[0030] Please see Figure 2 The action camera frame 20 described herein includes a first frame 207, a second frame 208, and a quick-release assembly 204. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 6 The first frame 207 has a locking groove 2042, and the quick-release assembly 204 is rotatably disposed on the second frame 208 so as to lock or release itself in the locking groove 2042. Specifically, the quick-release assembly 204 is connected to the second frame 208 via a pivot, and a spring is provided between the quick-release assembly 204 and the second frame 208, or a torsion spring is sleeved on the pivot. The user can press the end of the quick-release assembly 204 near the first frame 207, so that the locking end 2041 of the quick-release assembly 204 exits the locking groove 2042 to open the action camera frame 20 and place the action camera in it. After the positions of the aforementioned power button 202, shutter button 201, etc. are accurately aligned, the first frame 207 and the second frame 208 are engaged, so that the locking end 2041 of the quick-release assembly 204 locks into the locking groove 2042.

[0031] In some respects, please refer to Figure 4-5 This paper presents an auxiliary shooting structure 10 that conforms to the user's ergonomics, simulates the feel of a regular camera, and facilitates handheld shooting in daily life. This allows the action camera to free up the user's hands, making it easy to shoot from many different angles in daily life. Furthermore, when the user needs to hold the action camera, the auxiliary shooting structure 10 of this paper makes it easier for the user to hold the action camera.

[0032] The auxiliary shooting structure 10 described in this paper includes a handle 1 and a top plate 2. The handle 1 is connected to the side of the action camera frame 20 and has a grip 11. The top plate 2 is connected to the top of the action camera frame 20 and can trigger the action camera's function keys. Specifically, the ability to trigger the action camera's function keys can be either indirect or direct, allowing the action camera's function keys to perform their functions. For example, the top plate 2 can be used to trigger the touch button 201 on the action camera frame 20, thereby triggering the action camera's shutter button. If some action camera frames 20 have an air-blocking design at the action camera shutter button, the top plate 2 described in this paper can also directly trigger the action camera's shutter button. The ability to trigger the action camera's function keys described in this paper can include both the aforementioned indirect and direct methods.

[0033] In this paper, the user can place their palm on the grip 11 and rest their fingers on the top plate 2 to hold the action camera. When the user needs to take a picture, they can generally press the top plate 2 with their fingers to trigger the shutter button of the action camera and take a picture. With this configuration, the auxiliary shooting structure 10 in this paper can fit the user's palm, making it easier for the user to hold the action camera, thus meeting the user's further needs for using the action camera.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4-5 In this document, the top plate 2 includes a cold shoe mount 21 and an operating section 22. The cold shoe mount 21 is connected to the top of the action camera frame 20, and the operating section 22 includes an operating protrusion 221 capable of triggering the action camera's function keys. The cold shoe mount 21 is connected to the cold shoe groove 203 of the action camera frame 20, and the operating protrusion 221 can abut against the touch button 201 of the action camera frame 20 to trigger the action camera's shutter button. Specifically, the cold shoe mount 21 is provided at the end of the top plate 2 away from the handle 1. More specifically, the top of the top plate 2 has a cold shoe mounting slot for connecting external accessories. In this document, external accessories may include some photography accessories required by the user, or the user may also install some cold shoe decorative parts in the cold shoe mounting slot on the top of the top plate 2.

[0035] Regarding the grip experience, in the auxiliary shooting structure 10 described in this paper, the top plate 2 bends towards the rear of the action camera at the end facing the handle 1 to form a support portion 23. Specifically, the operating part 22 bends towards the rear of the action camera at the end near the handle 1 to form the support portion 23. Under normal circumstances, the user can hold the handle 1 and place their fingers on the support portion 23, allowing the user to grip the handle 1 more relaxed and easily, and conforming to the commonly used human grip posture. On the other hand, it makes it easier for the user to press the top plate 2; specifically, the user can press the support portion 23 to press the top plate 2. It is worth noting that the rear of the action camera described above can be the side of the action camera away from the shooting lens.

[0036] Furthermore, the top of the handle 1 has a first hand rest 12 on the side facing the rear of the action camera, and the holding part 23 has a second hand rest 231. The user's fingers can rest on the first hand rest 12 and the second hand rest 231 in turn to further fit the user's palm.

[0037] On one hand, the top of the handle 1 has a clearance 13 to at least partially accommodate the support part 23. This arrangement makes the connection between the support part 23 and the handle 1 smoother. Furthermore, when the user presses the support part 23 to trigger the touch button 201 of the action camera frame 20 on the top plate 2, the clearance 13 also provides clearance space to facilitate smooth operation.

[0038] On the other hand, the top of the handle 1 has a leading edge protrusion 14 on the side facing the front of the action camera, forming a fitting position 141 on the top of the handle 1 facing the front of the action camera. This arrangement allows the user to place their fingers at the fitting position 141 when holding the handle. It is worth noting that the aforementioned front of the action camera can be the lens-shooting side of the action camera.

[0039] The handle 1 in this article is mainly connected to the action camera frame 20 by a connecting screw 15. Specifically, the action camera frame 20 has a threaded interface 206 on its side, and the handle 1 can be connected to the side of the action camera frame 20 by the connecting screw 15. Specifically, a flathead wrench can be magnetically attached to the bottom of the handle 1, and the user can use the flathead wrench to turn the connecting screw 15 to lock the connecting screw 15 to the action camera frame 20 for installation or removal.

[0040] On the other hand, the handle 1 has a receiving groove 16 on its side, which can be used to accommodate and install action camera quick-release accessories. The action camera frame 20 has a quick-release interface 205 on its side, and the handle 1 is connected to the quick-release interface 205 via the action camera quick-release accessories. In this method, a replacement block interface can be provided in the receiving groove 16. When using the aforementioned threaded connection method, the replacement block can be installed in the receiving groove 16, and the connecting screw 15 passes through the handle 1 and the replacement block in sequence, and is threadedly connected to the threaded interface 206. When installing action camera quick-release accessories, the replacement block can be removed and replaced with action camera quick-release accessories. The quick-release principle of action camera quick-release accessories can refer to existing quick-release forms on the market, and will not be discussed in detail here.
