Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drones and relates to gimbal camera technology for drones, specifically a drone with an adjustable gimbal camera. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most drones mount gimbal cameras on their bottom, allowing for angle adjustments and enhanced stability during flight, thus facilitating successful filming. However, mounting a gimbal camera only on the bottom of the drone does not provide simultaneous top and bottom shooting capabilities. This is inconvenient for scenarios requiring simultaneous top and bottom adjustment for filming, necessitating the use of a separate drone at a higher altitude. Therefore, this invention proposes a drone with an adjustable gimbal camera. Utility Model Content

[0006] The lower side of the lifting platform is equipped with a downward-extending second camera gimbal, on which a second camera is mounted.

[0007] The lifting platform is provided with a cylinder chamber, which is divided into two chambers, namely a first chamber and a second chamber. A first telescopic rod is provided on the upper side of the lifting platform corresponding to the first chamber, and a second telescopic rod is provided on the lower side of the lifting platform corresponding to the second chamber.

[0008] The outer ends of the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are respectively connected to the first camera gimbal and the second camera gimbal.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model creatively modifies the drone by setting up a accommodating channel at the center of gravity of the drone and configuring a vertically retractable camera gimbal; it has high stability and enables the drone to shoot from both the top and bottom. Furthermore, this utility model adopts air pressure drive and uses air pressure to blow the camera, which is beneficial for use in harsh working conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The upper side of the lifting platform 12 is equipped with an upwardly retractable first camera gimbal 13; a first camera 131 is mounted on the first camera gimbal 13.

[0018] The lower side of the lifting platform 12 is equipped with a downwardly retractable second camera gimbal 14, on which a second camera 141 is mounted.

[0019] An accommodating passage is set at the center of gravity of the drone, and a vertically retractable camera gimbal is configured; it has high stability and enables the drone to shoot from both the top and bottom.

[0020] The lifting platform 12 is provided with a cylinder chamber, which includes a first chamber 121 and a second chamber 122 arranged vertically. A first telescopic rod 132 is provided on the upper side of the lifting platform 12 corresponding to the first chamber 121; and a second telescopic rod 142 is provided on the lower side of the lifting platform 12 corresponding to the second chamber 122.
