Shoulder adapter system

Abstract

To improve the convenience and the comfort.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, a viewfinder can be stopped at any desired position with one-handed operation by means of a free-stop mechanism using a spring, without using a lock lever during normal operation. This enables easy change of the viewfinder angle even when the camera angle is changed quickly, and also allows the viewfinder position to be reliably fixed by the lock lever even during vigorous camera work.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a shoulder adapter mounting method for a video camera or a cinema camera, or to a lens support rod mounting method for an optical transmission device and a lens support rod for a lens. [Background technology]

[0002] When shooting with a video camera or cinema camera, a tripod mounting adapter can be fixed to each screw hole on the bottom, making it easy to remove the tripod. In addition to using the camera by attaching it to a tripod, another method is to carry the camera on the user's shoulder. Both methods are widely used, and shoulder adapters are designed to accommodate both, making them widely used for filming (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Design Registration No. 1403206 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, with the above-mentioned conventional technology, when moving the viewfinder from one angle to another, a series of actions must be repeated: loosening the lock knob, moving the viewfinder, and then tightening the lock knob. This causes the problem that it takes time to change the angle of the viewfinder itself, which is necessary to quickly change the camera angle for various scenes and take pictures. However, in recent years, lenses have tended to become larger and heavier in order to accommodate the trend toward higher definition images, such as 4K and 8K, and lens supporter rods may be required to reduce the strain on the camera joints. However, existing shoulder adapters do not have a mechanism for attaching or detaching a rod, and the object of the present invention is to improve the convenience of photography.

[0005] Based on the above circumstances, the present invention has been filed in order to improve convenience and comfort. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] According to the present invention, the following inventions are provided. [1] A shoulder adapter system that enables broadcast and movie cameras to be attached and detached to a broadcast-style tripod attachment, comprising a shoulder adapter body and a front mounting adapter, and allowing the camera to be attached to the camera at two points, either the front mounting adapter or the shoulder adapter, or either the front mounting adapter or the shoulder adapter, enabling shoulder-mounted style or tripod-detachable style. [2] A shoulder adapter system as described in [1], comprising an optical transmission device mounting adapter, the optical transmission device mounting adapter being attached to the shoulder adapter body so as to extend rearward of the shoulder adapter body, and an optical transmission device attached to the camera being attached to the optical transmission device mounting adapter. [3] A shoulder adapter system according to [2], wherein the optical transmission device mounting adapter has an air hole. [4] A shoulder adapter system according to any one of [1] to [3], wherein the front mounting adapter has a lens support rod mounting portion to which a lens support rod can be attached.

[Figure 2]FIG. 1 is an exploded side view of a shoulder adapter system according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shoulder adapter system according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] A shoulder adapter system according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0009] In the shoulder adapter system of this embodiment, the shoulder adapter A comprises a shoulder adapter main body Ab and a front mounting adapter Aa. The shoulder adapter main body is equipped with a shoulder pad Ac and a tripod attachment Ae. The camera B is attached using the mounting screw Ad. The mounting screw Ad is equipped on either the shoulder adapter Ab or the front mounting adapter Aa, and the camera B can be attached using either. When using the shoulder style, the user places the shoulder pad Ac on their shoulder, and when using it on a tripod, the tripod attachment Ae is used. Description of Claim 1

[0010] Camera B may have a camera-mounted optical transmission device C attached to its back. An optical transmission device mounting adapter Ag is attached using mounting screws Ad to fit the shape of the camera-mounted optical transmission device C, and the camera-mounted optical transmission device C and the optical transmission device mounting adapter Ag are then attached to the shoulder adapter main body Ab. The optical transmission device mounting adapter Ag is attached so that it extends to the rear of the shoulder adapter main body Ab. When using the shoulder-mounted style, the user places shoulder pad Ac on their shoulder, and when using it on a tripod, the tripod attachment Ae is used. Description of Claim 2

[0011] The optical transmission device mounting adapter Ag has an optical transmission device mounting adapter air hole Ag1, which assists in cooling the camera-mounted optical transmission device C. Description of Claim 3

[0012] The lens support rod mounting portion Aa1 in the front mounting adapter Aa is designed to mount a lens support rod Af. The lens support rod mounting portion Aa1 is compatible with cases where the hole shape is compatible with a φ19 lens support rod or a φ15 lens support rod, or where the lens support rod mounting portion Aa1 itself is not available and the lens support rod Af is not compatible.
