[0034] This invention provides a photographic vibration damping arm, including a horizontal damping component 1, a vertical damping component 2, a camera connector 3, and an accessory connector 4. The camera connector 3 is connected to the horizontal damping component 1. One end of the vertical damping component 2 is rotatably connected to the side end of the horizontal damping component 1, and the vertical damping component 2 can swing relative to the horizontal damping component 1. The other end of the vertical damping component 2 is connected to the accessory connector 4. This invention provides a photographic vibration damping arm where the camera connector 3 connects to a camera or camcorder. The camera is positioned above the horizontal damping component 1. One end of the vertical damping component 2 is rotatably connected to the side end of the horizontal damping component 1, and the vertical damping component 2 can swing relative to the horizontal damping component 1. The horizontal damping component 1 can mitigate horizontal forces, while the vertical damping component 2 uses the connection end of the horizontal damping component 1 as its rotation center, thus swinging up and down to mitigate vertical forces. This solves the technical problem in the prior art where stabilizers can only mitigate horizontal forces and not vertical forces.

[0035] As an optional implementation, the horizontal damping component 1 includes an upper support plate 11, a lower support plate 12, an airbag structure 13, and an adjustment structure 14. The upper support plate 11 and the lower support plate 12 can be U-shaped structures. The upper support plate 11 and the lower support plate 12 are connected by the airbag structure 13. There can be multiple airbag structures 13, preferably four. The four airbag structures 13 are located at both ends of the upper support plate 11. The camera connector 3 is connected to the upper support plate 11 and is located on the outer side of the middle of the upper support plate 11. The bottom end of the adjustment structure 14 is connected to the lower support plate 12 and is located on the inner side of the middle of the lower support plate 12. The adjustment structure 14 is rotatably connected to the vertical damping component 2.

[0036] As an optional implementation, the airbag structure 13 includes an airbag 131, an upper sealing cap 132, a lower sealing cap 133, and a deflation section 134. The airbag 131 is made of an elastic material. The upper bent section of the airbag 131 passes through the upper support plate 11, and the upper sealing cap 132, the upper bent section, and the upper support plate 11 are connected by bolts. The upper sealing cap 132 blocks the upper opening of the airbag 131, and the lower bent section of the airbag 131 passes through the lower... The support plate 12, the lower sealing cover 133, the lower bending section and the lower support plate 12 are connected by bolts. The lower sealing cover 133 will block the lower opening of the airbag 131.

The slider 143 is threadedly connected to the screw 142. By manually rotating the knob 144, the screw 142 is rotated, which in turn causes the slider 143 to move along the length of the screw 142. This changes the pivot point of the coilover damper 21 on the adjustment structure 14, and consequently changes the load-bearing capacity of the vertical damping component 2.

[0038] As an optional implementation, the vertical damping assembly 2 includes a coilover damper 21, an upper bracket 22, a lower bracket 23, and a base 24. One end of the coilover damper 21 is rotatably connected to the slider 143, and the other end of the coilover damper 21 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the base 24. The coilover damper 21 is located between the upper bracket 22 and the lower bracket 23, serving to protect the coilover damper 21 and also to enhance its load-bearing capacity. Both ends of the upper bracket 22 are rotatably connected to the upper ends of the fixed seat 141 and the upper ends of the base 24, respectively. Both ends of the lower bracket 23 are rotatably connected to the lower ends of the fixed seat 141 and the lower ends of the base 24, respectively.

There are two first connecting pieces 223, which are located on both sides of the first clearance groove 221 and are rotatably connected to both sides of the upper end of the fixing seat 141. The second clearance groove 222 is located at the lower end of the upper bracket 22 and is used to avoid the upper part of the base 24. There are two second connecting pieces 224, which are located on both sides of the second clearance groove 222 and are connected to both sides of the upper end of the base 24.

[0040] As an optional implementation, the lower support 23 is provided with a third clearance groove 231, a fourth clearance groove 232, a third connecting piece 233, and a fourth connecting piece 234. The third clearance groove 231 is located at the upper end of the lower support 23 and is used to avoid the lower end of the fixing seat 141. There are two third connecting pieces 233, which are located on both sides of the third clearance groove 231 and are rotatably connected to both sides of the lower end of the fixing seat 141. The fourth clearance groove 232 is located at the lower end of the lower support 23 and is used to avoid the lower end of the base 24. There are two fourth connecting pieces 234, which are located on both sides of the fourth clearance groove 232 and are connected to both sides of the lower end of the base 24.

[0041] As an optional implementation, a limiting post 241 is provided in the middle region of the side wall of the base 24, and the upper bracket 22 can abut against the limiting post 241, or the lower bracket 23 can abut against the limiting post 241. When the vertical damping component 2 rotates to the lowest point, the end of the fourth connecting piece 234 on the lower bracket 23 abuts against the limiting post 241, thereby restricting the vertical damping component 2 from continuing to rotate downward; when the vertical damping component 2 rotates to the highest point, the end of the second connecting piece 224 on the upper bracket 22 abuts against the limiting post 241. The second connecting piece 224 is provided with a notch, which contacts the limiting post 241, thereby restricting the vertical damping component 2 from continuing to rotate upward.

[0042] As an optional implementation, the vertical damping component 2 can be a hydraulic damper or an air damper.

[0043] As an optional implementation, the tail of the accessory connector 4 is provided with a ball head, a toothed bracket, or a clamping structure.
