[0002] Action cameras, as portable and powerful imaging devices, are widely used in various outdoor and water activities, travel, and adventure shooting. Especially when shooting on water, in order to ensure clear shooting results and keep the camera safe, users usually use a buoyancy bar to float the camera on the water. However, users often change their position during the shooting process, which requires holding the buoyancy bar to follow. This not only increases the physical burden but also makes it difficult to swim freely on the water to shoot, which may affect the integrity and quality of the shooting. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] When shooting action cameras on water, users typically use buoyancy bars to keep the camera afloat in order to ensure clear shooting results and maintain its safety. However, users often change their position during shooting, requiring them to hold the buoyancy bar to follow. This not only increases physical burden but also makes it difficult to swim freely on the water, potentially affecting the integrity and quality of the footage.

[0021] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned buoyancy devices during use, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a buoyancy device for an action camera, enabling the camera to follow the user's movement without requiring the user to hold it, achieving the effect of shooting while swimming. The buoyancy device uses a buoyancy plate 1 as its base. The end of the buoyancy plate 1 near the elastic band 3 is designed with a V-shaped tip. The V-shaped tip effectively maintains the orientation of the buoyancy plate 1, reducing swaying and slippage, making water movement smoother. A connecting rope 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the buoyancy plate 1, and an elastic band 3 is attached to the end of the connecting rope 2. The elastic band 3 is tied to the user's body. When swimming, the user can use the connecting rope 2 to propel the buoyancy plate 1. The buoyancy plate 1 is used to hold the action camera, thus enabling the camera to move. The top of the buoyancy plate 1 is fixedly installed with... There is a flat plate 4, and a fixing mechanism 5 is provided on the top of the flat plate 4. The fixing mechanism 5 is used to fix the camera on the flat plate 4 to prevent the camera from falling into the water. The fixing mechanism 5 is set as two upright plates 51 fixedly installed on the top of the flat plate 4. The upright plates 51 are internally threaded with lead screws 52. The ends of the lead screws 52 are rotatably installed with clamping plates 53. The clamping plates 53 are slidably connected to the flat plate 4. When the camera is placed on the flat plate 4, rotating the two lead screws 52 can drive the two clamping plates 53 to slide. The sliding of the clamping plates 53 can clamp the camera and initially fix the camera.

[0022] As the camera moves with the user, the buoyancy plate 1 will sway on the water surface. To prevent the camera from falling, y-axis limiting members 54 are provided at both ends of the clamping plate 53, and z-axis limiting members 55 are provided at the top of the clamping plate 53. The two clamping plates 53 can restrict the camera's left and right movement, the y-axis limiting members 54 can restrict the camera's forward and backward movement, and the z-axis limiting members 55 can restrict the camera's up and down movement, thus achieving all-round fixation of the camera and effectively improving the stability of the connection between the camera and the buoyancy plate 1.

[0023] To achieve the limiting effect of the y-axis limiting component 54 on the camera, a clamping plate 541 is provided, which is slidably installed inside the clamping plate 53. The clamping plate 53 has a groove 542 for the clamping plate 541 to slide back and forth. A connecting spring 543 is installed on the inner wall of the groove 542. The end of the connecting spring 543 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 541. The two clamping plates 541 can be respectively clamped to the front and rear of the camera by the elastic force of the connecting spring 543, thereby limiting the camera.

[0024] As the two clamping plates 53 approach the camera, the clamping plate 541 first contacts the camera, obstructing the clamping of the clamping plate 53. To solve this technical problem, an L-shaped plate 544 is fixedly installed at the end of the clamping plate 541. The L-shaped plate 544 has a through hole 545. A plug ring 546 that matches the through hole 545 is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping plate 53. A pin 547 is inserted into the inside of the plug ring 546. Pulling the L-shaped plate 544 to slide it until the through hole 545 and the plug ring 546 coincide, and inserting the pin 547 into the through hole 545 and the plug ring 546, the clamping plate 541 can be fixed at the end of the clamping plate 53. After the clamping plate 53 clamps the camera on the left and right sides of the camera, the pin 547 is pulled out from the plug ring 546 and the through hole 545. The clamping plate 541 can be locked on the front and rear sides of the camera by the elastic force of the connecting spring 543.

[0025] To achieve the limiting effect of the z-axis limiting component 55 on the camera, a pressure plate 551 is provided and slidably installed inside the clamping plate 53. The clamping plate 53 has a lifting groove 552 for the pressure plate 551 to slide up and down. A threaded rod 553 is rotatably installed inside the lifting groove 552. The end of the pressure plate 551 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 553. After the clamping plate 53 and the clamping plate 541 clamp the camera, rotating the threaded rod 553 causes the pressure plate 551 to slide down until the pressure plate 551 is tightly attached to the top of the camera. This can limit the upward sliding of the camera and achieve all-round fixation of the camera, preventing the camera from falling off during drift.

[0026] To facilitate the binding of the elastic band 3 to the user, a Velcro loop is provided at one end of the elastic band 3, and a Velcro hook is provided at the other end of the elastic band 3. The Velcro is lightweight and will not cause extra burden to the user when the user is moving. It is also easy to install and remove and convenient to use.
