Camera Grip External Rotating Connection to Reduce Wear
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current camera grips experience significant wear and loosening in the rotating structure between the grip and connecting arm due to prolonged use, leading to jamming and impeded smoothness, which affects the service life.
Innovation Solution
A camera grip design featuring a detachable member with a second rotating connection part that can rotate and lock with a first rotating connection part, positioned outside the handle, reducing the moment of gravity and minimizing wear by situating the connection outside the handle, and incorporating a limiting assembly for adjustable and fixed-angle shooting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a rotatable connecting arm is used to facilitate adjustment of shooting angles, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to significant wear and loosening of the rotating structure
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting arm is divided into a first connecting arm integrated with the camera grip and a second connecting arm separately attached to the shooting device. This segmentation allows the rotating connection to be positioned outside the handle, reducing wear on the internal rotating structure and improving reliability while maintaining ease of operation for angle adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
A rotating connection structure is introduced as an intermediary between the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm. This intermediary component enables smooth rotation for angle adjustment while the separate second connecting arm reduces the moment of gravity on the rotating structure, minimizing wear and improving reliability.
2Device complexity
If the rotating structure is positioned inside the handle, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability deteriorates due to jamming and impeded smoothness
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating connection structure is extracted from the internal handle area and repositioned to the external connecting arm area. This extraction reduces the moment of gravity acting on the rotating structure, minimizing wear and preventing jamming, while the overall device complexity remains manageable through modular integration of the first and second connecting arms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a detachable member with rotating connection parts is used, then the adaptability is improved for adjustable and fixed-angle shooting, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable member with rotating connection parts serves multiple functions: it enables angle adjustment through rotation, provides fixed-angle shooting capability through the limiting assembly, and allows detachable attachment to different shooting devices. This multi-functionality achieves high adaptability while the modular design keeps the increase in device complexity manageable.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a camera grip and a shooting auxiliary kit aimed at addressing the technical issue of jamming and impeded smoothness in the rotating structure between the camera grip and a connecting arm. The camera grip includes a handle, a connector, featuring a first end and a second end disposed opposite each other, as well as a detachable member. The first end of the connector attaches to the handle, while the second end has a first rotating connection part, situated away from the handle. One end of the detachable member is equipped with a second rotating connection part. The second rotating connection part rotates relative to and locks with the first rotating connection part. The first rotating connection part and the second rotating connection part are rotatably connected. The opposite end of the detachable member is designed to connect to a shooting device.
