Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of camera brackets, specifically a combination bracket for adjusting the height and angle of a camera and a fill light. Background Technology

[0002] In a wide range of applications, including photography, videography, live streaming, video conferencing, and even on-site interviews, cameras and fill lights are two indispensable core devices for obtaining clear, high-quality images. In existing equipment support solutions, cameras and fill lights typically rely on their own independent supports—such as camera tripods and light stands—for fixation and adjustment.

[0003] This traditional "separate" support mode has several inherent drawbacks: First, two independent supports occupy more floor or table space, which is particularly cramped in limited indoor spaces or compact live broadcast workbenches, affecting the layout and personnel movement. Second, when shooting needs change and the camera framing angle and fill light direction need to be adjusted simultaneously, the user must perform cumbersome independent operations on the two supports. This is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also makes it difficult to accurately and quickly achieve an ideal match between the light angle and the composition. This separate architecture fundamentally leads to low adjustment efficiency, and in situations where frequent and rapid changes in shooting positions and lighting effects are required, it is difficult to stably maintain the optimal spatial position and illumination angle relationship between the camera and the fill light.

[0004] To address this issue, those skilled in the art have proposed a combined bracket for adjusting the height and angle of the camera and the fill light. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a combined bracket for adjusting the height and angle of the camera and the fill light, thereby solving the problem that existing separate brackets cannot efficiently and synchronously adjust the relative position and angle of the camera and the fill light.

[0006] A combined bracket for adjusting the height and angle of a camera and a fill light includes a base frame, a camera support rod, and a fill light support rod. The camera support rod and the fill light support rod are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base frame. A camera top bracket and a fill light top bracket are fixedly mounted on the upper side of the camera support rod and the fill light support rod. Telescopic components are provided inside the camera support rod and the fill light support rod. A universal joint is installed at the front of the camera top bracket and the fill light top bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the telescopic component includes a lifting rod slidably disposed inside the camera support rod, and an adjusting bolt is threaded on the side wall of the support rod, one end of which extends into the camera support rod and is threaded therewith.

[0008] Preferably, a universal joint is fixedly installed on the front side of the camera mount and the fill light mount, and is connected to the fill light and the camera through the joint. The fill light and the camera are movably connected to the universal joint through a fastener.

[0009] Preferably, a stainless steel pad is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base frame.

[0010] Preferably, suction cups are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the stainless steel pad.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the adjusting bolt has anti-slip texture on its outer surface.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model allows for angle adjustment of the camera and light by mounting them on a universal joint shaft. Simultaneously, the camera and light can be further adjusted using the lifting rod and adjusting bolts of the support. These two adjustment methods make adjusting the angle and height of the camera and light more convenient and effective, without requiring the entire bracket to be rotated. This method of simultaneously fixing the camera and light is beneficial for photographing experimental results in the laboratory, greatly reducing errors between each photograph.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0021] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4As shown: This utility model provides a combined support for adjusting the height and angle of a camera and a fill light, including a base frame 1, a camera support rod 2, and a fill light support rod 3. The camera support rod 2 and the fill light support rod 3 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base frame 1. A camera top bracket 4 and a fill light top bracket 5 are fixedly mounted on the upper side of the camera support rod 2 and the fill light support rod 3. Both the camera support rod 2 and the fill light support rod 3 have telescopic components inside. A universal joint 6 is installed at the front of both the camera top bracket 4 and the fill light top bracket 5. The universal joint 6 allows the camera or fill light mounted on it to rotate freely and lock in multiple directions, such as up and down and left and right. This allows the user to adjust the height and angle according to shooting needs. The camera's framing angle and the fill light's illumination angle can be flexibly adjusted to achieve optimal composition and lighting effects. A damper is installed within the universal joint shaft 6; this damper can be a friction plate type. The ball joint in the damper is connected to the mounting base of the camera or fill light, and the ball cup is fixed to the camera's top mount or fill light's top mount to accommodate the ball joint. The friction plate is located between the contact surfaces of the ball joint and the ball cup, and is typically made of engineering plastics, rubber, or composite materials. The preload adjustment mechanism is controlled by a knob or bolt. Tightening this mechanism compresses the ball cup, increasing the clamping force on the ball joint and the friction plate, thereby increasing damping (friction); conversely, loosening it reduces damping. This allows users to personalize the damping tension according to the weight of the device (camera or fill light) to provide a controllable coefficient of friction. The damping provides moderate and uniform friction when the user adjusts the angle of the camera or fill light, allowing the user to rotate smoothly and steadily, avoiding "nodding" or sudden drooping caused by excessive looseness. This enables precise fine-tuning and improves stability. Once the angle is adjusted to the correct position, the user can release their hand, and the static friction provided by the damping is sufficient to overcome the gravitational torque of the camera or fill light itself, thus reliably locking it at the current angle without the need for additional, separate locking steps or tools, ensuring stability during shooting.

[0022] Preferably, the telescopic component includes a lifting rod 7 slidably disposed inside the camera support rod 2. An adjusting bolt 8 is threaded onto the side wall of the support rod, with one end of the adjusting bolt 8 extending into and threaded into the camera support rod 2. The lifting rod 7 is slidably housed within the camera / light support rod 3. By pulling or pushing back the lifting rod 7, the height of the camera or light above the ground can be continuously and steplessly changed to adapt to the height requirements of different shooting scenarios. After adjustment, tightening the adjusting bolt 8 will press against and secure the internal lifting rod 7, preventing it from sliding under gravity or external force and ensuring height stability.

[0023] Furthermore, a universal joint shaft 6 is fixedly installed on the front side of the camera mount 4 and the fill light mount 5. The fill light and the camera are connected through the joint shaft. The fill light and the camera are movably connected to the universal joint shaft 6 through a fastener. The fastener can be a bolt connection or a clip installation, etc. With this setting, the angle of the camera and the fill light can be adjusted as needed, and the light can be replaced as needed. It can be a fill light or an ultraviolet light, etc.

[0024] As shown above, when using the device, first place the combined support on a stable table or ground. The user then pinches the adjusting bolts 8 on both the camera support rod 2 and the fill light support rod 3 (using their anti-slip texture 11) and loosens them counterclockwise. Next, independently pull or press the lifting lever 7 inside the camera support rod 2 to adjust the camera to the desired shooting height. Similarly, independently pull or press the lifting lever 7 inside the fill light support rod 3 to adjust the fill light to the desired lighting height. Once the height is determined, tighten both adjusting bolts 8 clockwise, using the ends of the bolts to press against the internal lifting lever 7, firmly locking it at the current height. At this point, both the camera and the fill light achieve independent and stable height positioning.

[0025] When it is necessary to adjust the fill light and shooting angle, the user can hold the camera and fill light directly with their hands. Through their connection with the ball joint of the universal joint 6, they can freely tilt up and down and rotate left and right until they find the best shooting angle and lighting angle. After adjustment, the damping set inside the universal joint 6 will lock it in the current position to ensure that the device angle will not change during shooting.

[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a stainless steel pad 9 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base frame 1 to enhance the stability of the base frame 1.

[0027] Preferably, suction cups 10 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the stainless steel pad 9. The suction cups 10 are installed at the four corners of the base frame 1 and are strong adsorption and fixing devices. When the bracket is placed on a smooth surface (such as glass or ceramic tabletop), negative pressure is formed inside the suction cups 10 by pressing, which can generate a strong adsorption force, greatly enhancing the stability of the bracket and effectively preventing slippage or tipping. The outer surface of one end of the adjusting bolt 8 is provided with anti-slip texture 11. The anti-slip texture 11 increases the friction when the finger contacts the bolt, making the operation of tightening and loosening the bolt more effortless and convenient, and improving the user experience.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, when the bracket needs to be placed on a very smooth surface (such as a glass coffee table), or when it may be accidentally touched during shooting, the requirement for stability is even higher. At this time, the stainless steel pad 9 provides a hard and flat base, while the suction cups 10 at the four corners become the main means of fixation. The user needs to ensure that each suction cup 10 is clean and in full contact with the surface, and then press down hard on the entire bracket to expel the air inside the suction cup 10, forming a vacuum adsorption, which provides a fixation effect far exceeding that of ordinary friction. After ensuring that the base 1 is strongly fixed by the suction cups 10, the subsequent height adjustment (via the lifting rod 7 and adjusting bolt 8) and angle adjustment (via the universal joint shaft 6) process is exactly the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
