[0030] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4As an embodiment of this utility model, a gimbal with a mobile phone clamp is provided, including a gimbal assembly 1 and a mobile phone clamp assembly 2. The gimbal assembly 1 includes a main body 11 and a support base 12. The support base 12 is provided with a mounting stud 13 for connecting and fixing a camera. The mobile phone clamp assembly 2 is located on one side of the support base 12 and includes a rotating end 21 and a movable end 22. The rotating end 21 is connected to one side of the support base 12, and the movable end 22 can move away from or closer to the rotating end 21 to clamp and fix the mobile phone. The movable end 22 can fit against the support base 12 to expose the mounting stud 13. The movable end 22 can rotate to be lower than the support base 12 to facilitate the mounting of the camera on the mounting stud 13 and the mounting of the mobile phone on the mobile phone clamp assembly 2.
[0032] When the gimbal is used only for camera mounting, the movable end 22 can be rotated to fit against the support base 12, exposing the mounting stud 13, which can be used to connect and secure the camera. When the gimbal is used only for mobile phone mounting, the movable end 22 can be rotated away from the support base 12, allowing the mobile phone to be mounted on the mobile phone clamp assembly 2. When the gimbal needs to mount both a camera and a mobile phone, the movable end 22 can be rotated below the support base 12, at which point the mobile phone clamp assembly 2 and the support base 12 are separated and do not interfere with each other. The camera can then be mounted on the mounting stud 13, and the mobile phone on the mobile phone clamp assembly 2, facilitating dual-camera shooting.
[0033] Specifically, the phone clamp assembly 2 includes a support frame 23, with one end forming a rotating end 21 and the other end forming a movable end 22. The support frame 23 supports the phone and has a clearance groove 231 for the mounting stud 13 to pass through. The phone clamp assembly 2 also includes a connecting shaft 24, a connecting rod 25, a first clamping arm 26, and a second clamping arm 27. The rotating end 21 is rotatably connected to the support base 12 via the connecting shaft 24, and the movable end 22 is slidably connected to the support frame 23 via the connecting rod 25. The first clamping arm 26 is located at the position of the connecting shaft 24, and the second clamping arm 27 is located at the position of the rotating end 21. The phone is clamped between the first clamping arm 26 and the second clamping arm 27. A spring is provided inside the support frame 23. The spring abuts against the connecting rod 25 and provides clamping force between the first clamping arm 26 and the second clamping arm 27, facilitating the clamping of phones of different sizes between the first clamping arm 26 and the second clamping arm 27.
[0034] In other embodiments, the connecting rod 25 structure can be omitted. In this case, the movable end 22 is directly connected to the support frame 23 through the spring. Due to the extension and contraction of the spring, the distance between the first clamping arm 26 and the second clamping arm 27 can also be adjusted.
[0035] Furthermore, the first clamping arm 26 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 24, and the second clamping arm 27 is rotatably connected to the rotating end 21. The rotatable configuration of the first clamping arm 26 and the second clamping arm 27 allows for both rotational storage to save space and rotation to grip the mobile phone.
[0036] Furthermore, the gimbal assembly 1 also includes a knob 14, and the support base 12 has a mounting position. The knob 14 is installed in the mounting position, and the knob 14 drives the mounting stud 13 to rotate synchronously.
[0037] Specifically, the support base 12 has a support plane 121 and a mounting slot 122. The mounting slot 122 is a through slot on one side of the support base 12. The knob 14 is installed into the mounting slot 122 and rotatably connected to it. The support plane 121 has a through hole 123. The mounting stud 13 passes through the through hole 123 and is fixedly connected to the knob 14. In this embodiment, a insertion hole is first opened at the center of the knob 14. When the knob 14 is installed into the mounting slot 122, the insertion hole on the knob 14 aligns with the through hole 123 on the support base 12. After the knob 14 is installed in place, the mounting stud 13 is inserted through the through hole 123 into the insertion hole of the knob 14. At this time, the mounting stud 13 and the insertion hole are interference-fitted, thus achieving a fixed connection between the mounting stud 13 and the knob 14. The knob 14 drives the mounting stud 13 to rotate synchronously, which can screw the mounting stud 13 into the camera's threaded hole. At this time, simply align the camera's threaded hole with the mounting stud 13, and turn the knob 14 to screw the mounting stud 13 into the camera's threaded hole, thus achieving fixed installation of the camera.
[0038] In other embodiments, the mounting stud 13 and the knob 14 can be integrally formed. In this case, a clearance member can be provided on the support plane 121, and the installation of the knob 14 can be facilitated by opening the clearance member.
[0039] In other embodiments, the mounting slot 122 can be omitted. In this case, the mounting stud 13 and the knob 14 can be integrally formed. The support plane 121 of the support base 12 is provided with a through hole 123, which is a threaded hole. The knob 14 is installed from the bottom of the support base 12. During installation, the mounting stud 13 is aligned with the threaded hole and screwed until the mounting stud 13 passes through the threaded hole. At this time, the mounting stud 13 is installed in place.
[0040] Furthermore, the main body 11 includes a gimbal base 111 and a universal ball joint 112. The gimbal base 111 is provided with a universal ball groove 113, and a support seat 12 is provided on one side of the universal ball joint 112. The universal ball joint 112 is embedded in the universal ball groove 113.
[0041] Specifically, the gimbal base 111 has a universal ball groove 113, and the universal ball head 112 is embedded in and rotatably connected to the universal ball groove 113. A threaded through hole 123 is provided on the side of the gimbal base 111, connecting to the universal ball groove 113. A locking member 15 is connected to the threaded through hole 123. One end of the locking member 15 can be screwed into the universal ball groove 113 through the threaded hole and abuts against the universal ball head 112, locking the universal ball head 112 in place and preventing it from rotating. The locking member 15 has a rotary knob structure, and the radius of the grip is set relatively large for easy hand gripping and screwing. The universal ball joint 112 on the gimbal base 111 can be rotated and locked. After locking the locking piece 15, the universal ball joint 112 can be fixed. Loosening the locking piece 15 allows the universal ball joint 112 to be rotated, making it easy to flip and adjust the mounting stud 13 and the mobile phone clamp assembly 2 to any angle and then lock them in place to meet shooting adjustment needs.
[0042] In other embodiments, the positions of the universal ball joint 112 and the universal ball groove 113 can be interchanged. That is, the universal ball joint 112 is provided on the top of the gimbal base 111, and the universal ball groove 113 is provided on one side of the support base 12. In this case, the locking member 15 also passes through the side wall of the universal ball groove 113 and abuts against the universal ball joint 112 to lock it.
[0043] In other embodiments, the locking member 15 can also change the locking method. For example, the universal ball groove 113 is configured as an elastic structure, and the locking member 15 directly abuts against the universal ball groove 113, causing the universal ball groove 113 to undergo a slight elastic deformation. After the universal ball groove 113 undergoes elastic deformation, its volume decreases and it abuts tightly against the universal ball head 112. At this time, the universal ball head 112 is locked and fixed and cannot rotate within the universal ball groove 113.
[0044] Furthermore, the movable end 22 is also equipped with a cold shoe opening 221 for connecting to external accessories, allowing for the connection of various accessories. The support base 12 may also be equipped with a level, which is used to determine whether the support base 12 has been adjusted to a level state.
[0045] The gimbal with phone clip is used as follows in this embodiment:
[0046] When the gimbal is only used for camera mounting, the first clamping arm 26 and the second clamping arm 27 of the phone clamp assembly 2 are rotated and stored, and the movable end 22 is rotated and attached to the support base 12. At this time, the mounting stud 13 is exposed, and the mounting stud 13 can be used to connect and fix the camera.
[0047] When the gimbal is only for phone mounting, rotate the movable end 22 away from the support base 12. The rotation angle can be arbitrary and selected according to the actual situation. Then rotate out the first clamping arm 26 and the second clamping arm 27 of the phone clamp assembly 2. At this time, the phone can be mounted on the phone clamp assembly 2.
[0048] When the gimbal needs to mount both a camera and a mobile phone, rotate the movable end 22 away from the support base 12. The rotation angle should be greater than 180°. The movable end 22 should be rotated below the support base 12. At this point, the mobile phone clamp assembly 2 and the support base 12 are separated and do not interfere with each other. The camera can then be mounted on the mounting stud 13. Rotate the first clamping arm 26 and the second clamping arm 27 of the mobile phone clamp assembly 2 outwards, and mount the mobile phone onto the mobile phone clamp assembly 2 for convenient dual-camera shooting.
[0049] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
