A lightweight camera stabilizer

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of photographic stabilizer technology, and provides a lightweight photographic stabilizer, including a grip and a stabilizer arm assembly, and further including: a clamping member rotatably connected to one end of the stabilizer arm assembly, including a first clamping arm, and a second clamping arm provided on one side of the first clamping arm. In use, manually pushing the lower ends of the first and second clamping arms to both sides causes the damper and spring to deform as the clamping arms open, and the connecting column drives the fastener to open synchronously, forming an opening that can accommodate a mobile phone. The lower end of the mobile phone is then placed against the support tube outside the support column. The frustum-shaped structure of the support tube limits the device and prevents displacement, ensuring center alignment.

The fastener can also be adapted to different mobile phones by rotating the connecting column. The spring and damper ensure the pressure of the fastener on the mobile phone, preventing the phone from slipping off due to shaking.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photography stabilizer technology, and in particular to a lightweight photography stabilizer. Background Technology

[0002] With the upgrading of smartphone photography functions, lightweight camera stabilizers have become an essential tool for outdoor shooting, vlog creation and other scenarios. Their core requirement is to achieve stable fixation and posture stabilization of the phone through mechanical structure.

[0003] However, in the current technology, most of the lightweight photography stabilizers on the market adopt a simple clamping structure, which usually fixes the phone with a combination of two side plates and springs. They lack a multi-dimensional limiting structure for the phone, and there are no matching support parts at the bottom of the phone. The phone is maintained by the friction of the clamping plates alone. In scenarios with force such as moving shots and low-angle follow shots, the phone is prone to sliding along the clamping plates or even vertical displacement, which is a defect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing camera stabilizers, which have simple structures when fixing mobile phones, making it easy for the phone to slip when subjected to force, causing the phone to detach from the stabilizer.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A lightweight photography stabilizer: including a grip and a stabilizing arm assembly, and further including: The clamping component is rotatably connected to one end of the stabilizing arm assembly, including a clamping arm one, and a clamping arm two is provided on one side of the clamping arm one; The support member, with its two ends rotatably connected to one side of clamping arm one and one side of clamping arm two, includes a damper; Adjustment components are located on the outer surface of the stabilizer arm assembly.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping member further includes: The substrate is rotatably connected to one end of the stabilizing arm assembly; Among them, clamp arm one and clamp arm two are rotatably connected to one side of the substrate; There are two connecting columns, which are rotatably connected to one end of clamping arm one and clamping arm two via bearings; There are two fasteners, which are fixed to one end of the two connecting posts; There are two rubber pads, which are fixed inside the fastener.

[0007] The technical effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: the base plate provides stable rotation support for clamping arm one and clamping arm two, the connecting column realizes flexible rotation of the fastener through the bearing, and adapts to the clamping angle of different equipment specifications; the fastener can tightly wrap around both sides of the equipment, and with the internal rubber pad, it can not only enhance the friction between the equipment and the fastener to prevent slippage, but also avoid the fastener directly contacting the equipment and causing surface scratches, thereby improving clamping reliability and equipment protection.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping member further includes: Two support columns are provided and fixed to the other end of clamping arm one and clamping arm two. There are two support tubes, which are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the support column. The two support tubes are truncated cone-shaped.

[0009] The technical effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are as follows: the frustum-shaped support tube can form a precise limit on the lower end of the equipment, effectively preventing the equipment from shifting to the left or right, and ensuring that the center of the equipment is aligned with the center of the stabilizer clamp; the rotatable design of the support tube makes it convenient to adjust the position when the equipment is placed, and reduces hard friction between the equipment and the support tube.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the support member further includes: There are two connecting blocks, which are rotatably connected to one side of clamping arm one and clamping arm two; The two ends of the damper are fixed to the opposite surfaces of the two connecting blocks; The spring is fitted onto the outer surface of the damper.

[0011] The technical effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: the flexible rotation of the connecting block clamping arm one and clamping arm two, and the smooth opening and closing action; the damper can buffer the impact force when clamping arm one and clamping arm two move, and avoid sudden force changes that could damage the equipment; the spring sleeve damper can provide a stable reset force and improve clamping stability.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting member includes: The adjusting ring is threaded onto the outer surface of the damper. A double-sided bearing is fixed to one side surface of the adjusting ring; One side of the double-sided bearing is fixed to one end of the spring.

[0013] The technical effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: the adjusting ring changes the initial stroke of the spring through thread adjustment, thereby controlling the tension of the spring on the damper, realizing precise adjustment of clamping pressure, and adapting to equipment of different widths; the double-sided bearing can prevent the adjusting ring from rotating and causing the spring to rotate, preventing the spring from deforming or wearing due to rotational force, ensuring the stability of the spring force, and making the adjustment operation smoother.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, an L-shaped connector is fixedly connected to one side surface of each of the two connecting blocks.

[0015] The technical advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the L-shaped connector provides a convenient point of force application for operation, and pressing can drive the connecting block to separate, thereby opening the fastener, without having to directly pry the clamp arm, making the operation more labor-saving; and it can avoid direct contact between the hand and the clamp arm or equipment, reducing scratch damage to the parts and equipment during operation.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to one side surface of the substrate.

[0017] The technical effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the anti-slip pad can increase the friction between the back of the equipment and the substrate, preventing the equipment from sliding due to shaking or tilting during use; at the same time, it can buffer the hard contact between the equipment and the substrate, avoid the back of the equipment being scratched by the substrate, effectively protect the appearance of the equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. In use, manually push the lower ends of clamping arms one and two to both sides. The damper and spring deform as the clamping arms open, and the connecting column drives the fastener to open synchronously, forming an opening that can accommodate the mobile phone. Place the lower end of the mobile phone against the support tube outside the support column. The frustum-shaped structure of the support tube limits the device and prevents it from shifting, ensuring center alignment. Release clamping arms one and two, and the spring returns to its original position, pulling the damper to retract and causing the clamping arms to close. The fastener covers both sides of the device, and the internal rubber pads adhere to increase friction and prevent slippage. The fastener can also be adapted to different mobile phones by rotating the connecting column. The spring and damper ensure the pressure of the fastener on the mobile phone and prevent the mobile phone from slipping off due to vibration.

[0019] 2. In use, pressing the two L-shaped connectors causes the connecting blocks to move away from each other, which in turn drives the damper and spring to adjust their strokes, allowing the fasteners to move away from each other. When the adjusting ring is rotated, the bidirectional bearing can prevent the spring from being subjected to rotational force to maintain its elasticity. It can also adjust the initial stroke of the spring and the tension on the damper. Rotating the adjusting ring clockwise moves the spring, pushing the spring to shorten, reducing the tension and clamping pressure; rotating counterclockwise lengthens the spring, increasing the tension and clamping pressure. This ensures stable clamping force when fixing mobile phones of different specifications. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1: Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a lightweight photography stabilizer, the specific idea of ​​which is as follows: In one specific implementation, it includes a grip 1 and a stabilizer arm assembly 2, and further includes: The clamping component is rotatably connected to one end of the stabilizer arm assembly 2, including clamp arm 5 and clamp arm 6 on one side of clamp arm 5. The support member, with its two ends rotatably connected to one side of clamp arm 5 and one side of clamp arm 6 respectively, includes a damper 13; An adjustment element is provided on the outer surface of the stabilizer arm assembly 2.

[0024] As one specific implementation, the clamping member further includes: The substrate 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the stabilizing arm assembly 2; Among them, clamping arm 5 and clamping arm 6 are rotatably connected to one side of substrate 3; There are two connecting columns 7, which are rotatably connected to one end of clamping arm 5 and clamping arm 6 via bearings; Two fasteners 8 are provided and fixed to one end of the two connecting posts 7; There are two rubber pads 9, which are fixed inside the buckle 8.

[0025] As one specific implementation, the clamping member further includes: Two support columns 10 are provided and fixed to the other end of clamping arm 5 and clamping arm 6; There are two support tubes 11, which are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the support column 10; Among them, the two support tubes 11 are in the shape of a frustum.

[0026] In this embodiment, the specific type of clamping member can be various, and this application does not limit it. In an optional embodiment, as an example of a clamping member, the clamping member includes: a base plate 3, a first clamping arm 5, a second clamping arm 6, a connecting post 7, a fastener 8, a rubber pad 9, a support post 10, and a support tube 11. The specific quantity of each component is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the settings are as follows: In this embodiment, a base plate 3 is provided, which is rotatably connected to one end of the stabilizer arm assembly 2 to provide back support when fixing the shooting equipment.

[0027] Clamping arms 5 and 6, which provide lateral clamping force, are rotatably connected to the rear surface of substrate 3 via bearings and are arranged in a cross configuration. The lower ends of clamping arms 5 and 6 rotate on the rear surface of substrate 3 under force. The connecting column 7, which is used to transmit kinetic energy, is rotatably connected to one end of the clamping arm 5 and the clamping arm 6 via a bearing, and moves closer to each other under the drive of the clamping arm 5 and the clamping arm 6. The fasteners 8 used for fixing are fixed to one end of the connecting column 7 by bolts. The two fasteners 8 are fitted on the outer surface of the shooting equipment to fix the shooting equipment. The rubber pad 9, used to increase friction, is glued to the inside of the two buckles 8 to prevent the shooting equipment from slipping. The support column 10, which provides support, is fixed to the lower end of the clamp arm 5 and the clamp arm 6 by bolts, providing an installation position; The support tube 11, which provides a limit, is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the support column 10 via a bearing. The lower end of the shooting device is attached to the outer surface of the support tube 11. The inclined outer surface provides support, limits the position of the shooting device, and improves the stability of the shooting device.

[0028] As one specific implementation, the support member further includes: There are two connecting blocks 12, which are rotatably connected to one side of clamp arm 5 and clamp arm 6; The two ends of the damper 13 are fixed to the opposite surfaces of the two connecting blocks 12; Spring 14 is sleeved on the outer surface of damper 13.

[0029] In this embodiment, during use, force is manually applied to both sides to push the lower ends of clamping arm 5 and clamping arm 6. After being subjected to force, the two ends of clamping arm 5 and clamping arm 6 will rotate around the base plate 3 and move away from each other. The damper 13, through the two connecting blocks 12, undergoes tensile deformation as clamping arm 5 and clamping arm 6 open. The spring 14 on the outer surface also stretches accordingly. The connecting post 7 at the end of clamping arm 5 drives the buckle 8 to open synchronously, forming an opening space that can accommodate the shooting device. The lower end of the mobile phone is then attached to the support tube 11 on the outer surface of the support post 10. Through the frustum-shaped structure of the support tube 11, its inclined outer surface can limit the lower end of the device, preventing the device from shifting left or right and ensuring that the center of the device is aligned with the center of the stabilizer clamp. Then, the external force on clamping arm 5 and clamping arm 6 is released, and the spring 14 returns to its original position under the action of elasticity. Pulling the damper 13 retracts the clamp arm, causing the clamp arm 5 and clamp arm 6 to move closer together. At this time, the buckle 8 will be tightly fitted onto the outer surfaces of both sides of the shooting device, and the rubber pad 9 inside the buckle 8 will be completely in contact with the surface of the device. The rubber pad 9 increases friction to effectively prevent the shooting device from slipping due to shaking or tilting during use, thus achieving a stable fixation of the device. Furthermore, the buckle 8 can be adapted to different sizes of mobile phones by rotating the connecting column 7. The operator holds the handle 1 and moves the stabilizer according to the shooting requirements. During the movement, the stabilizer arm assembly 2 can offset hand shaking through multi-axis rotation and damping buffer, avoiding blurry shooting images. After shooting, push the clamp arms to both sides again and repeat the above actions to remove the shooting device, completing one usage cycle.

[0030] Among them, the stabilizer arm assembly 2 is existing technology and is a common device in daily life, so we will not go into too much detail here. You can choose the specific model according to your needs.

[0031] Example 2: like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment also provides an adjustment member, disposed on the outer surface of the stabilizer arm assembly 2, including: Adjusting ring 16 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of damper 13; The double-sided bearing 17 is fixed to one side surface of the adjusting ring 16; One side surface of the bidirectional bearing 17 is fixed to one end of the spring 14.

[0032] In one specific implementation, the adjusting component includes: an adjusting ring 16, which is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the damper 13; The double-sided bearing 17, used to prevent friction, is fixed to one side of the adjusting ring 16 and one end of the spring 14 by bolts, preventing friction between the outer surface of the adjusting ring 16 and the double-sided bearing 17.

[0033] In one specific implementation, L-shaped connectors 15 are fixedly connected to one side surface of both connecting blocks 12.

[0034] In the above implementation, by pressing the two L-shaped connectors 15, the two connecting blocks 12 are forced to move away from each other, thereby controlling the stroke of the damper 13 and the spring 14 so that the two fasteners 8 move away from each other.

[0035] In one specific implementation, an anti-slip pad 4 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the substrate 3.

[0036] Anti-slip pads 4, used to prevent wear on components, are glued to one side of the substrate 3. When the phone is secured, they provide cushioning, preventing friction between the phone and the substrate 3 and ensuring the phone's lifespan. In this embodiment, during use, pressing the two L-shaped connectors 15 causes the two connecting blocks 12 to move away from each other after being subjected to force, controlling the stroke of the damper 13 and the spring 14, so that the two fasteners 8 move away from each other. Rotating the adjusting ring 16, which rotates through the bidirectional bearing 17, avoids the spring 14 being subjected to rotational force, ensures the elasticity of the spring 14, and effectively adjusts the initial stroke of the spring 14, controlling the tension of the spring 14 on the damper 13. When rotating clockwise, the adjusting ring 16 will move along the axis of the damper 13 towards the spring 14, pushing the spring 14 to shorten through the bidirectional bearing 17. At this time, the tension of the spring 14 on the damper 13 becomes smaller. When the clamping arms 1 and 2 come together, the clamping pressure of the fastener 8 on the device will decrease accordingly. Conversely, rotating the adjusting ring 16 counterclockwise moves the adjusting ring 16 away from the spring 14, stretches the spring 14, increases the tension, and increases the clamping pressure of the fastener 8 accordingly, ensuring the stability of the clamping force when fixing mobile phones of different specifications.

[0037] In addition, a battery pack may be provided in this application to provide power to the devices inside the stabilizer arm assembly 2. The circuit connection adopts the conventional connection method in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] Working principle: The operator manually pushes the lower ends of clamping arms 5 and 6 to both sides. Under force, they rotate around the base plate 3 and move away from each other. During this process, the damper 13, through two connecting blocks 12, undergoes tensile deformation as the clamping arms move. The spring 14 on its outer surface stretches synchronously. Simultaneously, the connecting post 7 at the end of clamping arm 5 drives the fastener 8 to open, forming an opening space to accommodate the shooting device. The lower end of the phone is then placed against the support tube 11 on the outer surface of the support post 10. The frustum-shaped structure of the support tube 11, with its inclined outer surface, limits the lower end of the device, preventing lateral displacement and ensuring alignment between the device center and the stabilizer clamping center. After releasing the external force on the clamping arms, the spring 14 springs back to its original position. Under the action of force, the damper 13 is pulled to retract, which in turn causes the clamp arm 5 and clamp arm 6 to move closer to each other. At this time, the buckle 8 is tightly fitted on the outer surfaces of both sides of the shooting device. The rubber pad 9 inside the buckle 8 is completely in contact with the surface of the device. By increasing the friction, the device is prevented from sliding due to shaking or tilting, thus achieving a stable fixation. The buckle 8 can also be adjusted by the connecting column 7 to adapt to different sizes of mobile phones. When in use, the operator holds the handle 1 and moves the stabilizer according to the shooting needs. During the movement, the stabilizer arm assembly 2 relies on multi-axis rotation and damping to offset hand shaking and avoid blurry images. After shooting, push the clamp arms to both sides again and repeat the opening action to remove the device.

[0039] The clamping pressure of the fastener 8 on the device is controlled by rotating the adjusting ring 16 to adapt to mobile phones of different specifications and ensure stable clamping force. When the adjusting ring 16 is rotated, the double-sided bearing 17 can prevent the spring 14 from being subjected to rotational force, thereby ensuring the stability of the spring force of the spring 14. At the same time, the rotation of the adjusting ring 16 can indirectly change the initial stroke of the spring 14 through the double-sided bearing 17, thereby controlling the tension of the spring 14 on the damper 13. Specifically, when the adjusting ring 16 is rotated clockwise, the adjusting ring 16 will move along the axis of the damper 13 towards the spring 14, and push the spring 14 to retract through the double-sided bearing 17. When the spring 14 pulls on the damper 13 less, the clamping pressure of the buckle 8 on the device also decreases when the clamping arms 11 and 26 come together. When the adjusting ring 16 is rotated counterclockwise, the adjusting ring 16 moves away from the spring 14, and the spring 14 is stretched, increasing the pull on the damper 13. The clamping pressure of the buckle 8 on the device also increases accordingly, ultimately achieving stable clamping of mobile phones of different specifications. Pressing the two L-shaped connectors 15 causes the two connecting blocks 12 to move away from each other after being subjected to force, controlling the stroke of the damper 13 and the spring 14 so that the two buckles 8 move away from each other.
