[0027] This utility model proposes a handheld gimbal camera, including a handheld frame 100 and a connecting arm 110 rotatably mounted on the handheld frame 100. A support arm 120 is provided at the end of the connecting arm 110 away from the handheld frame 100. The support arm 120 is rotatably mounted on the connecting arm 110, and a mounting arm 130 is rotatably mounted on the support arm 120. Two camera units 140 are provided on the mounting arm 130. These two camera units 140 can be brought close to each other or separated for adjusting the shooting mode.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5This application discloses a handheld gimbal camera comprising a handheld frame 100, a connecting arm 110, a support arm 120, a mounting arm 130, and camera units 140. The handheld frame 100 is for user gripping, and to enhance grip stability, rubber strips can be provided on the surface of the handheld frame 100 to increase friction and ensure a stable grip during use. One end of the connecting arm 110 is mounted on the handheld frame 100 and can rotate on it. The support arm 120 is located at the end of the connecting arm 110 away from the handheld frame 100 and can rotate on it. The mounting arm 130 is rotatably mounted on the support arm 120, and two camera units 140 are movably mounted on the mounting arm 130, which can move closer together or separate. This configuration allows the camera unit 140 to rotate along the X, Y, and Z axes on the handheld stand 100, and because the two camera units 140 can move closer to or separate from each other, multiple shooting modes can be switched.

[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to use such Figure 3 In the single-camera shooting mode shown, the two camera units 140 approach each other until they touch to prevent interference with movement. One of the camera units 140 stops working, and the horizontal and vertical shooting modes can be switched by rotating the support arm 120 on the connecting arm 110.

[0030] When it is necessary to use, such as Figure 2 In the dual-camera panoramic shooting mode shown, the two camera units 140 approach each other until they touch. At this time, both camera units 140 are working. In order to prevent the perspective from being obscured in the dual-camera panoramic shooting mode, the mounting arm 130 and the support arm 120 are rotated to a position that does not obstruct the camera unit 140, and then the mounting arm 130 and the support arm 120 are locked. At this time, only the connecting arm 110 can rotate on the handheld bracket 100, so that the camera unit 140 can only rotate along the Z-axis on the handheld bracket 100.

[0031] When it is necessary to use, such as Figure 1 In the dual-camera 3D space shooting mode shown, the mounting arm 130 and the support arm 120 are first rotated to a position that does not interfere with the movement of the two camera units 140. Then, the two camera units 140 are moved apart until the angle between the two camera units 140 reaches 180 degrees. Both camera units 140 work to shoot 3D space video.

[0032] By using the handheld gimbal camera proposed in this application, users can flexibly switch between the three shooting modes as needed, thereby making the application scenarios of this application more diverse, providing users with more choices, and optimizing the user experience.

[0033] In some embodiments, two camera units 140 are respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting arm 130, and a rotating shaft 141 is provided at the connection between the camera unit 140 and the mounting arm 130.

[0034] In some embodiments, a magnet is provided on the camera unit 140, and two camera units 140 can move closer to each other through the rotating shaft 141 until they come into contact, and the two camera units 140 are attracted together by the magnet.

[0035] In some embodiments, a protrusion 142 is provided on the side of the camera unit 140 away from the rotating shaft 141, and the two camera units 140 are separated by applying a force to the protrusion 142.

[0036] In some embodiments, the maximum angle between the two camera units 140 is 180 degrees.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the camera unit 140 is movably mounted on the mounting arm 130 via a pivot 141. The two camera units 140 are located on opposite sides of the mounting arm 130. The side of the camera unit 140 with the camera is defined as the front, and the other side as the rear. A magnet is provided inside each camera unit 140. The two camera units 140 move closer to each other along the pivot 141 until their rear ends abut together. Under the attraction of the magnets within the camera units 140, the two camera units 140 are fixed together. A protrusion 142 is provided on the side of each camera unit 140 away from the pivot 141. The protrusion 142 is designed to facilitate the user's application of force, allowing the user to easily separate the two camera units 140 that are magnetically attached together by applying force to the protrusion 142. The rotation range of the pivot 141 on each camera unit 140 is limited to between 0 and 90 degrees. Therefore, when the two camera units 140 move closer or further apart, the angle between them can vary from 0 to 180 degrees. When the angle between the two camera units 140 is 0 degrees, the two camera units 140 are attracted together by magnets, suitable for single-camera shooting mode and dual-camera panoramic shooting mode; when the angle between the two camera units 140 is 180 degrees, the cameras on the two camera units 140 are on the same plane, suitable for dual-camera 3D space shooting mode.

[0038] In some embodiments, a first stabilizing motor is provided between the handheld frame 100 and the connecting arm 110 for rotating the connecting arm 110 relative to the handheld frame 100.

[0039] In some embodiments, the support arm 120 is U-shaped, and the middle section of the support arm 120 is connected to the end of the connecting arm 110 away from the handheld bracket 100 via a second stabilizing motor, which is used to make the support arm 120 rotate relative to the connecting arm 110.

[0040] In some embodiments, the mounting arm 130 is U-shaped, and the two ends of the mounting arm 130 are connected to the two ends of the support arm 120. A third stabilizing motor is provided at the connection between the mounting arm 130 and the support arm 120 to make the mounting arm 130 rotate relative to the support arm 120.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the connecting arm 110 is connected to the top of the handheld frame 100, and a first stabilizing motor is provided at the connection point. The first stabilizing motor can drive the connecting arm 110 to rotate along the Z-axis on the handheld frame 100. A U-shaped support arm 120 is provided at the end of the connecting arm 110 away from the handheld frame 100. A second stabilizing motor is provided at the connection point between the middle section of the support arm 120 and the connecting arm 110. A U-shaped mounting arm 130 is provided inside the support arm 120. The outer sides of both ends of the mounting arm 130 are connected to the inner sides of both ends of the support arm 120. A third stabilizing motor is provided at the connection point between the mounting arm 130 and the support arm 120. Since the camera unit 140 is mounted on the mounting arm 130, the camera unit 140 can rotate along the X, Y, and Z axes on the handheld frame 100 under the drive of the first, second, and third stabilizing motors. Specifically, when the handheld gimbal camera proposed in this application is in single-camera shooting mode or dual-camera 3D space shooting mode, the connecting arm 110, support arm 120, and mounting arm 130 will rotate and adjust accordingly based on the user's actual movement state, powered by the first stabilization motor, the second stabilization motor, and the third stabilization motor, respectively. This design ensures that the camera on the camera unit 140 remains stable regardless of the user's movement, thus capturing clear images. When the handheld gimbal camera proposed in this application is in dual-camera panoramic shooting mode, to ensure that the panoramic shooting perspective is not disturbed, the second and third stabilization motors can be locked, thereby keeping the support arm 120 and mounting arm 130 fixed. At this time, only the connecting arm 110 driven by the first stabilization motor can still move, allowing the camera unit 140 to rotate only along the Z-axis on the handheld stand 100. This design prevents the support arm 120 and mounting arm 130 from entering the shooting frame, avoiding the problem of perspective cutouts, thus ensuring the shooting quality and effect in dual-camera panoramic shooting mode.

[0042] In some embodiments, a display screen 150 is provided on the handheld holder 100, and there is an electrical connection between the display screen 150 and the camera unit 140.

[0043] In some embodiments, the handheld device 100 is also provided with a button 160 and a joystick 170, which are located around the display screen 150.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a display screen 150 is also provided on the handheld stand 100. The display screen 150 is electrically connected to two camera units 140 and is used to display the images captured by the camera units 140. Buttons 160 and joysticks 170 are also provided around the display screen 150 for controlling the handheld gimbal camera proposed in this application.

[0045] In summary, this application proposes a handheld gimbal camera. By rotating and mounting a connecting arm 110, a support arm 120, and a mounting arm 130 on a handheld frame 100, and movably arranging two camera units 140 on the mounting arm 130 that can move closer or further apart, the two camera units 140 can rotate along the X, Y, and Z axes on the handheld frame 100. Furthermore, the two movably arranged camera units 140 can close or expand, enabling the handheld gimbal camera proposed in this application to switch between three modes: single-camera shooting mode, dual-camera panoramic shooting mode, and dual-camera 3D spatial shooting mode. This allows users to flexibly choose the shooting mode according to their needs, thus diversifying the application scenarios of this application, providing users with more choices, and optimizing the user experience.
