[0009] In one embodiment, the resilient stop includes a spring and a spring pin, the spring pin being mounted on the platform and the spring being connected to the spring pin;

[0010] The spring has a reset state and a compressed state; in the reset state, the spring drives the spring pin to protrude from the mounting platform; in the compressed state, the spring drives the spring pin to move towards the side of the platform opposite to the mounting platform, so that the spring pin no longer protrudes from the mounting platform.

[0011] In one embodiment, the elastic stop further includes a spring-loaded screw, a mounting hole is formed on the platform, the spring-loaded screw is threaded to the wall of the mounting hole and is located in the mounting hole at one end away from the mounting platform; the spring-loaded screw is connected to the end of the spring away from the spring-loaded screw.

[0012] In one embodiment, a limiting ring is formed at one end of the spring pin near the spring pin screw, and a limiting stop ring is protruding on the wall of the mounting hole. The limiting stop ring abuts against the limiting ring to limit the limiting ring within the mounting hole.

[0013] In one embodiment, the clamp is movably connected to the platform to move closer to or further away from the clamping part.

[0014] In one embodiment, the direction of movement of the clamp toward or away from the clamping part is defined as a first direction, and the anti-fall component includes at least two of the elastic stops;

[0015] The elastic stop members are divided into two groups. One group of elastic stop members is distributed on one side of the mounting platform, and the other group is distributed on the other side of the mounting platform to prevent the quick-release plate from moving along the second direction; wherein the second direction intersects with the first direction.

[0037] This utility model proposes a gimbal 1000.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the gimbal 1000 includes a platform 1 and a drop protection component. The platform 1 has an installation platform 1a for installing a quick-release plate a, and the platform 1 also has a protruding clamping part 11. The drop protection component includes a clamping seat 21 and at least one elastic stop member 22. The clamping seat 21 is connected to the platform 1 and is located on opposite sides of the installation platform 1a, respectively, with the clamping part 11. The elastic stop member 22 is provided on the platform 1 and is used to stop the quick-release plate a.

[0039] In the technical solution of this utility model, when installing the quick-release plate a, each elastic stop 22 is pressed down, thereby enabling the quick-release plate a to be installed on the mounting platform 1a; the quick-release plate a can be limited on the mounting platform 1a by the cooperation of the clamp 21, the clamping part 11 and each elastic stop 22, preventing slippage; when installing the long quick-release plate, the elastic stop 22 is pressed down with the surface of the long quick-release plate and then the long quick-release plate is installed on the quick-release plate a; when disassembling, the long quick-release plate is first removed from the quick-release plate a, and then the elastic stop 22 is pressed down to remove the quick-release plate a; the efficiency of disassembling and installing the camera quick-release plate a is high and it is convenient for users.

[0040] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic stop 22 includes a spring 222 and a spring pin 223. The spring pin 223 is installed on the platform 1, and the spring 222 is connected to the spring pin 223. The spring 222 has a reset state and a compressed state. In the reset state, the spring 222 drives the spring pin 223 to protrude from the mounting platform 1a. In the compressed state, the spring 222 drives the spring pin 223 to move to the side of the platform 1 away from the mounting platform 1a, so that the spring pin 223 no longer protrudes from the mounting platform 1a. Using the spring 222 to connect the spring pin 223 can ensure that the spring pin 223 automatically resets. When the user installs or removes the quick-release plate a, he / she only needs to press the spring pin 223 to overcome the resistance of the spring 222, so that the quick-release plate a can be installed or removed smoothly, which is convenient for the user.

[0041] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic stop 22 further includes a spring-loaded screw 221, and a mounting hole 1b is formed on the platform 1; the spring-loaded screw 221 is threadedly connected to the wall of the mounting hole 1b and is located at one end of the mounting hole 1b away from the mounting platform 1a; the spring-loaded pin 223 is connected to the spring-loaded screw 221 by a spring 222. The threaded connection between the spring-loaded screw 221 and the mounting hole 1b provides a secure fixing method, while the wall of the mounting hole 1b can limit the movement of the spring-loaded pin 223 to ensure that the spring-loaded pin 223 moves along a set path; thereby preventing the spring 222 from deflecting during the installation or removal of the quick-release plate a, thus ensuring that the spring 222 is properly compressed or reset, and the spring-loaded pin 223 can normally protrude from the mounting platform 1a or retract into the mounting hole 1b, improving the efficiency of removing and installing the camera quick-release plate a.

[0042] Please see Figure 5In one embodiment of this utility model, a limiting ring 2231 is formed at one end of the spring pin 223 near the spring pin screw 221, and a limiting stop ring 12 is protruding on the wall of the mounting hole 1b. The limiting stop ring 12 abuts against the limiting ring 2231 to limit the limiting ring 2231 within the mounting hole 1b. The cooperation between the limiting ring 2231 and the limiting stop ring 12 prevents the spring pin 223 from accidentally falling off during use, thereby enhancing the stability of the elastic stop member 22 during use.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the clamp 21 is movably connected to the platform 1 to move closer to or further away from the clamping part 11. The user can adjust the distance between the clamp 21 and the clamping part 11 to accommodate quick-release plates of different sizes, thereby enhancing the versatility of the gimbal 1000; by adjusting the position of the clamp 21, both ends of the quick-release plate can fit against the clamp 21 and the clamping part 11, thus ensuring that the quick-release plate a is securely clamped on the mounting platform 1a.

[0044] The direction in which the clamp 21 moves toward or away from the clamping part 11 is defined as the first direction, and the front-back direction on the mounting platform 1a from one side of the first direction toward the other side of the first direction is defined as the second direction.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, the anti-fall component includes at least two elastic stoppers 22. The elastic stoppers 22 are divided into two groups, one group of elastic stoppers 22 is distributed on one side of the mounting platform 1a, and the other group is distributed on the other side of the mounting platform 1a, to prevent the quick-release plate a from moving along the second direction; wherein, the second direction intersects with the first direction. This arrangement ensures that there are components in four different directions (front, back, left, and right) on the mounting platform 1a to stop the quick-release plate a, ensuring the effective distribution of the elastic stoppers 22, reducing the probability of the quick-release plate a slipping off the mounting platform 1a, and enhancing the overall stability of the gimbal 1000 structure.

[0046] The clamp 21 can be moved by either having a drive unit mounted on the platform 1 and the clamp 21 positioned at the output end of the drive unit, or by connecting the clamp 21 and the platform 1 via a telescopic rod 23. (See also...) Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment of this utility model, the anti-fall component further includes a telescopic rod 23 and a knob 24. The clamp 21 has a through hole 21a, the telescopic rod 23 passes through the through hole 21a and is threadedly connected to the platform 1; a limiting part 231 is formed at the end of the telescopic rod 23 away from the platform 1, and the limiting part 231 is disposed in the knob 24. The user can move the telescopic rod 23 by rotating the knob 24, which simplifies the movement process of the clamp 21; at the same time, the design of the telescopic rod 23 optimizes the spatial layout of the gimbal 1000, making the gimbal 1000 compact in structure, occupying less space, and convenient for users to carry.

[0047] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the anti-fall component further includes a connecting rod 25. The platform 1 has a groove 1c, and the connecting rod 25 is disposed on the clamp 21. One end of the connecting rod 25, away from the clamp 21, is inserted into the groove 1c. The anti-fall component also includes a return spring 26, which is sleeved on the connecting rod 25. Both ends of the return spring 26 abut against the bottom walls of the clamp 21 and the groove 1c, respectively. When the user rotates the knob 24 to move the clamp 21 closer to the platform 1, the return spring 26 is compressed. Then, when the user rotates the knob 24 in the opposite direction, the elastic force of the return spring 26 causes the clamp 21 to move away from the platform 1, thus achieving the automatic reset function of the clamp 21 for user convenience.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the platform 1 is further provided with mounting studs 13 for connecting the long quick-release plate. Directly fixing the long quick-release plate with the mounting studs 13 provides a more stable connection, reduces the shaking of the quick-release plate a during use, and improves the stability of shooting.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, a clamping space 11a is formed between the clamping base 21 and the clamping part 11, and the clamping space 11a gradually narrows from one end near the platform 1 to the end away from the platform 1. This confines the quick-release plate a within the clamping space 11a, and the gradually narrowing clamping space 11a reduces the risk that the quick-release plate a cannot fall off from above the mounting platform 1a.

[0050] This utility model also proposes a tripod 2000, which includes a mounting base 3, three legs 4, and a gimbal 1000. The specific structure of the gimbal 1000 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this tripod 2000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. The three legs 4 are all mounted on the mounting base 3, and the platform 1 is located on the side of the mounting base 3 away from each leg 4.

[0051] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
