[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the interior of the lower cover adopts a hollow structure, the cameras are vertically inserted into the interior of the lower cover, and there is a movable connection between them.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a handheld pan-tilt camera with a protective shell, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The handheld gimbal camera with a protective case is provided with a snap-on position, an upper cover, a stationary replacement cover, and a card slot. When the device is used with a camera gimbal, the operator can adjust the device's usage mode according to different usage scenarios. When the camera needs to cooperate with the gimbal for multi-angle rotation shooting, the operator keeps the upper cover installed, and the camera uses the hollow structure at the front and rear ends of the upper cover to perform multi-angle shooting. At this time, the upper cover protects the top of the camera. When the camera needs to be in a stationary position for shooting, the operator can separate the snap-on position from the upper cover, and then install the stationary replacement cover on the top of the lower cover, so that the snap-on position and the card slot are aligned to establish a movable connection. At this time, the camera is completely covered, and only shooting windows are reserved on both sides of the stationary replacement cover.

[0015] Through the above process, the device can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The flexible connection between the snap-in position and the card slot allows the upper cover and the stationary replacement cover to be disassembled and replaced at will. By setting upper covers and stationary replacement covers with different structures, the device can be freely switched between fixed-angle shooting and multi-angle conversion shooting of the camera, so that the camera inside the device has a stable external protection structure regardless of the shooting mode, preventing the fragile camera lens and gimbal structure from being subjected to external collisions during the shooting process.
