Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic light gimbals, and in particular to a handle gimbal adapted to photographic lights. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of photography and videography technology, photography lights, as important auxiliary equipment, directly affect the shooting effect in terms of their stability and convenience. Traditional photography lights are usually installed using fixed brackets or simple pan-tilt heads. However, in actual use, users often need to frequently adjust the light angle or quickly disassemble and assemble the equipment. Existing pan-tilt head structures often have problems such as cumbersome operation, insecure locking, or poor compatibility.

[0003] Currently, most quick-release structures on the market use flat quick-release plates and screw locking methods. Installation requires manual screw tightening, which is not only inefficient but also prone to loosening under vibration. While some quick-release systems employ V-groove designs to improve positioning accuracy, they cannot achieve rapid disassembly, making one-handed assembly and disassembly difficult and failing to meet the needs of rapid assembly and disassembly of photographic lights.

[0004] To address the above issues, we have proposed a new technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a gimbal handle adapted for photographic lights, and the technical solution adopted is as follows:

A gimbal is provided at the top of the arm, and a V-shaped quick-release plate is provided on the gimbal. The V-shaped quick-release plate includes a V-shaped receiving groove, in which a V-shaped quick-release plate is received. An elastic abutment is provided at the rear end of the V-shaped quick-release plate. The elastic abutment extends elastically in the normal state and abuts against the rear end face of the V-shaped quick-release plate to limit the V-shaped quick-release plate in the V-shaped receiving groove. A lever is provided on the gimbal, which is linked with the elastic abutment and can control the elastic abutment to retract elastically to release the limiting position.

[0031] This utility model provides a handle gimbal adapted for photographic lights, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device includes a handle 10 and a support arm 20 connected to the upper end of the handle 10. A gimbal 30 is provided at the top of the support arm 20, and a V-shaped quick-release seat is provided on the gimbal 30. The V-shaped quick-release seat includes a V-shaped receiving groove 40, in which a V-shaped quick-release plate 50 is received. An elastic abutment is provided at the rear end of the V-shaped quick-release seat. The elastic abutment extends elastically in the normal state and abuts against the rear end face of the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 to limit the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 within the V-shaped receiving groove 40. A lever 60 is provided on the gimbal 30. The lever 60 is linked with the elastic abutment and can control the elastic abutment to retract elastically to release the limitation.

[0032] In use, the lever 60 can be pulled to press down the elastic abutment, and then the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 can be installed into the V-shaped receiving groove 40. Then, the lever 60 can be released, and the elastic abutment returns to its original position and abuts against the rear end face of the V-shaped quick-release plate 50, limiting the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 in the V-shaped receiving groove 40. Then, the camera light can be installed on the V-shaped quick-release plate 50.

[0033] This invention utilizes the cooperation between the V-shaped quick-release groove and the V-shaped quick-release plate 50, combined with the automatic elastic locking function of the elastic abutment. Users can release the elastic locking of the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 by simply turning the lever 60 with one hand, enabling quick installation or removal of the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 without the need for additional tools or cumbersome screw fixing. This significantly improves work efficiency and ensures stability and reliability. During operation, the handle 10 can be held in place. The elastic abutment is normally pressed against the rear end of the quick-release plate, forming a stable mechanical lock, effectively preventing the photography light from accidentally loosening under vibration or tilting conditions. The V-shaped quick-release plate 50 is compatible with various photography lights or battery modules, offering strong compatibility and wide applicability to meet the needs of different shooting scenarios.

[0034] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model application, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 is provided with a mounting slot 51 and / or mounting hole for mounting with a photographic lighting device. Alternatively, the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 can be provided with quick-release screws for quick connection with the photographic lighting device. Different quick-connect parts are provided on the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 to adapt to different quick-connect devices.

[0035] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model application, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a limiting post 41 is provided in the V-shaped receiving groove 40, and a limiting through hole 52 is provided on the V-shaped quick-release plate 50, which allows the limiting post 41 to extend into it and cooperate with the limiting post 41, providing precise guidance and limiting to ensure that the V-shaped quick-release plate 50 is installed in place.

[0036] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the elastic clamping part includes a spring 70 disposed on the gimbal 30 at the rear end of the V-shaped quick-release base. The spring 70 is vertically arranged, and an abutment plate 80 is provided at the top of the spring 70. The lever plate 60 is linked with the spring 70. In the normal state, the spring 70 is elastically extended, supporting the abutment plate 80 to press against the rear end of the quick-release plate.

[0037] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model application, such as Figure 5 As shown, a mounting base is provided on the top of the spring 70, and the abutment plate 80 is disposed on the mounting base; the lever plate 60 is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the lever plate 60 is disposed on the side away from the V-shaped quick-release plate 50.

[0038] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model application, such as Figure 5As shown, a cover plate 90 is provided at the rear end of the V-shaped quick-release seat, the spring 70 and the mounting seat are covered inside the cover plate 90, the abutment plate 80 is elastically connected to the top of the cover plate 90, and the lever plate 60 extends to the outside of the cover plate 90.
