Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera accessory technology, specifically to a camera cage triangular cold shoe extension mount. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of video shooting, the installation of camera accessories (such as microphones, fill lights, image transmitters, monitors, etc.) usually relies on cold shoe mounts. When the cold shoe mounts of the camera, camera cage, or top handle are insufficient, cold shoe expansion mounts are often used to solve this problem. Traditional cold shoe expansion mounts are mostly square hexahedral designs. Due to the close spacing between the various cold shoe openings, the number of interfaces that can actually be used simultaneously is not large. Especially when used with cameras without a nose cone (flat-top cameras), the traditional square cold shoe expansion mount has two interfaces parallel to the camera body. When installing equipment, the left and right interfaces are actually ineffective for expansion because the inserted equipment will interfere with the camera body (the inserted equipment will touch the camera body), which seriously affects the efficiency of the expansion mount. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a camera cage triangular cold shoe extension mount, which integrates at least two non-parallel cold shoe mount interfaces, optimizes space utilization, solves the interference problem in the use of the extension mount described in the background art, and improves the utilization rate of the device.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A camera cage triangular cold shoe extension mount includes a main structure having at least two non-parallel mounting surfaces, each mounting surface being provided with a cold shoe mount interface for detachably connecting photographic accessories;
[0006] One end of the main structure is provided with a docking structure for fixed connection with the camera carrier.
[0007] Furthermore, the main structure is triangular, the mounting surface is the two sloping sides of the triangle, and there is an arc-shaped transition structure between the two sloping sides.
[0008] Furthermore, the docking structure is a NATO-standard dovetail groove interface, located at the bottom of the main structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the docking structure is a NATO-standard dovetail slot plug interface, which is integrally formed with the bottom of the main structure.
[0010] Furthermore, the docking structure is a screw interface, located at the bottom of the main structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the docking structure is a cold shoe insert interface, located at the bottom of the main structure.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. The main triangular structure of this utility model is compact and aesthetically pleasing, and can provide at least two non-parallel inclined surfaces (the cold shoe mount interface), allowing for the simultaneous installation of two photographic accessories (such as microphones, image transmission devices, or fill lights). This facilitates the plugging and unplugging of equipment. Compared to the traditional square hexahedral cold shoe mount, it significantly reduces the size of the equipment, minimizes interference (touching) problems during equipment expansion, and improves the usability of the equipment on various devices (especially on cameras without a warship head).
[0014] 2. This utility model provides docking structures of different specifications, thereby providing a variety of cold shoe expansion mounts with different interfaces to meet the conversion needs of various specifications of photographic equipment and camera cages. Attached Figure Description
