Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a photographic shoulder mount and photographic kit. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of photography, camera tripods serve as important auxiliary shooting equipment, effectively distributing the weight of the camera and helping photographers move flexibly and shoot stably in various scenarios such as news interviews and film and television shooting. As photographic technology develops towards specialization and refinement, and shooting needs expand from fixed scenes to dynamic and complex scenes, users are placing higher demands on the comfort and convenience of camera tripods.

[0003] Currently, most camera shoulder mounts in related technologies adopt a traditional single-shoulder support design and are equipped with a handle for the user to hold. When in use, the weight of the camera is almost entirely borne by the shoulder, and the user maintains the balance of the shoulder mount by continuously holding the handle.

[0004] This design has obvious flaws: First, holding the handle for a long time during shooting keeps the arm muscles in a state of tension, which can easily lead to fatigue and hand tremors. Furthermore, during the shooting preparation stage or when real-time operation is not required, the user still needs to hold the handle tightly and cannot take their hands off to rest, which greatly increases the burden of operation and reduces shooting efficiency. Second, the weight of the shoulder carrier is concentrated on the shoulder and lacks a reasonable weight distribution mechanism. Prolonged use will not only cause shoulder pain and discomfort, but may also damage the shoulder bones and muscles, making it difficult to guarantee user comfort. Utility Model Content

[0049] This utility model of a camera shoulder carrier effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies through the coordinated design of the shoulder support assembly, back plate assembly, and chest support assembly. It forms a stable support structure by conforming to corresponding parts of the human body through chest support, shoulder support, and back support positions, thereby independently maintaining the balance of the shoulder carrier and camera equipment. This frees users from the constraints of traditional handle grips, allowing them to relax their hands during preparation or non-operational periods, reducing arm muscle fatigue, lowering operational burden, and improving shooting efficiency. Simultaneously, it distributes the weight of the camera equipment and the shoulder carrier itself to the chest, shoulders, and back, avoiding the disadvantage of weight concentration on the shoulder in traditional single-shoulder support designs, reducing shoulder pressure, and lowering the risk of shoulder pain and injury due to prolonged weight-bearing. Furthermore, each support position fully conforms to the contours of the human body, providing comfortable pressure points, reducing localized pressure on the contact points between the equipment and the body, and optimizing the overall force distribution through multi-point support, greatly improving the comfort of using and controlling the camera. This allows photographers to engage in long, high-intensity shooting work with greater ease, providing a strong guarantee for obtaining high-quality footage. Attached Figure Description

[0066] This utility model embodiment provides a photographic shoulder mount 100, with reference to... Figure 1 The camera shoulder mount 100 includes:

[0067] The shoulder-mounted assembly 110 has a mounting position 110W for detachably mounting the photographic equipment 300;

[0068] Back panel assembly 120 is located at one end of shoulder support assembly 110 and connected to shoulder support assembly 110. Back panel assembly 120 is provided with shoulder support position 120J adapted to the curve of human shoulder and back support position 120B for conforming to the user's back.

[0069] The chest support assembly 130 is located at the other end of the shoulder support assembly 110 and connected to the shoulder support assembly 110. The chest support assembly 130 has a chest support position 130X for conforming to the user's chest.

[0070] like Figure 1As shown, the camera shoulder mount 100 involved in this embodiment mainly consists of a shoulder mount assembly 110, a backplate assembly 120, and a chest support assembly 130. These components, through clever design and coordinated operation, achieve efficient shooting assistance functions. The shoulder mount assembly 110, as the core component supporting the camera equipment 300 (such as a video camera), can be made of high-strength aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, formed using precision CNC machining. This ensures structural strength while effectively reducing its weight, and the surface is anodized, providing excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The top of the shoulder mount assembly 110 has a mounting position 110W for detachably mounting the camera equipment 300. This mounting position 110W can adopt a common quick-release plate structure, which is compatible with the camera equipment 300 or its external accessories, enabling quick and stable mounting of the camera equipment 300 onto the shoulder mount assembly 110. For example, the quick-release plate has standard 1 / 4-inch and 3 / 8-inch threaded holes, compatible with the bottom screw interfaces of most SLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, and professional camcorders on the market. Additionally, the quick-release plate is equipped with anti-dislodgement clips on both sides; once the photography equipment 300 is installed, the clips automatically lock to prevent accidental detachment. For disassembly, simply press the clip release button to easily remove the equipment, meeting the needs of quick equipment changeover in different shooting scenarios. Of course, this is merely an example and not a limitation. The end or side of the shoulder mount assembly 110 can be equipped with multiple 1 / 4-inch, 3 / 8-inch, or other types of expansion interfaces for mounting auxiliary shooting equipment such as follow focus units, monitors, and microphones, further expanding shooting capabilities.

[0071] Using the forward, backward, left, and right directions of the user carrying this camera shoulder carrier 100 as a reference direction, the back panel assembly 120 is located at the rear end of the shoulder carrier assembly 110 and is connected to the shoulder carrier assembly 110. When the user uses this camera shoulder carrier 100, the back panel assembly 120 provides support to the user's shoulders and back from the rear. Specifically, the shoulder support position 120J of the back panel assembly 120 fits against the user's shoulders, and the back support position 120B fits against the user's back, thus providing support for both the shoulders and back. The shoulder support position 120J can be composed of an arc-shaped support structure and equipped with soft padding to adapt to the contour of the human shoulder when fitted, thus providing shoulder support; while the back support position 120B can be composed of a flat support structure and also equipped with soft padding to fit against the human back, thus providing back support. In this embodiment, the structure and shape of the back panel assembly 120 can be varied, as long as it can provide shoulder support 120J and back support 120B, which is within the scope of application of this solution, and this embodiment does not limit it. Furthermore, the structure of the back panel assembly 120 can be designed to expand its functionality, which will be further explained in subsequent embodiments.

[0072] The chest support assembly 130 is located at the front end of the shoulder carry assembly 110 and is connected to it. When the user uses this photography shoulder carry 100, the chest support assembly 130 provides support to the user's chest on the front side. Specifically, the chest support position 130X of the chest support assembly 130 fits against the user's chest to provide chest support. The chest support position 130X can be composed of an arc-shaped support structure and equipped with soft padding to conform to the human chest and provide chest support. In this embodiment, the structure and shape of the chest support assembly 130 can be varied, as long as it provides the chest support position 130X, which is within the scope of application of this solution, and this embodiment does not limit it. Furthermore, the structure of the chest support assembly 130 can be designed to expand its functionality, which will be further explained in subsequent embodiments.

[0073] The working principle of this 100mm camera shoulder mount is as follows:

[0074] When using this camera shoulder mount 100, first, fix the camera equipment 300 to the shoulder mount assembly 110 via the mounting position 110W. Then, the user aligns the shoulder support position 120J of the back panel assembly 120 with their shoulder, the back support position 120B with their back, and the chest support position 130X of the chest support assembly 130 with their chest. At this point, the shoulder mount assembly 110, the back panel assembly 120, and the chest support assembly 130 together form a stable support system, distributing the weight of the camera equipment 300 and the shoulder mount itself to the user's chest, shoulders, and back through this support system.

[0075] During shooting, when it is necessary to adjust the shooting angle or perform fine operations, the user can use their hands to make adjustments. When it is not necessary to adjust the angle or perform other operations, due to the stable support structure, the user does not need to continuously grip the shoulder carrier, thus getting rid of the constraints of traditional handle gripping. The stable support structure formed by the chest support position 130X, shoulder support position 120J, and back support position 120B can independently maintain the balance of the shoulder carrier and the photography equipment 300, allowing the photographer to relax their hands during the shooting preparation stage or when not operating, reducing arm muscle fatigue.

[0076] This embodiment of the camera shoulder carrier 100, through the coordinated design of the shoulder carrier assembly 110, back plate assembly 120, and chest support assembly 130, effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies. Its chest support 130X, shoulder support 120J, and back support 120B conform to corresponding parts of the human body to form a stable support structure, thereby independently maintaining the balance of the shoulder carrier and the camera equipment 300. This frees the user from the constraints of traditional handle grips, allowing them to relax their hands during preparation or non-operational periods, reducing arm muscle fatigue, lowering operational burden, and improving shooting efficiency. Simultaneously, it allows the camera equipment to... The 300 and shoulder carrier distribute their weight across the chest, shoulders, and back, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional single-shoulder support designs where weight is concentrated on the shoulder. This reduces shoulder pressure and lowers the risk of pain and injury from prolonged weight-bearing. Furthermore, each support point conforms to the human body's contours, providing comfortable pressure points and reducing localized pressure on the contact area between the equipment and the body. By optimizing the overall force distribution through multi-point support, the comfort of using and controlling the camera is greatly improved, allowing photographers to engage in long, high-intensity shooting work with greater ease, thus providing a strong guarantee for obtaining high-quality footage.

[0077] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shoulder-mounted assembly 110 includes:

[0078] Shoulder-mounted base 111;

[0079] The quick-release plate 112 is detachably connected to the shoulder mount 111 or integrally formed. The quick-release plate 112 has a mounting position 110W and an insertion slot 112C for inserting the photographic equipment 300.

[0080] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shoulder-mounted assembly 110 mainly consists of a shoulder-mounted base 111 and a quick-release plate 112. The shoulder-mounted base 111 serves as the basic load-bearing component of the entire shoulder-mounted assembly 110. Its shape and size are ergonomically optimized, and it has a long, plate-like structure with a certain length. Along the length of the shoulder-mounted base 111, there are opposing front and rear ends. The chest support assembly 130 is located at the front end of the shoulder-mounted assembly 110, and the back panel assembly 120 is located at the rear end of the shoulder-mounted assembly 110.

[0081] The quick-release plate 112 and the shoulder mount base 111 offer flexible connection options, allowing for either a detachable connection or a one-piece molding configuration depending on actual production and usage needs. When a detachable connection is used, the two can be linked via screws or snap-fit ​​connections. This method not only facilitates easy assembly and disassembly but also ensures connection stability, allowing users to easily replace or upgrade the quick-release plate 112 according to different shooting requirements. If a one-piece molding configuration is used, the shoulder mount base 111 and quick-release plate 112 are formed into a single unit through casting or injection molding, ensuring higher structural strength and reducing the risk of loosening due to component connections. This is suitable for scenarios requiring high structural strength and where frequent replacement of the quick-release plate 112 is not necessary, meeting the needs of different users.

[0082] The quick-release plate 112 forms a mounting position 110W for installing the photographic equipment 300, and also has an insertion slot 112C for inserting the photographic equipment 300. The shape and size of the insertion slot 112C are adapted to the common bottom shape of the photographic equipment 300. For example, the insertion slot 112C is a dovetail groove, and the bottom of the photographic equipment 300 has a dovetail-shaped protrusion adapted to the dovetail groove. A flexible locking block can also be provided within the insertion slot 112C. When the photographic equipment 300 is inserted into the insertion slot 112C, the flexible locking block automatically abuts against the equipment or locks into the corresponding slot on the equipment, achieving quick positioning. Specifically, when installing the photographic equipment 300, the bottom of the equipment is aligned with the insertion slot 112C of the quick-release plate 112 and inserted. The flexible locking block automatically abuts against the equipment or locks into the corresponding slot on the equipment, fixing the equipment on the quick-release plate 112, thereby ensuring that the photographic equipment 300 is securely mounted on the shoulder mount assembly 110. In addition to the above-described structural configuration, the insertion slot 112C may also be other types, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0083] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The backplane assembly 120 includes:

[0084] Shoulder support 121 is connected to shoulder support base 111. Shoulder support 121 forms a shoulder support position 120J and shoulder support 121 is provided with a shoulder support surface 121M that supports the user's shoulder.

[0085] The back support plate 122 is connected to the shoulder support seat 121. The back support plate 122 forms a back support position 120B and has a back support surface 122M that supports the user's back.

[0086] In this embodiment, the back panel assembly 120, through a scientifically designed structure, provides comfortable and stable support for the user. It mainly consists of a shoulder support 121 and a back support plate 122. The main body of the shoulder support 121 adopts a biomimetic shoulder curve design, and the entire structure is a high-strength metal frame, providing a stable support base. The shoulder support surface 121M is integrally formed on the frame, ensuring shape accuracy while enhancing the overall integrity and reliability of the structure. When the user carries the photography shoulder carrier 100 on their shoulder, the shoulder support 121 conforms to the user's shoulder through its shoulder support surface 121M to achieve shoulder support.

[0087] The back support plate 122 is connected to the shoulder support 121, and the two can be fixedly connected or movably connected; this embodiment does not limit this. The main body of the back support plate 122 is designed to conform to the curve of the human back and is made of high-strength and lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber composite materials, to reduce the overall weight while ensuring structural strength. The back support surface 122M is integrally formed on the plate body. When the user carries the photography shoulder carry 100 on their shoulder, the back support plate 122 fits against the user's back through its back support surface 122M to achieve back support.

[0088] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The shoulder support surface 121M is curved; and / or,

[0089] The shoulder support surface 121M is provided with a first support pad; and / or,

[0090] The back support surface 122M is equipped with a second support pad.

[0091] In this embodiment, the shoulder support surface 121M can adopt a biomimetic curved surface design. Based on the natural shape of the trapezius muscle in the human shoulder, a precisely curved surface structure is formed through three-dimensional scanning data modeling. When this curved surface comes into contact with the shoulder, it can evenly distribute pressure, avoiding the problem of excessive local stress caused by traditional planar support, making the shoulder stress more in line with ergonomic principles.

[0092] The shoulder support surface 121M can be equipped with a first support pad. The structure of this first support pad can be varied. For example, it can employ a layered composite structure: the innermost layer is made of high-elasticity EVA material to provide basic support; the middle layer is memory foam, which automatically molds to the shoulder contour according to shoulder pressure; and the outer layer is covered with breathable mesh fabric with an antibacterial treatment to ensure dryness and hygiene during prolonged use. Other structures are possible besides this example, and this embodiment does not limit the specific design. The first support pad and the shoulder support surface 121M are detachably connected, for example, by Velcro, facilitating disassembly for cleaning or replacement with different types of support pads to meet the personalized needs of different users.

[0093] A second support pad can be provided on the back support surface 122M. The structure of this second support pad can be varied. For example, the structure of the second support pad can be the same as that of the first support pad, or the second support pad can be made of a honeycomb breathable gel material. This material has a unique porous structure that can quickly dissipate heat and moisture from the back, keeping it dry and comfortable. At the same time, the gel material has good cushioning properties, effectively relieving pressure on the back. Other structures besides the examples described above are also possible, and this embodiment does not limit this. The second support pad is detachably connected to the shoulder support surface 121M, for example, by Velcro, or the second support pad is fixed to the back support plate 122 by a slot, making assembly and disassembly convenient.

[0094] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The back support plate 122 is rotatably connected to the shoulder support 121. The back support plate 122 can rotate relative to the shoulder support 121 to overlap or unfold with the shoulder support 121.

[0095] In this embodiment, the back panel assembly 120 achieves flexible structural transformation through the rotatable connection design between the back support plate 122 and the shoulder support 121, enhancing the convenience of storage and carrying while ensuring support functionality. The back support plate 122 and the shoulder support 121 are rotatably connected via a dual-axis rotary hinge made of high-strength stainless steel, possessing wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties. The hinge is located on both sides of the shoulder support 121, precisely engaging with corresponding grooves on the back support plate 122 to form a stable rotation fulcrum. The hinge can be equipped with a torque adjustment device, allowing the user to adjust the resistance during the rotation of the back support plate 122 as needed, ensuring that the back support plate 122 maintains a fixed angle during use while allowing for easy rotation during storage.

[0096] The back support plate 122 can rotate relative to the shoulder support 121, allowing it to be folded or unfolded. When unfolded, the back support plate 122 and the shoulder support 121 form a certain angle, with the back support surface 122M and the shoulder support surface 121M respectively fitting against the user's back and shoulder, jointly bearing the weight of the photography shoulder carrier 100 and the equipment. When folding or carrying is required, the user can rotate the back support plate 122 around the hinge to tightly fold it against the shoulder support 121, significantly reducing the volume of the back panel assembly 120 and facilitating storage and transportation. To prevent the back support plate 122 from rotating accidentally after folding, a magnetic positioning device is provided on the contact surface between the shoulder support 121 and the back support plate 122. This device consists of multiple small, powerful magnets and corresponding metal plates. When the back support plate 122 is folded into place, the magnets and metal plates automatically attract and fix it, ensuring the stability of the folded state.

[0097] Specifically, in use, the user first unfolds the back support plate 122 from its folded state by rotating it around the dual-axis hinge. Based on their back shape and shooting posture, the user adjusts the rotational resistance of the back support plate 122 using the torque adjustment device to fix it at a suitable angle. The user then places the shoulder support surface 121M against their shoulder and the back support surface 122M against their back. The back support assembly 120 then works in conjunction with the shoulder carry assembly 110 and the chest support assembly 130 to distribute the weight of the photography equipment 300 and the shoulder carry to multiple parts of the body. After shooting, the user rotates the back support plate 122 around the hinge to fold it together with the shoulder support base 121. When the back support plate 122 is in place, the magnetic positioning device automatically attaches and fixes it, completing the storage of the back support assembly 120 for convenient carrying or storage of the equipment.

[0098] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least one of the two opposite sides of the shoulder support 121 may be provided with an arc-shaped groove 121C. The arc-shaped groove 121C extends along the rotation trajectory of the back support plate 122. The back support plate 122 is correspondingly constructed with an abutment protrusion 122D, which is accommodated in the arc-shaped groove 121C and can move with the rotation of the back support plate 122. When the back support plate 122 is unfolded to any angle, the abutment protrusion 122D abuts tightly against the side wall of the arc-shaped groove 121C, so that the back support plate 122 remains fixed at the corresponding unfolding angle, thereby providing support for the user's back.

[0099] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The 100 camera shoulder mount also includes:

[0100] An adjustment component 140 is disposed between the shoulder support 121 and the shoulder base 111. The shoulder support 121 is connected to the shoulder base 111 through the adjustment component 140, and the adjustment component 140 can adjust the distance between the shoulder support 121 and the shoulder base 111.

[0101] In this embodiment, the camera shoulder carrier 100 is equipped with an adjustment component 140, which is located between the shoulder support 121 and the shoulder base 111. By flexibly adjusting the distance between the shoulder support 121 and the shoulder base 111, the needs of different user body types and shooting postures can be met. Whether it is a petite female user or a tall male user, they can find the most comfortable shoulder support position 120J by adjusting the device, greatly improving the versatility of the camera shoulder carrier 100.

[0102] The adjustment component 140 can have various structural configurations. For example, it can primarily consist of a telescopic rod, an adjustment knob, and a limiting slot. The telescopic rod employs a multi-level nested structure, comprising an inner tube and an outer tube. The inner tube can slide and extend within the outer tube, and both the inner and outer tubes have multiple equally spaced limiting holes. The adjustment knob is mounted on the outside of the outer tube and contains a positioning pin that matches the limiting holes. Rotating the adjustment knob controls the extension and retraction of the positioning pin, locking and unlocking the inner tube. The limiting slot is located at the connection between the shoulder base 111 and the shoulder support 121, guiding the telescopic rod's extension and retraction direction and providing stable support. To facilitate more precise distance adjustment, scale markings are provided on the outside of the telescopic rod, with the scale in centimeters clearly indicating different extension lengths. Furthermore, the adjustment knob has anti-slip textures for easy grip and force application during operation.

[0103] Besides the example above, the structural composition of the adjustment component 140 can also be other, such as:

[0104] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The adjustment component 140 includes:

[0105] Pipe clamp 141 is mounted on shoulder support base 111;

[0106] The regulating pipe 142 is inserted through the pipe clamp 141 and can be clamped or released by the pipe clamp 141.

[0107] The shoulder support 121 is located at one end of the adjusting tube 142 and is connected to the adjusting tube 142.

[0108] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 140 mainly consists of a pipe clamp 141 and an adjustment pipe 142. The pipe clamp 141 is located on the top of the shoulder support base 111. Its main body has a U-shaped structure and is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, possessing good pressure resistance and wear resistance. One arm of the pipe clamp 141 has a threaded hole, and the corresponding position of the other arm has a through hole. An adjusting bolt passes through the through hole and connects to the threaded hole to form an adjustable clamping structure. The head of the adjusting bolt is a knob with anti-slip texture for easy user operation.

[0109] The adjusting tube 142 is a hollow cylindrical fitting, also made of high-strength aluminum alloy, with thickened walls to enhance load-bearing capacity. The outer surface of the adjusting tube 142 has axially distributed anti-slip textures to increase friction with the tube clamp 141. One end of the adjusting tube 142 is inserted into the shoulder support 121 and connected by snap-fit, adhesive, or other methods to ensure a secure connection; the other end passes through the U-shaped opening of the tube clamp 141, allowing free extension and retraction within the clamp 141 to adjust the distance between the shoulder support 121 and the shoulder base 111. One or more adjusting tubes 142 can be used; for example, two adjusting tubes 142 can be arranged side-by-side with intervals, both connected to the shoulder support 121 and passing through the tube clamp 141.

[0110] In use, the user rotates the adjusting bolt knob on the tube clamp 141 according to the fit requirements of their shoulder and the shoulder support base 111. This loosens the adjusting bolt, increasing the distance between the two arms of the tube clamp 141, thus releasing the clamp on the adjusting tube 142. At this time, the adjusting tube 142 can freely extend and slide within the tube clamp 141. The user can pull out or push in the adjusting tube 142 to adjust the distance between the shoulder support base 121 and the shoulder support base 111. During the adjustment process, the user can precisely control the adjustment length by observing the scale markings on the adjusting tube 142 (if any) or by directly feeling the comfort of the shoulder support.

[0111] After adjusting to the appropriate distance, rotate the adjusting bolt knob again to tighten the adjusting bolt. The two arms of the pipe clamp 141 will then come closer together, clamping the adjusting tube 142. At this point, the inner wall of the pipe clamp 141 is tightly against the surface of the adjusting tube 142, and the increased friction securely fixes the adjusting tube 142, keeping the shoulder support 121 in a stable position and providing reliable support for the user's shoulder. During shooting, even if the equipment vibrates or is subjected to external forces, the adjusting tube 142 will not shift due to the clamping force of the pipe clamp 141, ensuring the stability of the backplate assembly 120. If further distance adjustments are needed, repeat the above steps.

[0112] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2A slider 143 is provided at the other end of the adjusting tube 142 away from the shoulder support 121, and the slider 143 slides in engagement with the shoulder base 111. In this embodiment, the adjusting component 140 further optimizes the adjustment mechanism between the shoulder support 121 and the shoulder base 111 by introducing the slider 143 structure, thereby improving structural stability and operational smoothness while achieving convenient distance adjustment. Specifically, the slider 143 forms a sliding engagement relationship with the shoulder base 111, thereby providing more stable guidance and support for the extension and retraction of the adjusting tube 142. Alternatively, the bottom of the shoulder base 111 may be provided with a slide rail, and the slider 143 may be fitted onto the slide rail and slide along the slide rail, thus forming a sliding engagement with the shoulder base 111; or, the bottom of the shoulder base 111 may be provided with a groove, and the slider 143 may be embedded in the groove and slide along the groove, thus forming a sliding engagement with the shoulder base 111. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0113] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Both the shoulder support base 111 and the shoulder support base 121 are provided with shoulder strap connection holes 10K for connecting shoulder straps; and / or,

[0114] The shoulder mount 111 is provided with a first expansion interface 21K for connecting external accessories; and / or,

[0115] The shoulder support 121 is provided with a second expansion interface 22K for connecting external accessories.

[0116] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, both the shoulder carrier base 111 and the shoulder support 121 can be equipped with shoulder strap connection holes 10K, optimizing the wearing method of the device. Specifically, the shoulder strap connection holes 10K on the shoulder carrier base 111 are located on its two side edges, symmetrically distributed, and their inner diameter is adapted to common shoulder strap buckle sizes. The shoulder strap connection holes 10K on the shoulder support 121 are located on its top two sides, also symmetrically distributed. When using the device, users can pass the shoulder strap buckles through the shoulder strap connection holes 10K on the shoulder carrier base 111 and the shoulder support 121 respectively, and then adjust the shoulder strap length and fix it. The shoulder strap connection holes 10K on the shoulder carrier base 111, together with the connection holes on the shoulder support 121, form a double-point fixing structure for the shoulder strap, distributing part of the weight of the shoulder carrier to other parts of the body and reducing the single force on the shoulder. During shooting, users can carry the shoulder carrier more stably through the shoulder straps, and even with large movements or long shooting periods, the shoulder carrier is not prone to displacement, ensuring shooting stability.

[0117] like Figure 1As shown, a first expansion interface 21K can be provided on the shoulder mount 111, and the first expansion interface 21K can be distributed at the front end of the shoulder mount 111. The interface type can include standard 1 / 4-inch threaded holes, 3 / 8-inch threaded holes, and cold shoe interfaces, etc. Among them, the 1 / 4-inch and 3 / 8-inch threaded holes are machined with high precision to ensure a tight fit with various accessory screws; the cold shoe interface is made of metal, which has good conductivity and stability, and can be used for quick installation of accessories such as flashlights and microphones.

[0118] like Figure 3 As shown, a second expansion interface 22K can be provided on the shoulder support 121. The second expansion interface 22K can be distributed on the side of the shoulder support 121 (such as the rear side). Its interface type can refer to the interface type of the first expansion interface 21K, and will not be repeated here. It can be used for quick installation of accessories such as battery boxes.

[0119] Among them, the rich variety of expansion interfaces greatly expands the functionality of the camera shoulder mount 100. Users can quickly install various accessories according to different shooting needs, such as installing a monitor to realize real-time image monitoring, connecting a follow focus to improve focusing accuracy, and configuring a battery box to extend battery life. This makes the shoulder mount adaptable to various scenarios such as news interviews, film and television shooting, and commercial photography, improving the versatility and professional performance of the equipment.

[0120] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The chest support assembly 130 includes:

[0121] Connector 131 is connected to shoulder support base 111;

[0122] The telescopic arm 132 has one end rotatably engaged with the connecting seat 131 and can rotate or remain stationary relative to it. The telescopic arm 132 can be adjusted in length by extending or shortening.

[0123] The chest support seat 133 is located at the other end of the telescopic arm 132 and is rotatably connected to the telescopic arm 132. The chest support seat 133 forms a chest support position 130X and has a chest support surface 133M that supports the user's chest.

[0124] In this embodiment, the chest support assembly 130 adopts a combined design of a connecting seat 131, a telescopic arm 132 (also referred to as a telescopic component), and a chest support seat 133 to achieve multi-angle and multi-dimensional adjustment functions, providing users with comfortable and stable chest support. The connecting seat 131, serving as the connection hub between the chest support assembly 130 and the shoulder support base 111, is made of high-strength metal and formed through precision casting. The connecting seat 131 can be fixedly connected to the shoulder support base 111. For example, its bottom is provided with a mounting groove adapted to the shoulder support base 111, and a threaded hole is provided in the mounting groove. A screw can be passed through the shoulder support base 111 and inserted into the threaded hole to securely install the connecting seat 131 at the front end of the shoulder support base 111. Alternatively, the connecting seat 131 can also be slidably connected to the shoulder support base 111; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0125] The connecting seat 131 can be equipped with a rotating shaft seat, which houses a high-precision bearing. This bearing engages with the rotating shaft at one end of the telescopic arm 132, allowing the telescopic arm 132 to rotate flexibly relative to the connecting seat 131. Simultaneously, the bearing design effectively reduces rotational friction, ensuring smooth rotation. Figure 5 As shown, to fix the rotation angle of the telescopic arm 132, a locking knob 1 is provided on the side of the rotating shaft seat. Between the locking knob 1 and the rotating shaft is a gear assembly consisting of a fixed gear disc 2 and a rotating gear disc 3. The fixed gear disc 2 and the rotating gear disc 3 are respectively located on the connecting seat 131 and the telescopic arm 132. The rotating gear disc 3 can rotate with the telescopic arm 132, and the opposing surfaces of the rotating gear disc 3 and the fixed gear disc 2 have meshing teeth that engage with each other. The locking knob 1 can press against the rotating gear disc 3 through its internal tightening structure. Under the pressing action of the locking knob 1, the rotating gear disc 3 and the fixed gear disc 2 can form a tight engagement. Tightening the locking knob 1 will cause the rotating gear disc 3 and the fixed gear disc 2 to engage in opposite directions, thus restricting the rotation of the telescopic arm 132 relative to the connecting seat 131; loosening the locking knob 1 will cause the rotating gear disc 3 and the fixed gear disc 2 to disengage in opposite directions, allowing the telescopic arm 132 to rotate relative to the connecting seat 131 for angle adjustment.

[0126] The telescopic boom 132 can adopt a multi-stage boom structure, consisting of an inner boom and an outer boom. The inner boom can extend and slide within the outer boom. Positioning slots and blocks are provided between the inner and outer booms. Multiple positioning slots are distributed along the axial direction on the inner boom, and retractable blocks are provided at corresponding positions on the outer boom. The blocks are driven by springs. When the inner boom extends to the appropriate position, the blocks pop out under the action of the springs and embed into the positioning slots, thereby fixing the length of the telescopic boom 132.

[0127] The main body of the breast support 133 can adopt an arc-shaped design that conforms to the curve of the human chest. The internal structure is a high-strength plastic frame, and the external surface is wrapped with high-density memory foam. The surface of the memory foam is covered with skin-friendly and breathable mesh fabric, providing a comfortable support experience. This is merely an example and not a limitation; other designs are also possible. The breast support 133 and the other end of the telescopic arm 132 can be connected via a hinge structure. This hinge structure allows the breast support 133 to rotate relative to the telescopic arm 132, enabling flexible adjustment of the angle of the breast support surface 133M so that the breast support surface 133M can fully conform to the user's chest.

[0128] In this embodiment, the length adjustment of the telescopic arm 132, the angle adjustment of the telescopic arm 132 relative to the connecting seat 131, and the angle adjustment of the chest support seat 133 relative to the telescopic arm 132 enable the chest support assembly 130 to adapt to the chest position of users of different heights and body types, as well as various shooting postures. The adjustment range is wide and precise, achieving true personalized adaptation and improving user comfort. Furthermore, when the camera shoulder mount is not in use, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this allows the chest support assembly 130 to be stacked together with the shoulder support assembly 110 for easy storage, making it convenient to carry and transport.

[0129] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the shoulder-mounted base 111 is provided with a slide rail 113;

[0130] The connecting seat 131 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 113 and can slide or remain stationary relative to the slide rail 113.

[0131] To further enhance the flexibility and adaptability of the chest support assembly 130 of the camera shoulder mount 100, its connection with the shoulder mount base 111 is optimized. In this embodiment, a slide rail 113 is added to the bottom of the shoulder mount base 111, allowing the connecting seat 131 to slide in conjunction with the slide rail 113. This design enables the chest support assembly 130 to be adjusted in position on the shoulder mount base 111, better meeting the needs of different users and shooting scenarios.

[0132] The bottom of the shoulder-mounted base 111 is equipped with a slide rail 113, which is precision-manufactured and has good strength and straightness. The slide rail 113 is elongated and extends along the length of the shoulder-mounted base 111. Its cross-section is T-shaped, and the two side walls are provided with inwardly protruding limiting strips to prevent the connecting seat 131 from disengaging from the slide rail 113 during sliding. The top of the connecting seat 131 is provided with a sliding groove that is adapted to the slide rail 113. The shape and size of the sliding groove are precisely matched with the slide rail 113 to form a sliding pair. The connecting seat 131 is also provided with a locking mechanism, which includes a locking operation button, a tightening structure and an elastic element. When it is necessary to fix the position of the connecting seat 131, under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element, the locking operation button squeezes the tightening structure to move towards the slide rail 113. The tightening structure is tightly attached to the bottom surface of the slide rail 113, thereby firmly locking the connecting seat 131 on the slide rail 113. When an external force is applied to the locking operation button to loosen the tightening structure, the tightening structure separates from the slide rail 113, and the connecting seat 131 can slide freely on the slide rail 113.

[0133] In this embodiment, the structural design of the connecting seat 131, telescopic arm 132, and chest support seat 133 remains consistent with the original design. Based on this, the front-to-back position adjustment of the chest support assembly 130 on the shoulder support base 111 is achieved through the sliding engagement of the slide rail 113 and the connecting seat 131. When the connecting seat 131 slides on the slide rail 113, the telescopic arm 132 and chest support seat 133 move accordingly. Users can flexibly adjust the position of the chest support assembly 130 according to their chest position, shooting posture, and the center of gravity distribution of the photographic equipment 300, allowing the chest support position 130X to fit the chest more precisely, optimizing the weight distribution of the shoulder support frame, and improving overall comfort and stability.

[0134] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The telescopic boom 132 includes:

[0135] The first arm 1321 is rotatably engaged with the connecting seat 131;

[0136] The second arm 1322 is slidably disposed on the first arm 1321 and connected to the chest support seat 133;

[0137] A locking component 1323 is disposed on one of the first arm body 1321 and the second arm body 1322. The other of the first arm body 1321 and the second arm body 1322 is provided with a plurality of toothed grooves 132C. The plurality of toothed grooves 132C are arranged sequentially at intervals along the sliding direction of the second arm body 1322. The locking component 1323 is used to form a locking engagement with the toothed grooves 132C to fix the second arm body 1322 relative to the first arm body 1321 in a static position, or to release the locking engagement with the toothed grooves 132C to allow the second arm body 1322 to move and extend relative to the first arm body 1321.

[0138] In this embodiment, the telescopic arm 132 achieves flexible adjustment and reliable fixation of its length through the coordinated operation of the first arm body 1321, the second arm body 1322, and the locking assembly 1323. The first arm body 1321 serves as the basic support component of the entire telescopic arm 132, providing a carrier for the installation and connection of other components. Its material can be high-strength and lightweight metals such as aluminum alloy to ensure stable support while reducing overall weight for easy carrying. The second arm body 1322 is slidably mounted on the first arm body 1321. Specifically, this sliding connection can be achieved by providing a smooth groove inside the first arm body 1321, with a corresponding sliding block on the second arm body 1322 that matches the groove. The sliding of the sliding block within the groove enables the telescopic movement of the second arm body 1322 relative to the first arm body 1321. The second arm body 1322 also uses a similar lightweight, high-strength material as the first arm body 1321 to ensure the stability and portability of the overall structure. In addition, the second arm 1322 can be nested with the first arm 1321 to achieve a sliding fit. It should be noted that the naming of the first arm 1321 and the second arm 1322 does not constitute a limitation on the shape of the corresponding structure, and other names such as first rod and second rod, first cylinder and second cylinder, etc. can also be used.

[0139] The locking component 1323 is disposed on one of the first arm body 1321 and the second arm body 1322. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the locking component 1323 is disposed on the first arm body 1321 (of course, it is also feasible to dispose of it on the second arm body 1322, and the principle is the same). A plurality of toothed grooves 132C are provided on the other of the first arm body 1321 and the second arm body 1322, i.e., the second arm body 1322. The plurality of toothed grooves 132C are sequentially spaced along the sliding direction of the second arm body 1322.

[0140] During use, the user needs to adjust the distance between the breast support 133 and the body, i.e., adjust the length of the telescopic arm 132, according to their chest position and shooting needs. At this time, by operating the locking component 1323, the locking engagement between the locking component 1323 and the toothed groove 132C is released. Then, the user holds the portion of the second arm 1322 located outside the first arm 1321 and pulls or pushes the second arm 1322 in along the length of the first arm 1321. Once the second arm 1322 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the locking component 1323 is released, and the locking component 1323 and the toothed groove 132C re-engage, fixing the second arm 1322 relative to the first arm 1321. The user can further adjust the rotation angle of the first arm 1321 relative to the connecting seat 131 and the rotation angle of the breast support 133 relative to the telescopic arm 132 to ensure the breast support surface 133M fully conforms to the chest.

[0141] During filming, if the shooting scene changes or the equipment's center of gravity shifts, and the length of the telescopic arm 132 needs to be readjusted, simply repeat the above steps. Through the cooperation of the locking component 1323 and the toothed groove 132C, users can quickly and accurately adjust the length of the telescopic arm 132, ensuring stability after adjustment.

[0142] The locking component 1323 can have various structural configurations, for example:

[0143] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The locking assembly 1323 includes a rotatable locking pawl 13231 and a reset member 13232. The locking pawl 13231 can be rotated to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking pawl 13231 is in the locked position, it inserts into the tooth groove 132C to fix the second arm 1322 relative to the first arm 1321. When the locking pawl 13231 is in the unlocked position, it exits the tooth groove 132C to allow the second arm 1322 to extend and retract relative to the first arm 1321. The reset member 13232 acts on the locking pawl 13231 to provide a force to the locking pawl 13231 to reset it toward the locked position.

[0144] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 1323 includes a locking pawl 13231 and a reset member 13232. As an example, the locking pawl 13231 is rotatably connected to the first arm 1321 via a pin, and a torsion spring is provided on the pin as the reset member 13232. One end of the torsion spring is fixed to the first arm 1321, and the other end acts on the locking pawl 13231 to provide a force to the locking pawl 13231 to reset it towards the locking position. The locking pawl 13231 can be rotated to switch between the locking position and the unlocking position. When the locking pawl 13231 is in the locking position, it inserts into the tooth groove 132C to keep the second arm 1322 stationary relative to the first arm 1321. When the locking pawl 13231 is in the unlocking position, it disengages from the tooth groove 132C to allow the second arm 1322 to extend and retract relative to the first arm 1321. Based on the multiple toothed grooves 132C, the locking pawl 13231 can be inserted into different toothed grooves 132C to make the second arm 1322 stationary relative to the first arm 1321 at different positions.

[0145] When the user needs to adjust the length of the telescopic arm 132, they manually rotate the locking pawl 13231 in the unlocking direction to overcome the force of the reset element 13232 (such as a torsion spring), causing the locking pawl 13231 to disengage from the toothed groove 132C. At this time, the second arm 1322 is in the unlocked state and can freely extend and retract relative to the first arm 1321. After the user adjusts the second arm 1322 to a suitable length according to actual needs, they release the locking pawl 13231. Under the action of the reset element 13232 (such as a torsion spring), the locking pawl 13231 automatically rotates back to the locking position and inserts into the corresponding toothed groove 132C, thereby fixing the second arm 1322 relative to the first arm 1321 in a static position, completing the length adjustment and locking operation. Furthermore, the reset member 13232 continuously provides a resetting force to the locking pawl 13231 toward the locking position. During normal use, even if subjected to certain external vibrations or impacts, the locking pawl 13231 can always remain inserted into the tooth groove 132C under the action of the reset member 13232, ensuring that the relative fixation between the second arm 1322 and the first arm 1321 is stable and reliable, avoiding the normal use of the camera shoulder mount 100 due to accidental loosening, and providing a solid guarantee for the stable support and expansion of the camera shoulder mount 100 in various scenarios.

[0146] In this embodiment, the telescopic arm 132 eliminates the numerous cumbersome parts found in traditional complex locking structures. It simplifies the overall structure significantly by using only a simple locking pawl 13231 in conjunction with multiple toothed grooves 132C. This not only reduces the number of parts and lowers the assembly difficulty and cost during manufacturing, but also makes the internal structure of the product more compact, effectively reducing the structural space occupied and thus helping to reduce the overall size of the product, making it easier for users to carry and store. Furthermore, users can easily switch between the locked and unlocked positions simply by rotating the locking pawl 13231. The entire operation is simple and intuitive, requiring no complicated unlocking steps, greatly saving users' time and effort, and significantly improving ease of use and user experience.

[0147] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The first arm 1321 is provided with a slide rail 1321D, and the second arm 1322 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 1321D and is slidably disposed on the first arm 1321.

[0148] The locking assembly 1323 is disposed on the first arm body 1321, and a plurality of toothed grooves 132C are formed on the second arm body 1322.

[0149] In this embodiment, the slide rail 1321D on the first arm 1321 can be closed at one end and open at the other. The second arm 1322 is inserted into the slide rail 1321D from the open end and forms a sliding engagement with the slide rail 1321D. The second arm 1322 can slide along the slide rail 1321D to extend or retract. The slide rail 1321D can be manufactured with high-precision technology to ensure surface flatness and smoothness. Common shapes include rectangular or dovetail shapes, which can provide stable and precise guidance for the sliding of the second arm 1322, ensuring that the second arm 1322 will not wobble or deviate during the extension and retraction process, making the telescopic component of the photographic equipment more stable and reliable when adjusting the length. Furthermore, by setting the locking component 1323 on the first arm 1321 and engaging with the toothed groove 132C on the second arm 1322, a simple and effective locking method is formed.

[0150] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 The surface of the first arm body 1321 is provided with a receiving cavity 1321Q and a first cavity opening disposed opposite to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 1321Q; the locking assembly 1323 is located in the receiving cavity 1321Q.

[0151] The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 1321Q is provided with a first opening 10. The receiving cavity 1321Q is connected to the slide 1321D through the first opening 10. One end of the locking pawl 13231 is a rotating end, and the other end is a holding end that is adapted to the tooth groove 132C. The holding end passes through the slide 1321D from the first opening 10.

[0152] In this embodiment, a receiving cavity 1321Q is specially designed on the surface of the first arm 1321. This receiving cavity 1321Q has a specific shape and size, designed to provide a dedicated and stable installation space for the locking assembly 1323. The receiving cavity 1321Q has a first opening opposite to the bottom wall of the cavity, which facilitates the installation and subsequent maintenance of the locking assembly 1323. The receiving cavity 1321Q is formed using high-precision molds and precision machining processes to ensure the flatness and dimensional accuracy of the cavity wall, so as to ensure that the locking assembly 1323 can be accurately installed and fits tightly with the overall structure of the first arm 1321 without affecting the structural strength of the first arm 1321. At the same time, the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 1321Q is provided with a first opening 10, which cleverly connects the receiving cavity 1321Q with the slide 1321D. This connection design provides the necessary channel for the movement of the locking pawl 13231.

[0153] The locking assembly 1323 is housed within the receiving cavity 1321Q of the first arm body 1321. The locking pawl 13231 in the locking assembly 1323 has a unique structure, with one end being a rotating end that is rotatably connected to the first arm body 1321 via a pin. The other end of the locking pawl 13231 is a retaining end that is adapted to the tooth groove 132C. This retaining end passes through the first opening 10 into the slide rail 1321D, thereby enabling precise engagement with the tooth groove 132C on the second arm body 1322.

[0154] The design of the receiving cavity 1321Q and the first cavity opening on the first arm body 1321 makes the installation of the locking component 1323 extremely convenient. Installers can easily insert the locking component 1323 into the receiving cavity 1321Q and secure it through the first cavity opening, greatly improving production assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the design of the receiving cavity 1321Q and the slide rail 1321D connected through the first opening 10 cleverly achieves the engagement of the locking pawl 13231 and the toothed groove 132C without occupying excessive additional space, making the internal structure of the entire product more compact and rational.

[0155] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10The rotating end extends with a pressing part 13231B, which protrudes from the first cavity and is used to rotate the locking pawl 13231 when subjected to external force. The pressing part 13231B is ergonomically designed, and can be flat or curved for easy finger pressing. The pressing part 13231B is integrally formed with the rotating end and is made of the same material as the locking pawl 13231, ensuring overall strength and durability. Users can easily rotate the locking pawl 13231 by simply pressing the pressing part 13231B with their fingers, without the need for additional tools. Compared to traditional methods that require complex unlocking operations, this design allows users to quickly unlock and lock the second arm 1322. For example, in outdoor shooting scenarios, photographers need to quickly adjust the length of their equipment. By pressing the pressing part 13231B, they can quickly unlock and adjust the length of the second arm 1322. After shooting, the arm can be quickly locked, greatly improving operational efficiency and meeting users' needs for rapid operation in different scenarios.

[0156] As an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The locking assembly 1323 also includes a mounting base 13233. The locking pawl 13231 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 13233 via a rotating shaft. The mounting base 13233 is adapted to the receiving cavity 1321Q. The locking assembly 1323 is detachably received in the receiving cavity 1321Q via the mounting base 13233.

[0157] The reset component 13232 includes a reset torsion spring, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft. One end of the reset torsion spring abuts or connects to the mounting base 13233, and the other end abuts or connects to the locking pawl 13231.

[0158] The locking assembly 1323 adds a key component, the mounting base 13233, to which the locking pawl 13231 is rotatably connected via a pivot. The shape and size of the mounting base 13233 are adapted to the receiving cavity 1321Q, allowing the locking assembly 1323 to be detachably housed within the cavity 1321Q via the mounting base 13233. This detachable design greatly facilitates subsequent maintenance, repair, and component replacement. The detachable connection between the mounting base 13233 and the first arm body 1321 can be achieved using screws, snap-fit ​​connections, etc., selected according to actual needs. The mounting base 13233 can be made of high-strength engineering plastics or lightweight alloy materials, ensuring structural strength while minimizing its own weight to avoid excessively impacting the overall weight of the telescopic assembly. The reset component 13232 uses a reset torsion spring, which is sleeved on the pivot. One end of the reset torsion spring is tightly abutted against the mounting base 13233 or connected through a specific connection structure, while the other end abuts against or is connected to the locking pawl 13231. This connection method enables the reset torsion spring to continuously provide a stable force for the locking pawl 13231 to return to the locking position.

[0159] The locking assembly 1323 is detachably connected to the receiving cavity 1321Q via the mounting base 13233, which greatly improves assembly efficiency during product manufacturing and assembly. Installers can pre-assemble components such as the locking pawl 13231 and the return torsion spring on the mounting base 13233 before installing the entire assembly into the receiving cavity 1321Q, reducing the difficulty and complexity of direct installation within the receiving cavity 1321Q. During product use, if the locking assembly 1323 malfunctions, such as wear on the locking pawl 13231 or failure of the return torsion spring, the user or maintenance personnel can easily remove the mounting base 13233 from the receiving cavity 1321Q to repair or replace the relevant components individually.

[0160] As an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The mounting base 13233 is provided with a mounting cavity 13233Q and a second cavity opening disposed opposite to the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 13233Q, and the locking pawl 13231 is accommodated in the mounting cavity 13233Q.

[0161] The pressing part 13231B passes through the second cavity and is exposed from the first cavity. The bottom wall of the mounting cavity 13233Q is provided with a second opening 20, which is aligned with the first opening 10. The holding end passes through the second opening 20 and enters the slide 1321D through the first opening 10.

[0162] Mounting base 13233, as a key component of locking assembly 1323, is provided with mounting cavity 13233Q and a second opening opposite to the bottom wall of mounting cavity 13233Q. Locking pawl 13231 is housed in mounting cavity 13233Q, the size and shape of which precisely match the locking pawl 13231, providing stable space for its rotation. Pressing part 13231B passes through the second opening and is exposed through the first opening of the first arm body 1321. This design allows the user to directly and conveniently operate the pressing part 13231B to control the locking pawl 13231. The bottom wall of mounting cavity 13233Q has a second opening 20, which is aligned with the first opening 10 on the wall of the first arm body 1321 housing cavity 1321Q. The locking pawl 13231, with its locking end adapted to the toothed groove 132C, passes through the second opening 20 and enters the slide rail 1321D through the first opening 10, thus enabling precise engagement with the toothed groove 132C on the second arm body 1322. The precise accommodation of the locking pawl 13231 in the mounting cavity 13233Q of the mounting base 13233, and the alignment of the second opening 20 with the first opening 10, make the installation and operation of the locking pawl 13231 more stable. During use, even if the photographic equipment is subjected to significant external vibration or impact, the locking pawl 13231 can maintain a stable rotational state within the mounting cavity 13233Q without shaking or shifting.

[0163] As an optional embodiment, the mounting base 13233 has connecting holes for inserting fasteners that detachably connect the mounting base 13233 to the first arm body 1321. In this embodiment, the mounting base 13233 has connecting holes, and the number of connecting holes is reasonably set according to the size of the mounting base 13233 and the actual force requirements, usually two or four, symmetrically distributed. The diameter of the connecting holes matches the selected fasteners for inserting the fasteners that detachably connect the mounting base 13233 to the first arm body 1321. Common fasteners are bolts or screws. By passing the bolts or screws through the holes on the wall of the first arm body 1321 receiving cavity 1321Q and screwing them into the connecting holes, the mounting base 13233 and the first arm body 1321 are securely connected, which is simple to operate and provides a firm connection.

[0164] As an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first arm body 1321 is provided with a cover plate 1324, the cover plate 1324 is provided with a third opening 30, the cover plate 1324 covers the first cavity, and the pressing part 13231B extends out from the third opening 30 of the cover plate 1324 for exposure.

[0165] In this embodiment, the cover plate 1324 is made of the same or matching aluminum alloy material as the first arm body 1321, and its dimensions are precisely matched to the first cavity opening through precision machining. The cover plate 1324 is fastened to the first cavity opening by bolts, clips, or adhesive, thereby providing further protection for the receiving cavity 1321Q. The cover plate 1324, covering the first cavity opening, provides an additional protective barrier for the locking assembly 1323 inside the receiving cavity 1321Q. During daily use, especially in complex environments such as outdoors, it can prevent debris from entering the receiving cavity 1321Q to a certain extent, avoiding interference with precision components such as the locking pawl 13231 and the return torsion spring, thereby reducing wear and tear and failure rate of components and extending the service life of the locking assembly 1323. Furthermore, the cover plate 1324 makes the appearance of the first arm body 1321 more complete and aesthetically pleasing. It fills the gap in the first cavity opening, making the surface of the first arm body 1321 smoother and more seamless, without appearing abrupt due to the presence of the cavity opening. This not only enhances the overall visual effect of the product but also highlights the precision of the product's design and manufacturing process, strengthens the product's market competitiveness, and meets users' pursuit of product appearance quality.

[0166] As an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 8 The surface of the pressing part 13231B has a textured structure; and / or,

[0167] Reference Figure 10 An angle is formed between the pressing part 13231B and the locking pawl 13231, with the angle ranging from 90° to 150°.

[0168] In this embodiment, optionally, the surface of the pressing part 13231B is textured. The shape of the texture can be horizontal lines, vertical lines, diamond patterns, or wavy patterns, etc., formed on the surface of the pressing part 13231B through specific mold pressing or laser etching processes. The depth and width of the texture are carefully designed to ensure sufficient friction without causing discomfort to the user's fingers. During user operation, especially when shooting outdoors, situations such as sweaty hands or humid environments may occur. In such cases, a smooth pressing part 13231B can easily cause fingers to slip, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of operation. The presence of texture can effectively solve this problem, allowing the user to press the pressing part 13231B more stably, ensuring that each operation accurately drives the locking pawl 13231 to rotate, achieving fast and precise unlocking and locking, and improving the operational reliability of the product in complex usage environments.

[0169] Optionally, an angle is formed between the pressing part 13231B and the locking pawl 13231, with the angle ranging from 90° to 150°. During the manufacturing process, the angle is ensured to be within the specified range through an integrated molding process or a precise welding process for the locking pawl 13231 and the pressing part 13231B. The 90°–150° angle between the pressing part 13231B and the locking pawl 13231 conforms to ergonomic principles. When the user presses the pressing part 13231B, this angle allows the fingers to be in a natural and comfortable position for applying force, reducing hand muscle fatigue. Compared to a design where the pressing part 13231B and the locking pawl 13231 are on the same straight line, this angled design allows the user to drive the locking pawl 13231 to rotate with less force. For example, when it is necessary to frequently adjust the length of the telescopic components of photographic equipment, users can complete the operation more easily, reducing the difficulty of operation and physical exertion, and further improving the user experience.

[0170] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The telescopic arm 132 is provided with a third expansion interface 23K for connecting external accessories; and / or,

The interface type can include standard 1 / 4-inch threaded holes, 3 / 8-inch threaded holes, and cold shoe interfaces, etc. Among them, the 1 / 4-inch threaded holes are used to connect accessories with screw fixing structures, such as small fill light brackets and microphone arms; the cold shoe interfaces can quickly install accessories such as external flashes and portable monitors. The various types of designs of the third expansion interface 23K enable the chest support assembly 130 to connect to a wide variety of photography accessories, greatly expanding the functionality of the photography shoulder carrier 100. Users can quickly install corresponding accessories according to different shooting scenarios, such as indoor still life shooting and outdoor portrait tracking, to improve the shooting effect, making the photography shoulder carrier 100 suitable for more professional and non-professional shooting scenarios, enhancing the versatility and practicality of the equipment.

[0173] The chest support surface 133M can be equipped with a third support pad. This third support pad can have various structural designs; for example, it can be constructed using a multi-layered composite material. The innermost layer is made of highly elastic EVA material, providing basic support; the middle layer is breathable gel with a unique honeycomb structure that quickly dissipates heat and moisture, keeping the chest dry; the outer layer is covered with skin-friendly cotton mesh fabric with an antibacterial treatment to prevent bacterial growth over prolonged use. The third support pad is curved to match the ergonomic curve of the chest support surface 133M, ensuring a snug fit. Other structural designs are possible besides this example, and this embodiment does not limit the specific design. The third support pad is detachably connected to the chest support surface 133M, for example, via Velcro, facilitating removal, cleaning, or replacement with different types of support pads to meet the individual needs of different users.
