A connecting block 9 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the adjustment frame 3 near the front end. A knob 10 is rotatably embedded on the rear surface of the adjustment frame 3 near the lower end. A rubber plate 11 is installed on the lower end of the outer surface of the knob 10.
[0027] Specifically, after fixing the fixing plate 8 to the lower end face of the camera device 1, the fixing plate 8 and the connecting plate 5 can be fitted together. After the damping shaft 7 passes through the connection between the fixing plate 8 and the connecting plate 5, the camera device 1 can rotate up and down on the upper end of the connecting plate 5, and the pitch angle of the up and down shaft can be adjusted. The damping shaft 7 can improve the rotation effect of the camera device 1. At the same time, after the base plate 4 is rotated and mounted on the lower end face of the connecting plate 5 with the rotating block 12, the camera device 1 can rotate and adjust on the upper end face of the base plate 4. A threaded rod 6 is provided in the connecting plate 5. After the rubber block 13 is attached, the rotating threaded rod 6 can drive the rubber block 13 to squeeze one side of the rotating block 12, which can fix the angle of the camera device 1 after rotation and prevent movement after rotation adjustment. After the adjustment frame 3 is movably embedded on one side of the outer surface of the camera device 1, a reading light 2 can be set on the upper end of the adjustment frame 3. At the same time, the reading light 2 can improve the position movement of the adjustment frame 3, which can better capture the camera device 1. The knob 10 and rubber plate 11 set on the rear end face of the adjustment frame 3 can fix the position of the adjustment frame 3 after the position movement.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 The fixing plate 8 is sleeved on both sides of the lower end of the outer surface of the damping shaft 7, and nuts are threaded on both sides of the outer surface of the damping shaft 7.
[0029] Specifically, after the lower two sides of the fixing plate 8 are fitted onto the outer surface of the damping device, the fixing plate 8 can be better rotated and connected to the connecting plate 5. After the nuts are threaded onto the outer surfaces of the damping shaft 7, the lower two sides of the fixing plate 8 can be locked by rotating the nuts, thereby fixing the angle of the camera device 1 after pitching and rotating.
[0030] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 A rotating block 12 is fixedly installed at the midpoint of the upper end face of the base plate 4, and a rotating groove 14 is opened at the midpoint of the lower end face of the connecting plate 5. The rotating block 12 is rotatably embedded in the rotating groove 14.
[0031] Specifically, after the rotating block 12 is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the base plate 4, the rotating block 12 can be embedded into the rotating groove 14 opened on the lower end surface of the connecting plate 5, so that the connecting plate 5 can be better rotated and adjusted 360 degrees on the upper end surface of the base plate 4, thereby improving the practicality of the camera equipment.

[0033] Specifically, after the rubber block 13 is movably embedded in the inner wall of one side of the rotating groove 14, the rubber block 13 and the threaded rod 6 can be rotatably connected. After rotating the threaded rod 6, the rotatably connected rubber block 13 can be driven to compress the rotating block 12 in the rotating groove 14, thereby locking and fixing the angle after rotation.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper end of the connecting block 9 is rotatably embedded in the reading light 2, and bolts and nuts are embedded at the rotatable connection between the connecting block 9 and the reading light 2.
[0035] Specifically, after the reading light 2 is rotatably installed on the upper end face of the connecting block 9, bolts and nuts can be used to fix the connection between the reading light 2 and the connecting block 9. At the same time, the rotatably installed reading light 2 can also be rotated and adjusted to different pitch angles, which can better improve the shooting effect of the camera device 1. In addition, the reading light 2 can be powered by the auxiliary power interface of the helicopter.
[0036] Reference Figure 4 The rubber plate 11 is movably embedded in the lower end of the inner wall of the rear side of the adjustment frame 3, and the rubber plate 11 is rotatably sleeved on the front end of the outer surface of the knob 10.
[0037] Specifically, after the rubber plate 11 is movably embedded in the lower end of the rear inner wall of the adjustment frame 3, the rubber plate 11 and the knob 10 can be rotatably connected. After rotating the knob 10, the rubber plate 11 can be driven to press against the rear end face of the camera device 1, thereby fixing the position of the adjustment frame 3.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The front end of the rubber plate 11 is attached to the rear end of the camera device 1, one side of the rubber block 13 is attached to one side of the outer surface of the rotating block 12, and the base plate 4 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame by bolts.
[0039] Specifically, by attaching the rubber plate 11 to the rear end face of the camera device 1, the position of the adjustment frame 3 after movement can be fixed, and the position of the reading light 2 can also be fixed. By attaching the outer surfaces of the rubber block 13 and the rotating block 12, the position of the camera device 1 after rotation and adjustment can be fixed, which can better enable the camera device 1 to take pictures and record. At the same time, the camera device can be fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame in the helicopter by bolts, so that the camera device can record the pilot's operation. The camera device 1 can also be powered by the helicopter's auxiliary power interface.
[0040] Working principle: During use, the pilot can use bolts and nuts to install and fix the camera equipment to the upper end of the mounting bracket inside the helicopter cabin. After installation, the pilot can rotate the camera device 1 to adjust the pitch angle. After adjustment, the pilot can use two Allen wrenches to rotate the nuts on the outer surface of the damping shaft 7 to fix the pitch angle of the camera device 1. At the same time, the pilot can also rotate the camera device 1 360 degrees. After adjusting the camera device 1 to a suitable angle, the pilot can rotate the threaded rod 6 to fix the rotated camera device 1. The pilot can also adjust the position and pitch angle of the reading light 2. After adjustment, the pilot can connect the camera device 1 and the reading light 2 to the helicopter's auxiliary power interface through wiring to power the camera device 1.
