Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bracket technology, and in particular to a short video shooting bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Short video shooting stands are equipment fixation and posture adjustment tools specifically designed for short video creation. They provide stable support for shooting equipment (such as mobile phones, mirrorless cameras, action cameras, etc.) through a stable structure, while also offering auxiliary capabilities such as multi-angle adjustment, height extension, and stable image stabilization to meet the needs of different scenarios in short video shooting.
[0003] Short video shooting stands typically include a support platform (for fixing the equipment, equipped with buckles, screws or magnetic attachments), a telescopic support rod (for adjusting the shooting height, commonly made of aluminum alloy or carbon fiber, balancing portability and load-bearing capacity), and a stable base structure.
[0004] Existing short video shooting rigs make it difficult for users to observe their own movements and postures on the phone screen when shooting with the phone's main camera, thus affecting the quality and efficiency of short video shooting. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that existing short video shooting rigs make it difficult for users to observe their own movements and postures on the phone screen when shooting with the phone's main camera, thus affecting the quality and efficiency of short video shooting.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Among the currently discovered feasible technologies, the following are described:
[0024] The practicality of short video shooting stands stems from the synergistic effect of their components, and their basic structure comprises three core parts:
[0025] Support platform: As the component that directly fixes the equipment, it needs to balance stability and compatibility. The mainstream design adopts a combination of "universal interface and adjustable buckle" - the interface supports 1 / 4-inch screws (compatible with mirrorless cameras and action cameras) and phone clips (compatible with mainstream 6-7.2-inch models). Some high-end models add a magnetic module, which can fix the phone in 3 seconds. The inside of the buckle is usually wrapped with a silicone pad, which not only prevents the equipment from being scratched, but also enhances the fixing effect through friction. The load-bearing capacity is generally 0.5-3kg, which is sufficient to cope with the combined load of the phone and the fill light.
[0026] Adjustment System: Determining the viewing flexibility of the tripod, this system consists of a support rod and a joint axis. The support rod is typically a multi-segment telescopic structure, locked via a knob. Aluminum alloy models offer height adjustment from 30cm to 1.8m, while carbon fiber models can be compressed to within 25cm, reducing weight by 40%. The joint axis is a crucial component. The ball head supports 360° horizontal rotation and -30° to 90° tilt adjustment. Some tripods incorporate damping at the elbow for precise positioning during adjustment, preventing wobbling.
[0027] Stable bases: There are three types based on the usage scenario - tripod base (improves stability through three-point support, and the legs can be opened to 60° to adapt to uneven ground such as slopes), octopus base (silicone tentacles can be wrapped around railings and tree branches, suitable for creative outdoor shooting), and desktop base (flat design, 10-15cm high, suitable for desktop overhead shooting of food, journals, etc.).
[0028] Advanced models of the tripod will have additional expansion interfaces, such as a 1 / 4-inch screw hole on the side (for installing a fill light), a cold shoe mount on the top (for fixing a microphone), and some will also have a built-in Bluetooth remote control module, supporting remote shutter control within 10 meters to meet the needs of single-person selfies.
[0029] Desktop stands: Emphasizing "compact and efficient," these stands are typically 20-50cm high, with bases mostly consisting of folding tripods or fixed discs. Their advantage lies in their small footprint, making them suitable for fixed indoor settings—such as food bloggers shooting cooking processes from above (adjustable to a 45° angle to avoid hands in the shot), or beauty bloggers taking close-up shots of makeup details (equipped with a ring light interface). Some models are designed for "folding and storage," folding to only 15cm in length, allowing them to be easily placed in a bag.
[0030] Floor stand: The core is "balance between height and stability", with a height range of 0.8-2.2m. The base is a tripod, which can support up to 2kg. It is suitable for scenarios such as full-body portrait photography (adjusted to a height of 1.6m, level with an adult's eye level), group photos (extending the tripod to its maximum span to improve stability), and time-lapse photography (fixed position for shooting sunrises and traffic flow, with the bottom able to be weighted to resist wind). To enhance portability, the mainstream model adopts a "reverse folding design", with a folded length of about 60cm and a weight of about 1kg.
[0031] Portable tripods: With "scene adaptation" as the core, typical examples are the octopus tripod and the monopod. The octopus tripod achieves "fixation anywhere" through its flexible tentacles, such as wrapping around bicycle handlebars to shoot cycling or fixing it to a tree trunk to shoot outdoor landscapes. The monopod balances height and portability, with a height of 1.5m when unfolded and only 30cm when folded, making it suitable for quickly changing shooting locations while traveling. However, its stability is weaker than that of a tripod, and it needs to be used with handheld assistance.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5A short video shooting bracket includes a first upright 1, a second upright 2 slidably connected to the top of the first upright 1, a groove in the middle of the first upright 1 for the second upright 2 to be inserted into, several first insertion holes 11 on the side wall of the second upright 2, and a second pin 21 threadedly connected to the side wall of the first upright 1. The operator slides the second upright 2 to insert the second pin 21 into different first insertion holes 11, improving the stability of the bracket's height adjustment. A support assembly 12 is provided at the bottom of the first upright 1, including a support seat 1201 threadedly connected to the bottom of the first upright 1, a threaded groove 1203 in the middle of the support seat 1201 for the first upright 1 to be threadedly connected, and three support feet 1202 rotatably connected to the side wall of the support seat 1201. Rotating the three support feet 1202 expands the support, increasing the bottom support area of the first upright 1 and improving the stability of the first upright 1. A first mounting base 3 is threadedly connected to the top of the second upright 2. A connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the device, and a second mounting base 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod 4. Rotating the connecting rod 4 allows for fine adjustment of the angle of the second mounting base 5. A first claw 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the second mounting base 5, and a second claw 7 is movably connected to the top of the first claw 6, improving the adaptability and stability of the phone clamping. The first claw 6 and the second claw 7 are symmetrically distributed to clamp the phone. The phone is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. A first support rod 8 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the second mounting base 5, and a second support rod 9 is inserted into the end of the first support rod 8. An observation mirror 10 is rotatably connected to the top of the second support rod 9. The operator can pull the second claw 7 upward to adjust the distance between the first claw 6 and the second claw 7, thereby facilitating the clamping of the phone between the first claw 6 and the second claw 7, so that the phone screen faces the observation mirror 10, thus facilitating the display of the shooting image. This allows the short video shooter to monitor their own short video shooting image, adjust their posture, and improve the quality and efficiency of short video shooting.
[0033] The top of the first support rod 8 is threaded with a first pin 19. The surface of the second support rod 9 has several second slots 18, which are linearly distributed for the first pin 19 to be inserted into, thus improving the convenience of adjusting the distance of the observation lens 10. The insertion of the first pin 19 into the second slot 18 improves the stability of the second support rod 9. Several locking blocks 14 are fixed on the surface of the second support rod 9. A limiting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the observation lens 10 near the locking block 14. The bottom end of the limiting rod 13 is locked in the middle of the locking block 14, thus improving the convenience of adjusting the angle of the observation lens 10.
[0034] The bottom end of the second claw 7 is fixed with two guide rods 15, and the outer surface of each guide rod 15 is wound with a spring 16. The top end of the first claw 6 has two insertion slots 17 for the guide rods 15 to slide, which improves the stability of the clamping of the first claw 6 and the second claw 7.
[0035] A tightening knob is threaded onto the side wall of the first mounting base 3, and a connecting ball 20 is fixed to the top of the connecting rod 4. The connecting ball 20 is engaged with the bottom of the second mounting base 5, which improves the stability of the rotation of the second mounting base 5.
[0036] When using this short video shooting bracket, the operator first moves the bracket to the designated position, then unfolds the three support bases 1201 to support it on the ground. The operator then releases the limiting of the second pin 21 and slides the second upright 2 to adjust the height of the bracket. The second pin 21 is then inserted into the middle of the first socket 11 to achieve support. The operator pulls the second claw 7 upward to adjust the distance between the first claw 6 and the second claw 7, so that the mobile phone can be easily inserted between the first claw 6 and the second claw 7, so that the screen of the mobile phone faces the observation mirror 10, thus facilitating the display of the shooting scene. This allows the short video shooter to monitor their own short video shooting scene and adjust their posture, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of short video shooting.
[0037] Considering that the close proximity between the observation mirror 10 and the second mounting base 5 may affect the viewing experience, the operator can adjust the distance between the observation mirror 10 and the second mounting base 5 by sliding the second support rod 9. The first pin rod 19 is inserted into the second slot 18, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first support rod 8 and the second support rod 9. The operator can rotate the observation mirror 10 and the locking block 14 to insert the bottom end of the locking block 14 into the middle of the locking block 14, thereby improving the stability of the angle adjustment of the observation mirror 10, thus expanding the monitoring range of the observation mirror 10 and improving the monitoring effect.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
