Universal dual-slot clamp base and photography kit

Abstract

A universal dual-slot clamp base and a photography kit. The universal dual-slot clamp base comprises a connection base, a position adjustment assembly, two first clamping arms, and a second clamping arm. During use, a Arca-compatible quick-release plate can be directly inserted into a first clamping space formed between the two first clamping arms for assembly. When the second clamping arm rotates to be perpendicular to the connection base, the second clamping arm, together with the first clamping arm on the side of the position adjustment assembly, can form a second clamping space, enabling a NATO-compatible quick-release plate on the side of a camera cage to be slidably inserted into the second clamping space for assembly. The universal dual-slot clamp base can accommodate and clamp quick-release plates of various specifications. When photographing on a tripod, portrait shooting can be achieved by directly mounting the NATO rail on the side of the camera cage onto the universal dual-slot clamp base, thereby avoiding the problems of the center of gravity of the tripod becoming imbalanced and the camera easily tipping over caused by rotating the tripod head 90 degrees for portrait shooting.

Description

Universal double-slot clamp seat and photography kit TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photography auxiliary equipment, in particular to a universal double-slot clamp seat and a photography kit. BACKGROUND

[0002] The development of video technology has added countless joys to the lives of ordinary people. Currently, some people like to shoot horizontal screen videos, and some people like to shoot vertical screen videos. The horizontal and vertical screen switching often needs to be realized by adjusting the installation position through the L plate of the camera or the camera rabbit cage. However, the bottom of the mainstream camera rabbit cage on the market is mostly the dovetail slot of the Arca standard, and the side of the rabbit cage basically gives up the dovetail slot of the Arca standard and adopts the small sliding slot of the Nato standard due to the reason that there are many camera connection ports. The existing photography clamp seat can only clamp the Arca quick mounting plate, and cannot clamp the small sliding slot of the Nato standard. Therefore, when the user uses the tripod to shoot vertically, the clamp seat can only be clamped at the bottom of the camera, and then the 90-degree rotating gimbal clamp seat is used to shoot the vertical screen. However, after the gimbal is rotated by 90 degrees, the tripod will be further inclined due to the offset of the center of gravity of the camera, which increases the risk of the tripod falling and brings hidden dangers to daily shooting. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a universal double-slot clamp seat and a photography kit. The clamp seat can clamp the dovetail slot of the Arca standard and the dovetail slot of the Nato standard. When the camera is vertically shot, the Nato sliding slot on the side of the camera rabbit cage is clamped on the double-slot clamp seat, so that the vertical shooting is realized, the efficiency of horizontal and vertical screen switching shooting of the camera is improved, and the tripod is prevented from falling due to the imbalance of the center of gravity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of the present application are specifically set forth in the following description. It should be understood, however, that the present application can be practiced in a variety of embodiments other than those specifically described, without departing from the scope of the present application. The description and drawings are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the present application in any way.

[0044] In the description of the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the structure referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0045] Please refer to figure 1 and figure 2, the present application provides a technical solution: a universal double slot holder, including adapter seat 1, position adjusting assembly 2, two first clamping arms 3 and second clamping arm 4. The bottom of adapter seat 1 can be connected with tripod and other support equipment through screws and other connecting parts, so as to facilitate the user to take pictures, and the top is used to support the camera.

[0046] The number of first clamping arms 3 is two, and the two first clamping arms 3 are in the shape of opposite arc or other shapes that can fix the camera. One of the two first clamping arms 3 is a fixed clamping arm, which is fixedly connected with the adapter seat 1, and the other is a movable clamping arm, which is slidably inserted into the side of the adapter seat 1. The two first clamping arms 3 are oppositely arranged and can form a first clamping space, which can adapt to the quick mounting plate of Arca or Manfrotto specifications (for clamping the quick mounting plate of large camera).

[0047] The second clamping arm 4 is rotatably installed on the adapter seat 1. Preferably, the second clamping arm 4 can rotate 0-120° relative to the adapter seat 1, more preferably, 90°. When the angle between the second clamping arm 4 and the adapter seat 1 is 0°, the Arca slot of the camera can be fixed by the two first clamping arms 3, as shown in figure 7. When the angle between the second clamping arm 4 and the adapter seat 1 is 90°, it can form a second clamping space that can accommodate the Nato specification dovetail slot with the first clamping arm 3 on the position adjusting assembly 2. The second clamping space can also adapt to the quick mounting plate of Arca and other specifications (clamping of small camera quick mounting plate). When assembling, only need to insert the Nato sliding slot on the side of the camera rabbit cage 10 into the second clamping space, can realize the vertical screen shooting, and can ensure the shooting stability of the camera, as shown in figure 8.

[0048] The position adjusting assembly 2 is detachably connected with the side of the adapter seat 1. The position adjusting assembly 2 is used to adjust the distance between one of the first clamping arms 3 (movable clamping arm) and the adapter seat 1 to form a space for accommodating the quick mounting plate of the camera. The distance between the first clamping arm 3 and the adapter seat 1 can be adjusted to realize the clamping or loosening of the quick mounting plate.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the adjusting assembly 2 comprises an abutting piece 22, an elastic piece 23, a connecting rod 24 and a rotating pusher 25. The adapter 1 is provided with a through hole for accommodating the connecting rod 24, which is preferably located in the middle section of the adapter 1. The abutting piece 22 is connected to the elastic piece 23. Under the pushing action of the rotating pusher 25, the abutting piece 22 can apply a force to the elastic piece 23 to shorten the distance between one of the first clamping arms 3 (movable clamping arms) and the adapter 1. When it is necessary to increase the distance between them, the elastic piece 23 will apply a reverse force to the abutting piece 22, which will drive the abutting piece 22 to move outward in the absence of the pushing force of the rotating pusher 25, thereby increasing the distance between the first clamping arm 3 and the adapter 1. Preferably, the adapter 1 is provided with a mounting hole for accommodating the abutting piece 22 and the elastic piece 23. Preferably, the abutting piece 22 and the elastic piece 23 are both provided with two pieces, and the two abutting pieces 22 are symmetrically arranged to provide positioning effect so that the abutting piece 22 will not deviate. The elastic piece 23 is located in the mounting hole of the adapter 1 and is used to buffer the abutting piece 22. Preferably, the elastic piece 23 can be a spring. One end of the connecting rod 24 is fixed to the adapter 1, which can be fixed by screws or other means such as threaded holes. The rod body of the connecting rod 24 passes through the outward first clamping arm 3 and is detachably connected to the rotating pusher 25. Specifically, it can be a threaded connection, which can drive the first clamping arm 3 to move forward / backward under the rotation of the rotating pusher 25. The rotating pusher 25 is located on the side of the abutting piece 22 away from the adapter 1. When it rotates forward, it can drive the first clamping arm 3 to move forward, and when it rotates reversely, it can drive the first clamping arm 3 to move backward, thereby adjusting the distance between the first clamping arm 3 and the adapter 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, a planar thrust bearing 26 is further sleeved on the connecting rod 24 between the rotating pusher 25 and the first clamping arm 3. When the user needs to adjust the distance between the first clamping arm 3 and the adapter 1, the planar thrust bearing 26 can push the first clamping arm 3 to move under the action of the rotating pusher 25, thereby reducing the friction between the rotating pusher 25 and the first clamping arm 3, making the tightening process smoother, more labor-saving, better in hand feeling and easier to rotate.

[0051] In some embodiments, referring to Fig. 6, the rotating push piece 25 comprises a rotating head 251 and a stop nail 253. A push hole 252 is formed in the rotating head 251 along the direction of the connecting rod 24, and the push hole 252 is preferably provided with internal threads, and the internal threads are connected with the threads on the connecting rod 24, so that the rotating head 251 can move forward and backward relative to the connecting rod 24. The stop nail 253 is detachably connected with the end of the connecting rod 24 away from the adapter 1, and preferably, a threaded hole is formed in the end of the connecting rod 24, so that the stop nail 253 can be connected therewith, and the rotating head 251 is located between the planar thrust bearing 26 and the stop nail 253. When the rotating head 251 moves to the maximum position, the rotating head 251 is clamped by the stop nail 253, so that it cannot continue to move, thereby ensuring that the rotating head 251 cannot come off the connecting rod 24.

[0052] In some embodiments, referring to Figs. 1-3, the adapter 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11, which is a concave groove body and can be rectangular in shape, and is used to accommodate the second clamping arm 4. The second clamping arm 4 is threadedly connected with a support 13 in the receiving groove 11 by a screw 12, so as to be rotatably mounted in the receiving groove 11. When the second clamping arm 4 forms an angle of 0° with the adapter 1, the second clamping arm 4 is in a straight line with the top of the receiving groove 11, so that the camera can be stably mounted on the adapter 1. When the second clamping arm 4 is rotated to be perpendicular, a second clamping space is formed with one of the first clamping arms 3, which can be used to clamp a small sliding groove of Nato specification.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Fig. 4, the second clamping arm 4 is provided with a hand holding groove 41 on the side close to the first clamping arm 3 mounted on the adapter 1, which can facilitate the user to rotate the second clamping arm 4.

The universal double-groove clamp seat 5 has the function of double-groove clamping, and can clamp both Arca specification quick mounting plates and Nato specification quick mounting plates, which is more practical.

[0055] The bottom of the universal double-groove clamp seat 5 for stabilizer is a quick mounting base 51 with dovetail groove insertion structure, which is fixed with the universal double-groove clamp seat by screws, and is used to be connected and mounted with a supporting device. Preferably, it can be connected and mounted on a DJI stabilizer. The bottom surface of the quick mounting base 51 has a quick connection groove 52, which is U-shaped, and the bottom surface of the quick connection groove 52 is provided with two adjacent edges, each of which is provided with an access port 53 in communication with the quick connection groove 52, so as to facilitate the clamping connection with the stabilizer.

[0056] Referring to FIGS. 12-15, the application also provides a photography kit, which comprises a spherical holder 6, and the clamp seat on the spherical holder 6 adopts the universal double-slot clamp seat as described above. In this embodiment, the universal double-slot clamp seat is connected to the ball of the spherical holder 6 by a screw, so that the spherical holder 6 has the function of double-slot clamping, and can clamp both the quick-mounting plate of the Arca standard and the quick-mounting plate of the Nato standard, which brings great convenience to vertical screen shooting, especially when shooting vertically on a tripod, the Nato sliding groove on the side of the camera rabbit cage 10 can be directly installed on the double-slot clamp seat to realize vertical shooting, without the need to rotate the holder by 90 degrees as in the traditional camera, thereby avoiding the safety hazard problem of the tripod losing balance of gravity and the camera being easily knocked down after the camera is rotated by 90 degrees.
