Shoulder-Mounted Camera Support for Stable Mobile Shooting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional camera stands are cumbersome, heavy, and lack stability during mobile shooting, leading to picture blurring and reduced image quality due to inadequate multi-point fixation.
Innovation Solution
A shouldering type photographing support with a main frame, a shouldering assembly, and a supporting assembly that includes chest, arm, and handheld components, providing multiple points of support and ergonomic design for improved stability and convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a traditional tripod is used to provide stability, then the camera stand is stable, but the structure becomes huge and heavy, making it unsuitable for mobile shooting
Solution Approach 1:
The support system is divided into multiple independent support points including a shouldering assembly and multiple supporting assemblies (chest, arm, handheld, supporting leg), where each component can be independently adjusted or removed based on shooting needs, allowing the system to provide stable support when needed while remaining lightweight and portable when disassembled
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from traditional ground-based tripod support to multi-dimensional body-mounted support by attaching the shouldering assembly to the photographer's shoulder and supporting assemblies to various body parts, adding vertical and lateral support dimensions that were previously provided only by the ground
2Weight of stationary object
If a portable stand fixed on the waist or body is used to reduce weight, then the camera stand becomes lighter and mobile, but the structure becomes cumbersome and the photographer must turn their head aside for framing
Solution Approach 1:
The shouldering assembly is specifically positioned on the shoulder rather than symmetrically on the waist or back, and the connecting base is offset from the main frame axis, creating an asymmetric configuration that naturally positions the camera at the photographer's eye level, eliminating the need to turn the head aside while maintaining lightweight portability
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional camera stands are used for mobile shooting, then portability is improved, but multi-point fixation cannot be realized, resulting in picture flutters and blurring
Solution Approach 1:
The support system is segmented into multiple independent supporting assemblies (chest, arm, handheld, supporting leg) that can be selectively activated to provide multi-point fixation during mobile shooting, preventing picture flutters while maintaining the portability needed for mobile photography
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting assemblies are designed to be dynamically adjustable and removable, allowing the photographer to configure the number and position of support points based on specific shooting conditions, providing optimal stability for mobile shooting while maintaining lightweight portability when supports are removed

AI summary
A shouldering type photographing support is provided, comprising a main frame for coupling components, on which at least one connecting base for fixing a lens or camera is provided; a shouldering assembly connected to the main frame, wherein the shouldering assembly being provided on a side of one end of the main frame and not in the same axis as the connecting base, and the shouldering assembly being located in the left rear or right rear of the at least one connecting base; and a supporting assembly connected to the main frame, wherein the supporting assembly comprises a chest-supporting assembly, arm-supporting assembly, handheld assembly and supporting leg assembly, the shouldering assembly and the supporting assembly together provide supporting at multiple points for the main frame.
