[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As an embodiment of this utility model, a photographic support includes a main rod 1, a connecting sleeve assembly 3, a support leg assembly 4, and a hanging clip assembly 5. One end of the main rod 1 is provided with a gimbal 2. The connecting sleeve assembly 3 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the main rod 1. The support leg assembly 4 includes a main support leg 41 and a secondary support leg 42, one end of which is hinged to the connecting sleeve assembly 3. The other ends of the main support leg 41 and the secondary support leg 42 are respectively close to or far from each other, allowing the support leg assembly 4 to switch between a retracted position and an extended position. The hanging clip assembly 5 is disposed on the main support leg 41, which has a connecting groove 411. One end of the hanging clip assembly 5 is connected to one side of the connecting groove 411. The outer wall of the hanging clip assembly 5 has a connecting part 52, and a hanging rope is connected to the connecting part 52. Pulling the hanging rope puts the hanging clip assembly 5 into a hanging state. The hanging state refers to... Figure 1 .
[0037] When the clip assembly 5 needs to be switched to the clip position, simply pull the hanging rope. The rope will move one end of the clip assembly 5 from the connecting slot 411, causing the clip assembly 5 to move to the outside 413 of the main support leg 41 and form a hooking slot 54 with the main support leg 41. At this time, the clip assembly 5 can be attached to a waist belt or backpack strap for convenient placement of the photography bracket. The hanging rope allows for quick and easy switching of the clip assembly 5 to the clip position, making it simple and convenient for users.
[0038] Specifically, the main rod 1 is cylindrical, and the support leg assembly 4 includes one main support leg 41 and two secondary support legs 42. The connecting sleeve assembly 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the main rod 1 and slidably connected to the main rod 1 in a damped sliding manner. The main rod 1 has a stop near the mounting head 2 and a limiting protrusion near the bottom. The connecting sleeve assembly 3 slides in the area between the stop and the limiting protrusion. The outer periphery of the connecting sleeve assembly 3 has a hinge groove, and one end of the main support leg 41 and the secondary support legs 42 are provided with connecting ears, which are rotatably connected to the hinge groove. The main support leg 41 and the two secondary support legs 42 are arc-shaped plates. The three arc-shaped support legs can be attached to the surface of the main rod 1 to completely wrap the main rod 1. The three support legs can improve the stability of the camera bracket when placed, which is beneficial for shooting. Moreover, when the three arc-shaped support legs are folded up, the support legs are attached to the surface of the main rod 1, which can improve the aesthetics. The gimbal 2 includes a universal ball joint 21, a universal ball head 22, and a support platform 23. The universal ball joint 21 is fixed to the end of the main body 1. The universal ball head 22 is embedded in the universal ball joint 21, and the other end of the universal ball head 22 is provided with the support platform 23, which is equipped with a connecting stud. A camera or other photographic accessories can be directly connected to the connecting stud and fixed to the support platform 23. A locking member 24 is provided on one side of the universal ball joint 21, which can lock or unlock the universal ball head 22.
[0039] The main rod 1 can be a square column or other polygonal rod, and can be a fixed-length structure or a telescopic rod whose length can be adjusted by stretching; there are no restrictions here. For ease of explanation of the installation position of the hanging clamp assembly 5, the support leg on which the hanging clamp assembly 5 is installed is named the main support leg 41.
[0040] Furthermore, the hanging clamp assembly 5 includes a main body 51, one end of which is a connecting end 511 and the other end is a free end 512. The connecting end 511 is slidably connected to one side of the connecting through groove 411. A limiting component 53 is provided between one side of the connecting through groove 411 and the connecting end 511. The limiting component 53 is used to fix the hanging clamp assembly 5 in a hanging state, so that a hanging groove 54 is formed between the main body 51 and the main support leg 41.
[0041] Specifically, refer to Figures 4 to 7The limiting component 53 includes a limiting groove 531, a limiting block 532, and an elastic fixing member 533. The connecting end 511 is provided with a limiting block 532, and the side wall of the connecting through groove 411 is provided with a limiting groove 531. The limiting block 532 is embedded in the limiting groove 531 and slidably connected to the limiting groove 531. The elastic fixing member 533 abuts against the connecting end 511 to fix the hanging clamp component 5 in a hanging state. In this embodiment, the elastic fixing member 533 includes a glass bead 5331. The glass bead 5331 is provided on the side wall of the connecting end 511, and the side wall of the connecting through groove 411 is provided with a fixing hole 414. The glass bead 5331 can be embedded into the fixing hole 414. Pulling the hanging rope moves the main body 51. At this time, the limiting block 532 slides along the limiting groove 531. When the glass bead 5331 on the connecting end 511 engages with the fixing hole 414, the main body 51 moves into position, and the glass bead 5331 engages with the fixing hole 414 to fix the hanging clip assembly 5 in the hanging state. At this time, a hanging groove 54 is formed between the main body 51 and the main support leg 41 for easy hanging. The side wall of the connecting groove 411 has two sets of fixing holes 414. One set of fixing holes 414 is for fixing the glass bead 5331 to fix the hanging clip assembly 5 in the hanging state, and the other set of fixing holes 414 is for fixing the glass bead 5331 to fix the hanging clip assembly 5 in the retracted state. When the camera bracket is in the selfie stick state, the support leg assembly 4 is in the retracted position. At this time, the hanging clip assembly 5 can be retracted into the connecting groove 411 for easy hand gripping of the support leg assembly 4.
[0042] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 In other embodiments, the elastic fastener 533 includes a fixing block 5332 and a spring 5333. A mounting cavity 415 is provided on one side of the connecting groove 411. The spring 5333 and the fixing block 5332 are located within the mounting cavity 415. The spring 5333 pushes the fixing block 5332 to abut against the limiting block 532. Pulling the hanging rope moves the main body 51. At this time, the limiting block 532 slides along the limiting groove 531. When the main body 51 is in position, the spring 5333 pushes the fixing block 5332 to abut against the limiting block 532 to fix the hanging clamp assembly 5 in the hanging state. At this time, a hanging groove 54 is formed between the main body 51 and the main support leg 41 for easy hanging. The fixing block 5332 is also provided with a limiting groove, which is used to fix the limiting block 532 to fix the hanging clamp assembly 5 in the stored state. When the camera stand is in selfie stick mode, the support leg assembly 4 is in the retracted position. At this time, the hanging clip assembly 5 can be stored in the connecting slot 411, making it convenient for the hand to grip the support leg assembly 4. (See reference...) Figure 2 .
[0043] Furthermore, one end of the limiting groove 531 is provided with an opening 5311, and the opening 5311 faces the inner side 412 of the main support leg 41. A sealing block 416 is also fixed on the main support leg 41, and the sealing block 416 seals the opening 5311.
[0044] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The limiting groove 531 is a U-shaped groove with an opening 5311 at one end, located inside the support leg 412. When installing the main body 51, the connecting end 511 of the main body 51 is inserted through the opening 5311. During installation, ensure that the limiting block 532 is installed into the limiting groove 531. After the connecting end 511 of the main body 51 is installed, the sealing block 416 is installed. The sealing block 416 is fixed to the inside of the support leg 412 by screws, sealing the opening 5311 and limiting the limiting block 532 to slide within the limiting groove 531. In this embodiment, the limiting block 532 is a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft slides and is rotatably connected to the limiting groove 531. The connecting slot 411 connects the inside 412 and the outside 413 of the main support leg 41. After the rotating shaft rotates, the free end 512 can pass through the connecting slot 411, facilitating the switching of the hanging clamp assembly 5 to the hook state.
[0045] To enable the main body 51 to quickly switch from a hook state to a clip state or a storage state, a first limiting wall 417 is provided on the side wall of the connecting groove 411, and a first abutting wall 5111 is provided on the connecting end 511. The first abutting wall 5111 can abut against the first limiting wall 417 to limit the rotation angle of the main body 51. This facilitates the precise embedding of the glass beads 5331 on the main body 51 into the fixing holes 414, thereby fixing the main body 51 to the clip state or the storage state.
[0046] To further enhance the stability during mounting, the clip assembly 5 also includes a mounting protrusion 55, which is positioned near the free end 512 of the main body 51. The mounting protrusion 55 also functions as a hook, allowing the entire camera bracket to be mounted on a door panel, tabletop, or glass wall panel, facilitating overhead shooting support. The overhead shooting support configuration can be referenced... Figure 3 and Figure 4 .
[0047] Furthermore, the connecting part 52 is provided with a hook hole 521, and the hanging rope is fixed in the hook hole 521. In this embodiment, a connector protrudes from the connecting part 52, and the connector has a hook hole 521, so the hanging rope can be directly fixed in the hook hole 521. In other embodiments, a hole can be directly made in the connecting part 52, and the opening position forms the hook hole 521, so the hanging rope can be directly fixed in the hook hole 521.
[0048] In this embodiment, the camera bracket is equipped with a clip assembly 5, which has the following three states:
[0049] In the hanging state, a hanging groove 54 is formed between the outer wall of the main body 51 and the outer wall of the main support leg 41, which makes it easy to hang on a belt or backpack strap, and facilitates the placement of the photography bracket.
[0050] In the hooked state, the other end of the main support leg 41 and the other end of the support leg 42 are separated from each other, so that the support leg assembly 4 is in the unfolded position. The rotating end rotates so that the main body 51 and the main support leg 41 are set at an angle. The hanging clip assembly 5, together with the support leg assembly 4, can hang the entire photography bracket on the host object, which is convenient for overhead shooting support.
[0051] In the stowed state, when the camera bracket needs to be used as a selfie stick, the support leg assembly 4 is in the stowed position, and the hanging clip assembly 5 can be stored in the connecting slot 411, making it convenient for the hand to grip the support leg assembly 4 for taking selfies.
[0052] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the clip assembly 5 is provided with a connecting part 52, and a hanging rope is connected to the connecting part 52. By using the hanging rope, the clip assembly 5 can be quickly pulled to switch to the clip state, which is simple to operate and convenient for users.
