Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment, and in particular to a photographic equipment mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] When mounting photographic equipment during photography activities, a camera equipment mounting bracket is usually used. A camera equipment mounting bracket is an auxiliary structure used to fix photographic equipment such as cameras and camcorders onto tripods, stabilizers, or support devices, and can support switching between different shooting angles such as horizontal and vertical shooting.

[0003] One related technology proposes an L-shaped bracket. When switching from horizontal to vertical shooting, the camera needs to be detached from the horizontal arm of the L-shaped bracket or from a tripod or other support device. Then, the horizontal arm of the L-shaped bracket is connected to the support device, and the camera is then connected to the vertical arm by screws or other means, thereby enabling the camera to switch to vertical shooting mode.

[0004] However, the L-shaped bracket proposed in the relevant technology requires frequent disassembly and assembly of the photography equipment when switching between horizontal and vertical shooting, resulting in poor operational convenience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a mounting bracket for photographic equipment, which aims to improve the ease of operation when switching between horizontal and vertical shooting.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first support arm includes a connecting arm and a connecting plate, one end of the connecting arm being connected to the second support arm and the other end being connected to the connecting plate;

[0008] The first mounting structure and / or the second mounting structure are disposed on the connecting plate.

[0009] In some embodiments, both the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure are disposed on the connecting plate, wherein:

[0010] The connecting plate includes a main plane and a secondary plane opposite to each other, and a side plane surrounding the main plane and the secondary plane. The first mounting structure is disposed on the main plane, and the second mounting structure is disposed on the secondary plane.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first mounting structure includes two limiting blocks protruding from the main plane, the two limiting blocks being spaced apart, and each limiting block having a flange at one end away from the main plane. A slide is formed between the two flanges and the main plane to accommodate photographic equipment, and the photographic equipment can slide along the slide towards or away from the second support arm.

[0012] In some embodiments, the photographic equipment mounting bracket further includes a locking mechanism disposed on the connecting plate, wherein at least one of the two limiting blocks is movably connected to the connecting plate, and the locking mechanism is used to drive the limiting block movably connected to the connecting plate to move, so that the flange of the limiting block moves toward or away from the main plane.

[0013] In some embodiments, a local area of ​​the sub-plane is thinned to form an avoidance notch, and the connecting plate has a through hole that passes through the main plane and the sub-plane; the two limiting blocks include a first limiting block that is movably connected to the connecting plate and a second limiting block that is fixedly connected to the connecting plate; the locking mechanism includes a handle and a screw, the handle is accommodated in the avoidance notch, one end of the screw is connected to the handle, and the other end of the screw passes through the through hole to be threadedly connected to the first limiting block.

[0014] In some embodiments, the connecting arm is detachably connected to the connecting plate, and / or the connecting arm is integrally formed with the second support arm.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second support arm is configured as a long plate, and the second support arm includes opposing first and second surfaces and sidewalls surrounding the first and second surfaces; the second mounting structure includes:

[0016] An Aka plate, protruding outward along the side wall of the second arm; and / or

[0017] Quick-connect holes are provided on the first surface and / or the second surface.

[0018] In some embodiments, the photographic equipment mounting bracket further includes:

[0019] At least one hub, detachably mounted on the first arm and / or the second arm, the hub being used to mount photographic equipment cables.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0032] This photographic equipment mounting bracket can be used to connect photographic equipment such as cameras and camcorders to external support devices such as tripods and stabilizers. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the photographic equipment mounting bracket of this application includes a first arm 1 and a second arm 2 connected to each other. The first arm 1 and the second arm 2 are arranged at an angle. At least one of the first arm 1 and the second arm 2 is provided with a first mounting structure 3 for mounting photographic equipment. Both the first arm 1 and the second arm 2 are provided with a second mounting structure 4 for connecting with an external support device.

[0033] In this embodiment, the photographic equipment mounting bracket of this application allows for quick switching between horizontal and vertical shooting modes when used in photographic activities. Horizontal shooting refers to shooting with the camera placed horizontally, while vertical shooting refers to shooting with the camera placed vertically. Specifically, taking the initial state as horizontal shooting as an example, the working principle of the photographic equipment mounting bracket of this application in switching between horizontal and vertical shooting modes is explained as follows:

[0034] The first support arm 1 is provided with a first mounting structure 3, and the included angle between the first support arm 1 and the second support arm 2 is preferably 90°.

[0035] In the initial state, the photographic device is mounted on the first arm 1 via the first mounting structure 3. At this time, the photographic equipment mounting bracket is mounted on an external support device such as a tripod or stabilizer via the second mounting structure 4, which is also located on the first arm 1, and the camera is in a horizontal position. For example, the bottom of the camera (typically a 1 / 4-inch screw hole) is connected to the first mounting structure 3 of the first arm 1 (such as a screw, quick-release plate, or other locking mechanism), and the first arm 1 is connected via the second mounting structure 4 (such as a screw, quick-release plate, or other locking mechanism). At this time, the second arm 2 is in a vertical position.

[0036] When it is necessary to switch to vertical shooting mode, there is no need to remove the photographic equipment from the first mounting structure 3. Simply disconnect the second mounting structure 4 of the first arm 1 from the external support device, and then rotate the photographic equipment mounting bracket of this application by 90° to connect the second mounting structure 4 of the second arm 2 to the external support device. At this time, the photographic equipment mounted on the first mounting structure 3 of the first arm 1 is in a vertical position. This completes the quick conversion of the photographic equipment from horizontal to vertical shooting mode without disassembling or assembling the photographic equipment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second arm 2, like the first arm 1, is provided with a first mounting structure 3. This second first mounting structure 3 can be used to mount non-camera photographic equipment, improving shooting quality or convenience. For example:

[0038] External flash: Install a flash to supplement light, suitable for indoor or nighttime shooting.

[0039] Microphone: Fixed directional microphone to improve audio quality for video recording.

[0040] Monitor: Install an external display for real-time viewing of the composition or playback.

[0041] Phone clip: Secures a smartphone as an auxiliary screen, remote control, or second-person recording device.

[0042] Alternatively, another first mounting structure 3 can be used to mount another camera, enabling simultaneous horizontal and vertical shooting to meet more photographic needs.

[0043] In summary, this application achieves the beneficial effect of quick and convenient switching between horizontal and vertical shooting by setting the photographic equipment mounting bracket with the above-mentioned structure. Specifically, switching from horizontal to vertical shooting only requires loosening the connection between the second mounting structure 4 of the first arm 1 and the external support device, rotating the bracket 90°, and then connecting the tripod with the second mounting structure 4 of the second arm 2. The whole process does not require disassembling the camera, and the switching speed is fast. Compared with the cumbersome operation of traditional L-shaped brackets that require frequent disassembly and assembly of the camera, the photographic equipment mounting bracket of this application significantly improves the operating efficiency and has good operation convenience.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first support arm 1 proposed in this application includes a connecting arm 101 and a connecting plate 102, with one end of the connecting arm 101 connected to the second support arm 2 and the other end connected to the connecting plate 102;

[0045] The first mounting structure 3 and / or the second mounting structure 4 are disposed on the connecting plate 102.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first support arm 1 includes a connecting arm 101 and a connecting plate 102. One end of the connecting arm 101 is connected to the second support arm 2, and the other end is connected to the connecting plate 102. The connecting arm 101 plays a role in structural support and extension.

[0047] The connecting plate 102 serves as the end platform of the first support arm 1, supporting the first mounting structure 3 (for fixing the camera) and / or the second mounting structure 4 (for connecting external support devices such as tripods). For example, the connecting plate 102 can be an Arca-standard quick-release plate or quick-release mount.

[0048] In some embodiments, the following configurations are available: the first mounting structure 3 and the second mounting structure 4 are both located on the connecting plate 102; the first mounting structure 3 is located on the connecting plate 102 and the second mounting structure 4 is located on the connecting arm 101; or the first mounting structure 3 is located on the connecting arm 101 and the second mounting structure 4 is located on the connecting plate 102.

[0049] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As a preferred embodiment of the foregoing embodiments, in some embodiments, both the first mounting structure 3 and the second mounting structure 4 proposed in this application are disposed on the connecting plate 102, wherein:

[0050] The connecting plate 102 includes a main plane 1021 and a secondary plane 1022, and a side plane 1023 surrounding the main plane 1021 and the secondary plane 1022. The first mounting structure 3 is disposed on the main plane 1021, and the second mounting structure 4 is disposed on the secondary plane 1022.

[0051] Reference Figures 2 to 4In some embodiments, the first mounting structure 3 proposed in this application includes two limiting blocks 301 protruding from the main plane 1021. The two limiting blocks 301 are spaced apart, and each limiting block 301 has a flange 3010 at one end away from the main plane 1021. A slide 300 for accommodating photographic equipment is formed between the two flanges 3010 and the main plane 1021. The photographic equipment can slide along the slide 300 toward or away from the second support arm 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first mounting structure 3 includes two limiting blocks 301, which are spaced apart on the main plane 1021. Each limiting block 301 has a flange 3010 at its top. The flanges 3010 of the two limiting blocks 301 and the main plane 1021 form a slide rail 300, within which photographic equipment can be installed. For example, the photographic equipment can be installed into the slide rail 300 via an expansion frame with an Arca interface, and the expansion frame can slide within the slide rail.

[0053] The second mounting structure 4 (subplane 1022), for example, is provided with 1 / 4-inch or 3 / 8-inch screw holes and quick-release plates for connecting tripods or stabilizers.

[0054] Two limiting blocks 301 are arranged parallel to each other, and the flanges 3010 of the two limiting blocks 301 extend towards each other. The limiting blocks 301 and the main plane 1021 form an "I"-shaped slide 300. The slide 300 allows photographic equipment or intermediate devices (such as quick-release plates or extension frames) to slide along the main plane 1021 in the direction of sliding towards or away from the second support arm 2, so that the photographic equipment can be adjusted to adjust its horizontal or vertical position relative to the first support arm 1.

[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the photographic equipment mounting bracket proposed in this application also includes a locking mechanism 5 disposed on the connecting plate 102. At least one of the two limiting blocks 301 is movably connected to the connecting plate 102. The locking mechanism 5 is used to drive the limiting block 301 movably connected to the connecting plate 102 to move, so that the stop edge 3010 of the limiting block 301 moves in a direction toward or away from the main plane 1021.

[0056] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 5 controls the photographic equipment or intermediate device with photographic equipment placed in the slide rail 300 to be in a relatively fixed state with the connecting plate 102 or in an active state that can slide in the slide rail 300 by driving the limiting block 301.

[0057] In the horizontal position, the slide 300 is initially in the released state: the stop edge 3010 of the movable limit block 301 is located away from the main plane 1021, and the slide 300 has a wide space height, allowing photographic equipment (such as camera base plates or quick-release plates) to be inserted or slid out.

[0058] For example, the movable limiting block 301 is held in the "open" position by a spring or other elastic element, and the slide 300 is loosely opened, allowing the photographic equipment or the extension frame on which the photographic equipment is mounted to slide along the slide 300 toward or away from the second support arm 2, that is, to slide horizontally relative to the connecting plate 102, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the photographic equipment relative to the connecting plate 102. In the vertical position, the vertical position of the photographic equipment relative to the connecting plate 102 is adjusted.

[0059] The flanges 3010 of the two limiting blocks 301 restrict the vertical movement of the photographic equipment relative to the main plane 1021, and the slide 300 guides the photographic equipment to slide, that is, to slide along the main plane 1021 toward / away from the second arm 2.

[0060] When the photographic equipment is adjusted to the appropriate position, the user operates the locking mechanism 5 (exemplarily by rotating the knob, pressing the latch, or tightening the screw), driving the limit block 301, which is movably connected to the connecting plate 102, to move its stop edge 3010 toward the main plane 1021. The movement of the stop edge 3010 reduces the height of the slide rail 300 or increases the clamping force, firmly clamping the camera base plate or quick-release plate within the slide rail 300 to prevent slippage or detachment. To continue adjustment or loosen the equipment, simply operate the locking mechanism 5 to unlock it.

[0061] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the secondary plane 1022 proposed in this application is thinned in a local area to form an avoidance notch 1024, and the connecting plate 102 is provided with a through hole 1025 that passes through the main plane 1021 and the secondary plane 1022; the two limiting blocks 301 include a first limiting block 3011 that is movably connected to the connecting plate 102, and a second limiting block 3012 that is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 102; as one of the preferred embodiments of the aforementioned locking mechanism 5, the locking mechanism 5 proposed in this application includes a handle portion 51 and a screw portion 52, the handle portion 51 is accommodated in the avoidance notch 1024, one end of the screw portion 52 is connected to the handle portion 51, and the other end of the screw portion 52 passes through the through hole 1025 to be threadedly connected to the first limiting block 3011.

[0062] In this embodiment, the avoidance notch 1024 is a recessed notch formed by thinning a local area of ​​the secondary plane 1022 of the connecting plate 102. The secondary plane 1022 is provided with a second mounting structure 4. If the handle 51 protrudes directly from the secondary plane 1022, it will interfere with the fit between the secondary plane 1022 and the tripod head, affecting the connection stability or increasing the installation difficulty. Furthermore, it can reduce the overall thickness of the bracket, achieving a lightweight design.

[0063] The locking mechanism 5 includes a handle portion 51 and a screw portion 52. The handle portion 51 is accommodated in a clearance notch 1024 of the secondary plane 1022. For example, it can be a knob, wrench, or similar operating component, which facilitates user operation to control the rotation of the screw portion 52. One end of the screw portion 52 is connected to the handle portion 51, and the other end passes through the through hole 1025 to be threadedly connected to the first limit block 3011. The thread converts the rotational force into linear motion.

[0064] Slide 300 initial state (released state): The retaining flange 3010 of the first limiting block 3011 is located away from the main plane 1021, and the slide 300 has a large space height, allowing photographic equipment or an extension frame with photographic equipment installed to be inserted or slid out. The screw part 52 does not apply clamping force, and the first limiting block 3011 may be held in the open position by a spring or other elastic element, and the slide 300 opening is loose.

[0065] The user inserts the camera base plate into the slide rail 300 and slides it along the slide rail 300 between the first limiting block 3011 and the second limiting block 3012 to the desired position (towards / away from the second support arm 2). The second limiting block 3012 remains fixed to ensure stability on one side of the slide rail 300; the retaining flange 3010 restricts the vertical movement of the photographic equipment relative to the main plane 1021 and guides the horizontal sliding of the photographic equipment relative to the main plane 1021.

[0066] When the photographic equipment is adjusted to the correct position, the user rotates the handle 51, causing the screw 52 to rotate. The threaded connection between the screw 52 and the first limiting block 3011 converts the rotational motion into linear motion, causing the first limiting block 3011 to move towards the main plane 1021 in a direction perpendicular to the main plane 1021. The retaining flange 3010 of the first limiting block 3011 approaches the main plane 1021, reducing the spatial height of the slide 300, clamping the base plate of the photographic equipment or the quick-release plate of the extension frame of the photographic equipment, making it fit against the main plane 1021, preventing slippage or detachment.

[0067] In some embodiments, the second limiting block 3012 can also be set in the same way as the first limiting block 3011 and locked by another locking mechanism 5 for the photographic equipment. Its advantage is that locking on both sides is more stable than locking on one side. Those skilled in the art can design it according to actual needs.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the connecting arm 101 and the connecting plate 102 proposed in this application are detachably connected.

[0069] In some embodiments, the connecting arm 101 is integrated with the second support arm 2.

[0070] In this embodiment, the detachable connection design allows the connecting arm 101 and the connecting plate 102 to be separated or assembled through specific interfaces (such as screws, clips, quick-release plates). The design intent is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0071] Firstly, it improves the compatibility of photographic equipment: different photographic equipment (such as SLR, mirrorless, and action cameras) or quick-release plates (such as Arca-Swiss standard and Manfrotto standard) have different requirements for the size of the slide 300, the type of the first mounting structure 3, or the locking mechanism 5. The fixed connection plate 102 may not be compatible with all photographic equipment or the expansion frame for mounting photographic equipment.

[0072] Secondly, it is easy to maintain and replace, reducing maintenance costs.

[0073] Third, it facilitates storage and transportation, as the two can be disassembled and stored separately, reducing the storage space required.

[0074] Understandably, the connecting arm 101 and the second support arm 2 are integrated, meaning a portion of the first support arm 1 and the second support arm 2 are integrally molded. If the connection between the connecting arm 101 and the second support arm 2 were detachable or spliced, the rigidity of the bracket might be reduced due to loosening, wear, or deformation of the joints. This could lead to swaying or a shift in the center of gravity, especially when supporting heavy photographic equipment or multiple devices (such as simultaneous photography equipment and auxiliary photographic equipment like flash units). Integrated molding eliminates joints, forming a continuous L-shaped frame from a single material (such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber), enhancing overall rigidity and torsional resistance.

[0075] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second support arm 2 proposed in this application is arranged in the form of a long plate. The second support arm 2 includes opposing first surfaces 201 and second surfaces 202, and sidewalls surrounding the first surfaces 201 and second surfaces 202; the second mounting structure 4 includes:

[0076] The Aka plate 41 protrudes outward along the side wall of the second arm 2; and / or

[0077] Quick-connect hole 42 is provided on the first surface 201 and / or the second surface 202.

[0078] In this embodiment, the second arm 2 is in the shape of a long plate and has the following features:

[0079] First surface 201: One side plane of the long plate 1023.

[0080] Second surface 202: opposite plane 1023.

[0081] Sidewall: Enclosing the periphery of the first surface 201 and the second surface 202, forming the edge of the long plate.

[0082] The second mounting structure 4 installed on the second support arm 2 includes, but is not limited to:

[0083] Arca Plate 41: Protruding outward along the side wall of the second arm 2, conforming to the Arca-Swiss standard (common quick-release plate system), it can be inserted into the Arca clamp of the tripod or stabilizer to achieve quick locking.

[0084] Quick-connect hole 42: Located on the first surface 201 and / or the second surface 202, it may be a 1 / 4-inch or 3 / 8-inch screw hole, for screw connection of tripod head, or other quick-connect system (such as quick-release plate interface).

[0085] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the photographic equipment mounting bracket proposed in this application further includes:

[0086] At least one hub 6 is detachably mounted on the first arm 1 and / or the second arm 2, and the hub 6 is used to install photographic equipment cables.

[0087] In this embodiment, the hub 6 is a device for organizing, securing or managing photographic equipment cables. It may be a clamp, slot, winding structure or buckle component, and is designed to be detachably installed on the first arm 1 and / or the second arm 2.

[0088] The hub 6 is detachably mounted on the first arm 1 (connecting arm 101 or connecting plate 102) and / or the second arm 2 (first surface 201, second surface 202 or sidewall).

[0089] Possible connection methods:

[0090] Screw fixing: Hub 6 is connected to the support arm via a screw hole (e.g., 1 / 4 inch).

[0091] Clip-on / Quick-install: Hub 6 can be quickly attached to the support arm surface via a slot or magnetic attraction.

[0092] Hook and loop fastener / clamp: Hub 6 is secured by adjustable clamps or hook and loop fasteners to fit different arm shapes.

[0093] Photography equipment cables include, but are not limited to: camera data cables (such as USB and HDMI, used to transfer photos / videos), power cables (such as external batteries or adapters), audio cables (such as microphone cables), and control cables (such as shutter release cables and remote control cables).

[0094] Understandably, multiple hubs 6 are allowed to be distributed across the first arm 1 and / or the second arm 2, allowing for flexible management of multiple cables.

[0095] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the hub 6 proposed in this application includes at least a first hub 61 and a second hub 62. The first hub 61 has a first receiving groove 611 and a first opening 612 communicating with the first receiving groove 611. The first receiving groove 611 is used to receive a photographic equipment cable, and the first opening 612 is used to allow the photographic equipment cable to enter the first receiving groove 611.

The second opening 622 and the first opening 612 have the same or different orientations.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first receiving groove 611 of the first cable hub 61 may be provided in the form of a groove or a tube, for accommodating cables and providing fixation and protection for the cables. The first opening 612 communicates with the first receiving groove 611, and the cable enters the groove from the outside through the first opening 612.

[0097] The second hub 62 is located on the outer wall of the first hub 61 and may be a protruding structure, a parallel slot, or a nested design. A protruding structure is preferred. The second receiving slot 621 is used to receive another cable or different parts of the same cable, and its shape may be similar to or different from the shape of the first receiving slot 611. The second opening 622 communicates with the second receiving slot 621 to allow the cable to enter, and may have the same orientation as (e.g., a parallel opening) or different orientation than the first opening 612 (e.g., a vertical or reverse opening) to enrich the usage scenarios of the hub 6.
