Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic gimbal technology, and in particular to a multi-axis rotating shooting gimbal. Background Technology

[0002] Throughout the development of photography and videography equipment, the flexibility of shooting angles has always been a key factor influencing user experience and creative possibilities. With the increasing popularity of personal short video creation, live-streaming e-commerce, and outdoor travel documentation, users' demand for shooting equipment that can rotate from multiple angles and in all directions is becoming increasingly prominent.

[0003] Traditional shooting aids have significant limitations in angle adjustment:

[0004] 1. Ordinary selfie sticks can only achieve limited angle adjustment through manual stretching or simple folding, and cannot achieve continuous rotation. In addition, they require frequent manual operation during shooting, making it difficult to balance shooting content and equipment adjustment.

[0005] 2. Early fixed brackets were mostly designed with a single axis of rotation, which could only achieve unidirectional rotation in the horizontal or vertical direction, resulting in a narrow coverage area. When shooting moving subjects, it was easy to lose the perspective.

[0006] In practical applications, these limitations cause numerous inconveniences: when traveling outdoors, users find it difficult to simultaneously capture people and panoramic scenery with a fixed-angle device; in live streaming scenarios, the device cannot quickly follow the streamer's movement to maintain a frontal shot; when filming family gatherings, manually adjusting the angle can easily result in missing fleeting moments. Furthermore, existing devices lack sufficient rotation smoothness, and stuttering and shaking are common when switching angles, leading to decreased image stability and impacting content quality.

[0007] Therefore, developing a gimbal that supports omnidirectional rotation and flexible multi-axis adjustment is key to solving the angle limitations of existing equipment. It can significantly improve shooting flexibility and scene adaptability, and meet users' needs for multi-angle creation in diverse scenarios.

[0008] Against this background, the present invention proposes a new technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0049] This utility model provides a multi-axis rotating shooting gimbal, such as Figures 1 to 13 As shown, it includes the gimbal 10;

[0050] The support body 50 is connected below the gimbal 10, and the gimbal 10 can rotate on the support body 50 in the horizontal direction;

[0051] The connecting structure 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the gimbal 10;

[0052] The clamping structure includes a clamping base plate and a clamping assembly 40 disposed on the clamping base plate. The clamping base plate is hinged to the connecting structure 20 and can swing back and forth and pitch about the hinge point as the axis and can stop when swinging to any angle. The clamping assembly 40 is used to clamp photographic equipment and can rotate in a circular motion on the clamping base plate.

[0053] The handle 60 is hinged to the side of the connecting structure 20, and can pitch relative to the connecting structure 20 and stop when rotated to any angle;

[0054] The clamping base plate and handle 60 can be flipped to fit against the support body 50.

[0055] When in use, the photographic equipment (such as mobile phones, cameras, etc.) is clamped onto the clamping component 40. It can be used handheld, with the hand holding the handle 60. The angle of the photographic equipment can be adjusted by rotating the clamping component 40 according to the shooting angle (such as horizontal, vertical, or angled), rotating the gimbal 10 to adjust the angle of the photographic equipment, and flipping the clamping base plate to adjust the angle of the photographic equipment (such as shooting straight, shooting from above, or shooting from below). Alternatively, the angle between the handle 60 and the gimbal 10 can be adjusted by rotating the handle 60. Alternatively, it can be used as a stand. The stand body 50 is fixed to a plane (it can be placed vertically, magnetically fixed, or gripped by claws, etc.), and then the photographic equipment (such as mobile phones, cameras, etc.) is clamped onto the clamping component 40. Similarly, the angle of the photographic equipment can be adjusted by rotating the clamping component 40, rotating the gimbal 10, flipping the clamping base plate, and rotating the handle 60 according to the shooting angle.

[0056] This invention provides two usage modes: the support body 50 and the handle 60. It offers four adjustment methods—rotating the clamping component 40, flipping the clamping base plate, rotating the gimbal 10, and flipping the handle 60—to adjust the shooting angle, meeting diverse shooting needs in different scenarios. The gimbal 10 is ingeniously designed, easy to operate, and highly adaptable, providing a stable and flexible shooting experience for outdoor sports, indoor live streaming, and professional photography. Its compact overall structure allows the clamping base plate and handle 60 to be folded and attached to the support body 50 when not in use, facilitating carrying and storage and further enhancing user convenience.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown in 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12, the clamping base plate includes a clamping panel 30. A bent connecting fork 31 is connected to the end of the clamping panel 30. The bent connecting fork 31 is hinged to the connecting structure 20, and a locking shaft passes through the connection between the two. During adjustment, the fixed relationship between the bent connecting fork 31 and the connecting structure 20 is first loosened by the locking shaft. Then, the clamping panel 30 is flipped over, and the bent connecting fork 31 rotates at its end at the connecting structure 20. After adjusting to a suitable angle, it is locked by the locking shaft.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown in 5, 6, 7, and 9, an installation step 32 is provided on the end face of the clamping panel 30. The clamping assembly 40 is rotatably mounted on the installation step 32. The clamping assembly 40 rotates through a damped rotating shaft structure, and can rotate axially to any angle. After stopping, it will not loosen due to the damping effect, thus ensuring the stability of the angle after rotation.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the clamping assembly 40 includes a clamping plate 41. Hollow slots 42 are respectively formed on the left and right sides of the clamping plate 41. A left clamping plate 43 and a right clamping plate 44 are rotatably connected within the hollow slots 42 on both sides. Both the left clamping plate 43 and the right clamping plate 44 can be flipped up to expose themselves above the hollow slots 42 and stand facing each other, or flipped up and hidden within the hollow slots 42. During clamping, the left clamping plate 43 and the right clamping plate 44 are flipped up and upright, clamping the photographic equipment between them. A torsion spring is provided at the bottom rotatable connection of the left clamping plate 43 and the right clamping plate 44. After the photographic equipment is removed, the left clamping plate 43 and the right clamping plate 44 immediately spring back and flip back into the hollow slots 42 under the action of the torsion spring.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 11 As shown, the gimbal 10 is rotatably connected to the support body 50 via a rotating structure 70. The rotating structure 70 includes a fixed sleeve 71, a rotating head 72, and a rotating motor 73. The fixed sleeve 71 is fixedly connected to the top of the support body 50, the rotating head 72 is fixed to the fixed sleeve 71, and the rotating motor 73 is mounted on the rotating head 72. The head of the rotating motor 73 is fitted into the inner cavity of the gimbal 10 from bottom to top, and the output part of the rotating motor 73 passes through the rotating head 72 and the fixed sleeve 71 and is then snapped and fixed to the support body 50. During rotation, the rotating structure 70 with the rotating motor 73 drives the gimbal 10 to rotate on the support body 50.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 ,2 As shown in Figures 5, 8, 10, 12, and 13, a control motherboard and a camera 61 are mounted on the handle 60. The camera 61 and the rotary motor 73 are respectively linked to the control motherboard, and the control motherboard controls the rotation direction of the rotary motor 73 based on the feedback from the camera 61. Here, the camera 61 has a human body tracking function. Based on the human body tracking feedback, it controls the rotary motor 73 to rotate, which drives the gimbal 10 to rotate. The handle 60 follows the rotation of the gimbal 10 to keep the human body following.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 5, 8, 10, 12, and 13, a device sleeve is provided on the handle 60, and a remote control 62 that can be removed or placed inside the device sleeve is provided. Here, the rotary motor 73 can also be controlled according to the remote control 62.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 As shown, the support body 50 includes a support rod, which comprises an outer sleeve and an inner rod 52. The inner rod 52 is a telescopic structure. During use, the support height can be adjusted by telescopically extending the inner rod 52.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 , 13 As shown, the outer sleeve includes a fixed sleeve 51 disposed on the top of the support rod, and a plurality of support frames 53 hinged to the lower end of the fixed sleeve 51. The plurality of support frames 53 are arranged around the outer periphery of the inner rod 52. The support frames 53 can be flipped outward and tilted to support the outer side of the inner rod 52, or folded inward and vertically parallel to the outer side of the inner rod 52.

[0065] In this embodiment, the upper end of the support frame 53 is hinged to the lower end of the fixed sleeve 51. When in use, the support frame 53 is opened outward so that the support frame 53 is inclined and supported on the outside of the inner rod 52. Multiple support frames 53 are circumferentially supported on the outer periphery of the inner rod 52, ensuring the stability of the support.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 , 13As shown, a bottom fixed end 54 is provided at the bottom of the inner rod 52, and a plurality of inner support rods 55 are hinged to the bottom fixed end 54. Under normal conditions, the inner support rods 55 extend vertically from bottom to top and are flat against the outer end face of the inner rod 52. Under the action of external force, they can be flipped outward to support and abut against the inner end face of the support frame 53. An elastic pressing device 56 is provided at the outer end of the bottom fixed end 54. After being pressed, the elastic pressing device 56 can act on the hinge between the inner support rod 55 and the bottom fixed end 54 to drive the inner support rod 55 to flip outward with the hinge as the axis.

[0067] In this embodiment, the inner support rod 55 and the support frame 53 are linked. When support is needed, pressing the elastic pressing device 56 causes the inner support rod 55 to flip outward around the hinge. As the upper end of the inner support rod 55, away from its hinge, opens outward, it also pushes the support frame 53 outward. When the support frame 53 is fully opened and supported on the plane, the inner support rod 55 also abuts against and supports the inner end face of the support frame 53. The inner support rod 55 is designed so that all the inner support rods 55 and the support frame 53 can be opened with a single press, and it also provides an internal support structure for the support frame 53.

[0068] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
