[0007] Wherein, one end of the second connecting segment is movably connected to one end of the first connecting segment, so that when the other end of the second connecting segment moves relative to the first connecting segment, a notch communicating with the hanging port is defined, the notch being used to allow an external component to be inserted into the hanging port so that the external component can suspend the shooting aid.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first connecting segment includes a docking end and an mounting end, the docking end and the mounting end being spaced apart, one end of the second connecting segment being rotatably connected to the mounting end, and the other end of the second connecting segment being connected to the docking end. Rotating the second connecting segment causes the other end of the second connecting segment to be misaligned with the docking end and form the notch.

[0009] In one embodiment, a fastening structure is further included, the fastening structure including a snap-fit ​​groove and a snap-fit ​​block. The snap-fit ​​groove is disposed at one of the mating end and the other end of the second connecting segment, and the snap-fit ​​block is disposed at the other of the mating end and the other end of the second connecting segment. The snap-fit ​​groove is located on the rotation path of the snap-fit ​​block so that the snap-fit ​​block can be screwed into or out of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the mounting end is provided with a clearance opening so that the mounting end forms a boss, and the other end of the second connecting segment has a rotating arm, which is accommodated in the clearance opening. The rotating arm is rotatably connected to the boss so that the second connecting segment and the first connecting segment are on the same horizontal plane.

[0011] In one embodiment, both the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment are arc-shaped.

[0012] In one embodiment, a reset member is further included, which is installed at the connection between the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This utility model embodiment provides a camera assist device 1000, such as... Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, the shooting aid 1000 includes a connecting ring 10, which comprises a first connecting segment 11 and a second connecting segment 12. The first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12 together form a hanging opening 13. Both the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12 are equipped with magnetic suction components 15, which cooperate to magnetically connect the shooting device to the connecting ring 10. One end of the second connecting segment 12 is movably connected to one end of the first connecting segment 11, so that when the other end of the second connecting segment 12 moves relative to the first connecting segment 11, it defines a notch 14 communicating with the hanging opening 13. The notch 14 allows external components such as ropes or backpack zippers to be inserted into the hanging opening 13, enabling the external component to suspend the shooting aid 1000. This application solves the problem of increased overall size caused by hooks in existing shooting aids. The shooting aid 1000 achieves the suspension requirement directly using the connecting ring 10 without increasing the overall size, while also considering the needs of miniaturization and portability.

[0035] Specifically, the connecting ring 10 can not only be used to connect to the shooting equipment, but also to form a hanging port 13 by using the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12. By moving the second connecting segment 12 relative to the first connecting segment 11, the external component can be inserted into the hanging port 13 after the second connecting segment 12 moves to form a notch 14, so as to suspend the shooting aid 1000. There is no need to add an additional independent hook. The suspension requirement can be met directly by using the connecting ring 10. Without increasing the overall size of the shooting aid 1000, its portability is effectively improved, so that the shooting aid 1000 meets the dual requirements of miniaturization and high portability.

[0036] There are many ways to connect the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12. In one embodiment, the second connecting segment 12 is slidably connected to one end of the first connecting segment 11, and the notch 14 communicating with the hanging port 13 is defined by sliding the second connecting segment 12 relative to the first connecting segment 11. In another embodiment, the second connecting segment 12 is threadedly connected to one end of the first connecting segment 11, and the other end of the second connecting segment 12 is moved relative to the first connecting segment 11 by rotating the second connecting segment 12 to define the notch 14 communicating with the hanging port 13.

[0037] Preferably, refer to Figure 4 In this application, the first connecting segment 11 includes a docking end 111 and an mounting end 112, which are spaced apart. One end of the second connecting segment 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting end 112, and the other end of the second connecting segment 12 is connected to the docking end 111. Rotating the second connecting segment 12 causes the other end of the second connecting segment 12 to be misaligned with the docking end 111, forming a notch 14. Thus, by rotating the second connecting segment 12, the misalignment between it and the docking end 111 can instantly form the notch 14. When suspending the slinger 1000, the position and size of the notch 14 can be directly controlled by the rotation angle of the second connecting segment 12. External components do not need to be accurately aligned with the notch 14, making insertion more convenient. Furthermore, the rotation of the second connecting segment 12 can also guide external components, allowing the slinger 1000 to be quickly inserted into the hanging slot 13, avoiding operational jamming and improving overall suspension efficiency.

[0038] Preferably, the second connecting section 12 rotates toward the hanging opening 13. In this way, when suspending the slinger 1000, the second connecting section 12 can be rotated toward the hanging opening 13 by using external components, and the notch 14 formed after the second connecting section 12 rotates can be inserted into the hanging opening 13. The suspension operation is efficient and convenient, and is also more ergonomic.

[0039] In one embodiment, both the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12 are provided with connecting pieces (not shown in the figure), which are used to fix the fill light. Thus, the connecting ring 10 can fix the shooting equipment and the fill light simultaneously, thereby improving the shooting effect. Specifically, the connecting piece can be an adhesive piece or a magnetic piece.

[0040] Reference Figure 4In one embodiment, the camera assist 1000 further includes a fastening structure 20, which includes a latching groove 21 and a latching block 22. The latching groove 21 is disposed at one end of the docking end 111 and the other end of the second connecting segment 12, and the latching block 22 is disposed at the other end of the docking end 111 and the other end of the second connecting segment 12. The latching groove 21 is located on the rotation path of the latching block 22, so that the latching block 22 can be screwed into or out of the latching groove 21. In this way, the latching groove 21 and the latching block 22 cooperate to limit the second connecting segment 12 by the first connecting segment 11. On the one hand, this can prevent the hanging port 13 from failing and prevent the camera assist 1000 from accidentally falling off during the suspension process, thereby improving the reliability of use. On the other hand, when suspension is not required, it can effectively maintain the relative position of the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12, thereby improving the stability of the magnetic connection between the connecting ring 10 and the shooting device.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the mounting end 112 is provided with a recess 1121, so that the mounting end 112 forms a boss 1122. The other end of the second connecting segment 12 has a rotating arm 121, which is accommodated in the recess 1121. The rotating arm 121 is rotatably connected to the boss 1122, so that the same side of the second connecting segment 12 and the first connecting segment 11 are on the same horizontal plane. With this configuration, the rotating arm 121 is accommodated in the recess 1121, so that the same side of the second connecting segment 12 and the first connecting segment 11 are both on the same horizontal plane. There will be no gap at the connection between the second connecting segments 12 and the first connecting segment 11, which makes it easier to place shooting devices such as mobile phones on the second connecting segment 12 and the first connecting segment 11. This ensures that the second connecting segment 12 and the first connecting segment 11 can fully contact and fit with the shooting device, improving the stability and reliability of the connection with the shooting device.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment, two magnetic components 15 are arranged together to form a magnetic ring, which is more compatible with the magnetic structure on the back of the mobile phone and can improve the stability of the connection with the mobile phone.

[0043] Preferably, both the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12 are arc-shaped. This design allows the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12 to better fit the magnetic structure on the back of the phone, ensuring effective support and connection for the phone while preventing the connecting ring 10 from occupying additional external space.

[0044] In addition, since the connecting ring 10 is more compatible with the magnetic structure on the back of the phone, users can determine the approximate position of the connecting ring 10 and the phone simply by looking at the shape of the connecting ring 10, which is conducive to fixing the shooting device more quickly and accurately.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first connecting segment 11 is provided with a first receiving groove 113, and one magnetic suction member 15 is installed in the first receiving groove 113. The first connecting segment 11 is provided with a second receiving groove 122, and another magnetic suction member 15 is installed in the second receiving groove 122. In this way, the arrangement of the first receiving groove 113 and the second receiving groove 122 can limit and fix the magnetic suction member 15, prevent the magnetic suction member 15 from being misaligned, and improve the stability when connected to the shooting device.

[0046] In one embodiment, each magnetic member 15 is provided with a decorative strip 16, with the two decorative strips 16 respectively covering the first receiving groove 113 and the second receiving groove 122. In this way, the decorative strips 16 can decorate the camera aid 1000 and improve its aesthetics.

[0047] In one embodiment, the assist device 1000 further includes a damping connection assembly (not shown in the figure). The second connecting segment 12 is damped and rotatably connected to the first connecting segment 11 via the damping connection assembly, allowing the second connecting segment 12 to be suspended at any angle. Thus, the damping connection assembly provides damping force to the second connecting segment 12, maintaining the relative position of the second connecting segment 12 and the first connecting segment 11. The user can freely adjust the second connecting segment 12 to keep the notch 14 open for easy insertion of external components, or to keep the notch 14 closed to prevent the assist device 1000 from falling off during suspension. Specifically, the damping connection assembly can be a damping pivot.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 In one embodiment, the assist device 1000 further includes a reset member 30, which is installed at the connection between the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12. The reset member 30 is used to reset the second connecting segment 12 when it moves relative to the first connecting segment 11 to define the notch 14. This makes the hanging operation more convenient and faster. Specifically, after the external component is inserted into the hanging opening 13, the reset member 30 can drive the second connecting segment 12 to reset, so that the notch 14 is closed, and the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12 re-form the hanging opening 13. There is no need to operate the second connecting segment 12 again, which greatly improves the convenience of operation.

[0049] In addition, users only need to push open the second connecting section 12 with one hand and insert the external component, and then use the reset component 30 to automatically reset after releasing the second connecting section 12, thus completing the suspension of the 1000. The 1000 can also meet the user's one-handed suspension operation scenario, making it more adaptable.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that the reset component 30 can force the second connecting segment 12 to engage with the second connecting segment 12 immediately, so as to close the notch 14 and avoid the potential danger of the assist device 1000 falling off due to the user forgetting to manually lock it.

[0051] In one embodiment, the reset element 30 is an elastic element 31, which includes a coil 311 and two rotating posts 312. The coil 311 is located between the two rotating posts 312, and the two rotating posts 312 are respectively connected to the first connecting segment 11 and the second connecting segment 12, so that the coil 311 can store energy when the second connecting segment 12 moves relative to the first connecting segment 12 to define the notch 14, and release energy to drive the second connecting segment 12 to reset. In this way, the elastic force generated by the elastic element 31 is used to reset the second connecting segment 12, and the structural design is simpler and more reasonable. Specifically, when the second connecting segment 12 rotates relative to the first connecting segment 11, the second connecting segment 12 is unlocked and drives the rotating column 312 to rotate relative to another rotating column 312. The angle between the lines connecting the two rotating connecting arms changes. At this time, the coil 311 begins to store energy using the generated elastic potential energy, and the external component can be placed in the hanging port 13 using the notch 14. When the second connecting segment 12 is not subjected to external force, the coil 311 can release energy and reset the rotating column 312 connected to the second connecting segment 12, thereby moving the second connecting segment 12 to its original position, closing the notch 14 again, and locking the second connecting segment 12 onto the first connecting segment 11.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, the shooting aid 1000 further includes a handle 40, with a connecting ring 10 attached to one side of the handle 40. The handle 40 is for the user to hold, making it easier for the user to grip the shooting aid 1000 and making the shooting more stable.

[0053] There are many ways to connect the connecting ring 10 to the handle 40. In one embodiment, the connecting ring 10 is rotatably connected to the handle 40, and rotating the connecting ring 10 causes it to fold into place at the handle 40. This allows the connecting ring 10 to be folded into place at the handle 40 when not in use, making it convenient for the user to store the camera assist 1000; it also allows the user to adjust the relative position of the shooting device at the handle 40 by rotating the connecting ring 10, facilitating switching shooting directions. In another embodiment, the connecting ring 10 and the handle 40 are integrally formed. This reduces the number of parts and improves assembly efficiency. In yet another embodiment, the connecting ring 10 is magnetically connected to the handle 40. This allows the connecting ring 10 to be installed or removed from the handle 40, making installation and removal convenient.

[0054] Refer again Figure 6 In one embodiment, the camera assist device 1000 further includes a controller 50, which is detachably connected to the handle 40. The controller 50 has an operation component 51 and a wireless communication module. The operation component 51 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module, which is used to connect to the shooting device via a wireless signal. Thus, the user can remotely control the shooting device through the controller 50 to take photos remotely, expanding the application scenarios of the camera assist device 1000 and making it more convenient for users to take photos.

[0055] In one embodiment, the operation component 51 includes a joystick 511, a dial 512, and several function keys 513. The joystick is used to control the focusing of the shooting device; the dial 512 is used to steplessly adjust the focal length of the shooting device. The dial 512 is easy to operate, making the zoom operation smoother; the several function keys 513 are used to take pictures, switch shooting modes and lenses, and turn the controller 50 on and off, respectively.

[0056] In one embodiment, the handle 40 is provided with a first power supply component (not shown in the figure) and an output contact (not shown in the figure). The first power supply component is electrically connected to the output contact, which is exposed outside the handle 40. The controller 50 is provided with an input contact. When the controller 50 is mounted on the handle 40, the output contact and the input contact come into contact, and the first power supply component charges the controller 50. This allows the handle 40 to charge the controller 50 in real time, eliminating user concerns about the controller 50's battery life and significantly reducing user anxiety about the controller 50's battery level. Furthermore, the controller 50 and handle 40 are charged through contact; simply placing the controller 50 on the handle 40 completes the charging process without cumbersome operations, achieving a "place and charge" effect and making operation more convenient.

[0057] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, the top of the handle 40 is provided with a mounting groove 41, the output contacts are disposed in the mounting groove 41, and the controller 50 is housed in the mounting groove 41 so that the output contacts contact the input contacts. In this way, the mounting groove 41 can limit and fix the controller 50, improving the connection stability between the handle 40 and the controller 50.

[0058] Specifically, the outer contour of the controller 50 is adapted to the shape of the mounting groove 41 to further improve the stability when the two are connected.

[0059] In one embodiment, the first power supply is a battery, and a battery compartment is provided on the handle 40. The battery is installed in the battery compartment to charge the controller 50. In this way, the user can power the controller 50 by replacing the battery.

[0060] In one embodiment, the first power supply is a built-in charging power supply, and the handle 40 is provided with a charging port, which is electrically connected to the built-in charging power supply. In this way, the built-in charging power supply can be charged by using the external socket of the charging port, making charging more convenient.

[0061] Reference Figure 3In one embodiment, the top of the handle 40 is further provided with a connecting structure 42, which is used to connect auxiliary shooting accessories such as a tripod. This improves the adaptability of the shooting aid 1000, meeting the user's needs in different scenarios and enhancing the user experience. Specifically, the connecting structure 42 can be a threaded hole, a snap-fit, or a magnet, etc., and the arrangement of the connecting structure 42 is not limited here.

[0062] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
