Motorized Mobile Holder With Foldable Tripod for Tracking Shots
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional cellphone holders for live streaming are inconvenient to carry and use due to their fixed angle, and follow-up gimbals require separate mechanisms, making them cumbersome for tracking shots.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device holder with a foldable tripod assembly, rotating base, motor, clamping assembly, handle assembly, camera lens, and electric control board that allows the device to be clamped and rotated for tracking shots, enabling accurate video recording while being compact and portable.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional cellphone holders for live streaming are used, then the structure is simple, but the device cannot follow moving livestreamers and is limited to fixed angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the gimbal mechanism and cellphone holder into a single integrated device. The rotating base with motor-driven tracking capability is merged with the clamping assembly that holds the cellphone, eliminating the need for separate mechanisms while providing both tracking functionality and secure device mounting
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating base serves multiple functions: it provides the structural foundation for mounting, houses the motor for tracking movement, supports the clamping assembly for securing the cellphone, and enables panoramic rotation for following livestreamers. This multi-functional design achieves tracking capability without proportionally increasing complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If follow-up gimbals with tracking features are used, then tracking capability is improved, but the device requires separate cellphone holding mechanisms making it inconvenient to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the cellphone clamping function directly into the gimbal structure. The clamping assembly is mounted on the rotating base, combining two previously separate functions (tracking and holding) into one unified device, thereby improving portability by eliminating the need for separate mechanisms
3Adaptability or versatility
If a rotating base with motor is added for tracking, then the device can follow moving subjects, but the weight and size increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a motor-driven rotating base that dynamically adjusts its position to follow moving livestreamers. The motor provides controlled rotation capability, enabling the device to adapt to movement while maintaining a compact structure that minimizes weight increase compared to heavier mechanical gimbals
