Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gimbal equipment technology, and in particular to a novel lightweight and portable folding single-axis gimbal with a handle. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of video content creation and personal photography, the demands for shooting stability and image quality are rising. While traditional tripods provide a stable shooting platform, they have limitations when shooting on the go and capturing fast-paced shots. Handheld gimbals, as a new type of photography auxiliary device, are widely welcomed due to their portability and stability.

[0003] However, existing single-axis gimbals have the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. Although traditional single-axis gimbals also have a folding function, they are still relatively large in size, making them inconvenient to carry or put in a pocket when traveling. They take up a lot of backpack space and are not convenient for users to use when shooting outdoors. There is still a lot of room for optimization in the design of the size of each component.

[0005] 2. Most existing gimbals use round handles, which can fit the grip strength of the hand, but cannot perfectly fit the force surface and grip distance of the fingers when using them, resulting in difficulty in use and affecting the shooting experience. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a new type of lightweight and portable folding single-axis gimbal with a handle.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0008] A novel lightweight and portable folding single-axis gimbal includes a cylindrical handle, with a fixed part at the top for mounting a controller. A clamping mechanism is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the fixed part. The clamping mechanism includes a movable arm and a clamping structure mounted on the movable arm. One end of the movable arm is bent and connected to the upper part of the fixed part, and the other end of the movable arm is raised upward and has a space reserved at the bottom for accommodating the clamping structure.

[0009] The lower part of the fixed part is equipped with a support part that is parallel to the horizontal part of the movable arm. The support part serves as the gripping part of the handle and includes several support feet that are movably connected to the lower part of the fixed part. The outer wall of the support feet is arc-shaped, making the cross-section of the support part triangular arc-shaped.

[0010] Furthermore, a connector is fixedly provided on the top of the fixed part, and one bent end of the movable arm is axially connected to the connector.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing part extends outward and protrudes to provide a mounting groove for mounting the controller.

[0012] Furthermore, the edge of the bent end of the movable arm connected to the fixed part matches the outer edge of the mounting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the controller is slidably engaged within the mounting slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the clamping structure is rotatably connected to the movable arm, and a clamping plate for clamping photographic equipment is folded onto the clamping mechanism.

[0015] Furthermore, the connector is an integrally formed component with a perforation on the top of the fixing part.

[0016] Furthermore, the clamping plate is a component embedded in the clamping structure, and one end of the clamping plate is axially connected to the clamping structure. The clamping plates are symmetrically arranged on the clamping structure.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] This invention fixes the handle into a straight cylindrical structure and sets a rotatable clamping mechanism on the handle. The movable arm of the clamping mechanism is specially shaped so that it can fit the edges of the support and fixed parts of the handle in the folded state while having enough space to accommodate the clamping structure. In the folded state, the clamping structure is located between the movable arm and the support, and the horizontal part on the movable arm is parallel to the support. This minimizes some protruding structures and can effectively reduce the overall volume of the gimbal structure. The smoother external design helps to improve portability and makes it easier for users to carry. It also occupies less backpack space and solves the problem that the existing single-axis gimbals are not convenient to carry or put in pockets, occupy more backpack space, and are not conducive to convenient use by users when shooting outdoors. There is still a lot of room for optimization in the design of the size of each component.

[0019] This invention also designs the grip part, i.e. the support part, of the handle as a component with a triangular arc cross-section. The triangular arc grip part can provide more contact area, making it more stable when gripping. In addition, the triangular arc grip distance is small, and the user only needs to hold 1 / 3 of its outer wall to effectively grip it. Compared with the existing cylindrical handles, it is more labor-saving and comfortable to hold, providing a more comfortable grip experience. Especially when used for a long time, it solves the problem that the existing gimbals mostly use round handles, which, although they can fit the grip strength, cannot perfectly fit the force surface and grip distance of the fingers when using them, resulting in laborious use and affecting the shooting experience.

[0026] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a novel lightweight and portable folding single-axis gimbal includes a cylindrical handle 1. The upper part of the handle 1 is a fixing part 3 for mounting a controller 2. A clamping mechanism 4 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the fixing part 3. The clamping mechanism 4 includes a movable arm 5 and a clamping structure 6 mounted on the movable arm 5. One end of the movable arm 5 is bent and connected to the upper part of the fixing part 3. The other end of the movable arm 5 is raised upward and has a space reserved at the bottom to accommodate the clamping structure 6.

[0028] The lower part of the fixed part 3 is equipped with a support part 7 that is parallel to the horizontal part of the movable arm 5. The support part 7 serves as the gripping part of the handle 1 and includes several support feet 8 that are movably connected to the lower part of the fixed part 3. The outer wall of the support feet 8 is arc-shaped, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the support portion 7 is triangular arc-shaped.

[0029] Furthermore, a connector 9 is fixedly provided on the top of the fixing part 3, and one bent end of the movable arm 5 is axially connected to the connector 9.

[0030] Furthermore, the fixing part 3 extends outward and is provided with a mounting groove 10 for mounting the controller 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the edge of the bent end of the movable arm 5 connected to the fixed part 3 matches the outer edge of the mounting groove 10.

[0032] Furthermore, the controller 2 is slidably engaged within the mounting slot 10.

[0033] Furthermore, the clamping structure 6 is rotatably connected to the movable arm 5, and the clamping mechanism 4 is folded with a clamping plate 11 for clamping the photographic equipment.

[0034] Furthermore, the connector 9 is an integrally formed component with a perforation on the top of the fixing part 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the clamping plate 11 is a component embedded in the clamping structure 6, and one end of the clamping plate 11 is axially connected to the clamping structure 6. The clamping plate 11 is symmetrically arranged on the clamping structure 6.

[0036] The working process of this utility model begins with the user holding the handle 1 in their hand. The camera equipment is fixed by the clamping mechanism 4 on the handle 1. The user first places the camera equipment on the clamping structure 6, and then clamps it by the clamping plate 11. One end of the clamping plate 11 is axially connected to the clamping structure 6 and can rotate around the axis to accommodate camera equipment of different sizes. The clamping plates 11 are symmetrically arranged on the clamping structure 6 to ensure that the equipment remains balanced when clamped. When the user needs to fold up the gimbal, the movable arm 5 of the clamping mechanism 4 can be folded up so that it matches the edge of the support part 7 and the fixing part 3 of the handle 1. The bending design of the movable arm 5 makes the clamping structure 6 located between the movable arm 5 and the support part 7 in the folded state, reducing the protruding structure and thus reducing the size of the gimbal and improving portability. The triangular arc design of the support part 7 provides more contact area, making the grip more stable and reducing the force required to grip, providing a more comfortable grip experience.

[0037] This invention achieves compactness and portability of the gimbal in its folded state through a specially designed movable arm 5 and support part 7. The bending of the movable arm 5 and the triangular arc design of the support part 7 not only reduce the size of the gimbal but also improve the stability and comfort of holding it. This design makes the gimbal more suitable for travel or putting it in a pocket, solving the shortcomings of traditional single-axis gimbals in terms of portability, while providing a better shooting experience.

[0038] The specific embodiments of the utility model have been described in detail above, but they are only examples. The utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments and descriptions above are merely illustrative of the principles of the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to the utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the utility model as claimed.
