structure 421 of the transmission member 42 maintain a sliding contact state until the positioning member 31 moves along the second direction to completely disengage from the matching member 32; Figure 5 As shown, the user manually rotates the mounting member 20 so that the mounting member 20 rotates to a preset angle position; Figure 6 As shown, under the elastic restoring force of the spring, the protrusion 311 of the positioning member 31 is automatically coupled to the recessed portion 321 of the matching member 32, thereby automatically locking the relative angular position of the mounting member 20 and the support member 10. It should be noted that technicians can design the structure of the bearing assembly 100 according to any of the above embodiments, and are not limited to the embodiments of this application.

After the camera device is connected to the mounting member, the angle between the camera device and the support member can be adjusted due to the rotational connection between the support member and the mounting member. The supporting assembly also includes a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism can position the mounting member at a preset angle position, thereby indirectly positioning the camera device at a preset angle position relative to the support member. The positioning mechanism can also automatically lock the relative angle between the mounting member and the support member, so that the mounting member can be stably maintained at the preset angle position. Furthermore, when the mounting member is at the preset angle position, the camera device can be in a preset shooting posture. Using the supporting assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the mounting member is connected to the camera device, the preset angle between the mounting member and the support member can be changed, and the positioning mechanism can automatically lock the preset angle position between the mounting member and the support member, thereby realizing rapid switching of the preset shooting posture of the camera device. The structure is simple and easy to use.
