Camera Grip Guide-Rail Mount for Adjustable Camera Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current camera grips lack the functionality to adjust the position of photographic equipment, limiting user comfort and flexibility during shooting.
Innovation Solution
A camera grip equipped with a guide rail and a connecting arm that can slide along the rail, secured by a locking component, allowing adjustable positioning of the equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the camera grip uses a fixed structure to hold the camera, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the position adjustability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed connection structure into a movable one. The connecting arm can slide along the guide rail to adjust the camera position, and the locking component allows it to be fixed at desired positions. This dynamic structure enables position adjustability while maintaining structural simplicity through the use of a straightforward sliding and locking mechanism.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the connecting arm can slide freely along the guide rail, then the position adjustability is improved, but the positioning stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The locking component implements the dynamics principle by allowing the connecting arm to transition between movable and fixed states. When adjusted to the desired position, the locking component engages with the guide rail to secure the connecting arm, providing stable positioning. This dynamic locking mechanism resolves the contradiction between adjustability and stability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a locking mechanism is added to secure the connecting arm, then the positioning stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking component is designed to be operable by the user without requiring additional tools or complex mechanisms. The user can easily lock and unlock the connecting arm at desired positions along the guide rail. This self-service design minimizes the complexity of the locking mechanism while achieving stable positioning.

AI summary
The present disclosure introduces a camera grip and a camera auxiliary device to address the issues of adjusting the position of photographic equipment on the camera grip. The camera grip includes a grip body, a connecting arm, and a locking component. The grip body is fitted with a guide rail. The connecting arm has a first end and a second end, with the first end mounted on the guide rail and movable along the guide rail, and the second end configured for attaching photographic equipment. The locking component is located at the first end of the connecting arm. In the unlocked position, the connecting arm can slide along the guide rail; when in a locked position, the connecting arm is fixed on the guide rail.
