Description

Handheld electronic stabilizer

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of shooting and shooting auxiliary equipment, in particular to a handheld electronic stabilizer.

Background

With the development of intelligent technology, image capture (for example, shooting with a camera or the like) is gradually becoming a preference of many people, and the requirement of a photographer (operator) on the shooting effect is also increasing. In general, the operator can obtain a desired imaging effect in a stationary state. However, since image capture is a continuous dynamic image recording process, optical image signals are continuously converted into electrical signals for storage or transmission or post-production during the entire image capture. Once the photographer is required to make a large amplitude exercise of walking, jumping, running, etc. in some occasions, the photographing effect is often unsatisfactory. The conventional handheld electronic stabilizer for assisting a camera device such as a stability-increasing mobile phone or a camera mostly adopts a three-axis stability-increasing cradle head to compensate for micro jitter in the shooting process.

Therefore, in the prior art, an electronic stabilizer is used as an auxiliary tool of a shooting device, the electronic stabilizer generally has at least two shafts, each shaft has a corresponding motor for driving and adjusting a rotation position, once a balance relation of a camera is damaged, a central processing unit analyzes signals fed back by sensors such as a gyroscope, an acceleration and a magnetic field in the stabilizer, and a correction signal is formed through a corresponding correction algorithm to control the motors to finally achieve an effect of correcting the balance position.

For example, in patent application publication No. CN107255901A, a straight-handle camera stabilizer is proposed, which comprises a hand-held part 1, a fixed frame 4, a steering device 2 and a control device, which are connected in sequence from bottom to top, wherein a human-machine interface for a user to operate the control device is provided near a joint position of the hand-held part 1 and a connecting rod 21 of the fixed frame 4. Such a camera stabilizer can achieve a satisfactory stabilization effect, but since a heavy component (for example, a single lens reflex camera) carried by the camera stabilizer is located far above the hand of the user, the center of mass of the heavy component such as the single lens reflex camera will be located in front of the hand-held portion when the user is carrying the mirror accordingly. Further, since the handle of the stabilizer is designed to be a straight handle, since a load of heaving motion of heavy parts is applied to the user's hand holding the handle through the handle during the motion photographing of the hand-held stabilizer, it is liable to cause a relative displacement between the handle and the user's hand, and thus the user is required to apply a greater gripping force to grip the stabilizer. As a result, the user has to make additional effort to hold the camera-mounted stabilizer in a fixed orientation, and using the hand-held camera stabilizer described above is both tiring and uncomfortable, which hinders the widespread use of the camera stabilizer.

As an attempt to improve the single application scenario and the poor user experience of the handheld stabilizer, in patent application publication No. CN111656078A, a connecting device of a straight-handle stabilizer is proposed, wherein the connecting device 100 includes a side plate assembly 10 for detachably connecting to a handle body of the straight-handle stabilizer and a handle assembly 20 detachably mounted to the side plate assembly 10, wherein the handle assembly 20 can be rotated and held at different positions of the side plate assembly 10 to support multiple use modes of the straight-handle handheld stabilizer and/or adapt to multiple use postures of the handheld stabilizer. Wherein a two-hand mode for high-position photographing is shown in fig. 11 of the patent application document and a hand-held mode suitable for moving photographing in close proximity in a narrow space is shown in fig. 12. Here the side plate assembly 10 is connected to the operating portion 50 of the straight shank stabilizer proximate one end of the head so that the handle assembly 20 and the operating portion 50 are positioned on the same side or opposite sides relative to the side plate assembly 10. It will be appreciated that this patent document only shows one possible way of assisting the straight shank stabilizer to achieve the static hand-held function, but in use the following disadvantages are found:

1. static hand-held performance is not satisfactory, and particularly, in the case of the above stabilizer-loaded camera, whether the handle assembly 20 is located forward (and the operating portions 50 are respectively located on opposite sides of the side plate assembly) or rearward (and the operating portions 50 are respectively located on the same side of the side plate assembly) with respect to the axis O5 of the side plate assembly 10, the user needs to be considerably offset from the axis O5 passing through the center of gravity of the entire camera when performing a comfortable hand-grip. In other words, the point of application of force of the wrist on which the user bears the load and the handle body to transmit the force to the stabilizer are misaligned, which makes it difficult for the user to easily and laborsavingly carry the photographing apparatus in a posture comfortable to hold it with his hand.

2. The dynamic hand-carrying performance is poor, particularly, because the side panel assembly 10 in this document is disposed at an upper position of the body portion. Since the handheld stabilizer often needs to be turned, raised or tilted down (i.e., rotated around its internal fixed point) to ensure that the lens of the photographing device always follows the photographed object when the handheld stabilizer assists in photographing the sports, the user often needs to rotate around the fixed point where the user is located at the upper position to meet the needs when the handheld stabilizer is carried by the user. As a result, since the point of application of external force to the hand-held stabilizer and its load is too close to the upper position of the body portion rotating as a fixed point, the user needs a larger force to rotate the hand-held stabilizer and the load at the fixed point, and the labor-saving experience is not good. And because the distance between the force application point and the fixed point is small, even if the wrist of the user rotates by a small angle, the wrist of the user can rotate by a large angle (the lens jumps, which affects the smoothness of shooting).

3. When the holder motor of the stabilizer carries a heavy load, motor vibration may occur due to situations such as inaccurate leveling by a user, or overrun carrying load, and when the side plate assembly 10 is disposed at an upper position of the body portion, the vibration may be directly and obviously transmitted to the user.

All of the above will reduce the user experience of the portable mode.

In view of this, those skilled in the art are directed to a handheld electronic stabilizer that overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art.

Disclosure of Invention

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a handheld electronic stabilizer, by means of which the disadvantages of the prior art described above are overcome.

In order to accomplish the above task, the present invention provides a handheld electronic stabilizer, which is adapted to assist a camera to shoot, and comprises: an electronic stability augmentation device with at least one stability augmentation motor configured to carry a camera and electronically augment stability of the camera in response to an attitude of the camera; a frame connected to the electronic stability augmentation device, comprising: a fuselage portion, wherein a cavity capable of accommodating an electrical component is defined in the fuselage portion, wherein the fuselage portion is oriented substantially the same as the axis of rotation of a stability-enhancing motor accommodated at one end of the frame; wherein a bail allowing a user to manually operate the handheld electronic stabilizer is further included, wherein the bail has a connecting end and a free end, wherein the connecting end of the bail is attachable to the other end of the housing remote from the stability enhancing motor and the free end extends in a generally horizontal direction beyond the stability enhancing motor received at the one end of the housing when the user manually operates the handheld electronic stabilizer.

Thus, in distinction from the prior art, the present invention provides an ergonomic design that is completely different from the prior art hand-held approach by attaching the lifting bar to the other end of the fuselage section, remote from the upper position, and allowing the free end of the lifting bar to extend in a generally horizontal direction beyond the stability-enhancing motor when the user is operating the hand-held electronic stabilizer hand-held in hand. According to the ergonomic design of the invention, the static hand-held performance and the dynamic hand-held performance of the handheld electronic stabilizer and the working stability of the stabilizer can be obviously improved, so that better user experience is provided for users, and the competitiveness of products is improved.

In a preferred embodiment, the lifting bar is designed to allow the free end to extend right above the stability-increasing motor accommodated at one end of the machine frame when the user operates the handheld electronic stabilizer in a handheld manner. Thereby, various benefits of the ergonomic design can be more advantageously enhanced.

In a preferred embodiment, the frame further comprises a grip portion, which is oriented substantially the same as the fuselage portion, next to the stabilizing motor connected to the electronic stabilizing device, wherein the grip portion comprises a cavity at the top to accommodate at least a part of the stabilizing motor and a connecting portion at the bottom, wherein the fuselage portion is connected to the grip portion. Thereby allowing the user to also hold the electronic stabilizer in a more labor-saving and comfortable manner.

In a preferred embodiment, wherein the housing of the handheld electronic stabilizer is arranged in the following manner: when the handheld electronic stabilizer assists the shooting device to shoot and the frame is in the inclined position, the projection of the integral gravity center of the handheld electronic stabilizer and the shooting device to the horizontal direction falls in the area of the holding part. Therefore, the proportion and the arrangement of all the components of the handheld electronic stabilizer are reasonably distributed, so that the user is allowed to generate no obvious static moment which is obviously perceived by the user under various holding modes. This allows the user to easily operate a heavy or even overweight camera without the user having the undesirable experience of heavy burden and arm fatigue, while still allowing the user to perform a stable mirror-moving in a single hand-held manner. Meanwhile, the handheld electronic stabilizer has a simple structure and a compact integral base body, so that the handheld electronic stabilizer is easy to manufacture at low cost and convenient for a user to carry, store and use.

In a preferred embodiment, a base is further included which is connected to the fuselage section, and a base is further included which is connected to the other end of the fuselage section, wherein the orientation of the base is designed to be at an angle, preferably in the range of 80 to 90 degrees, with respect to the orientation of the fuselage section, wherein the connecting end is attached to the base. Thereby allowing for a reasonable distribution of the specific gravity and placement of the components of the handheld electronic stabilizer.

In a preferred embodiment, a control unit for sending a control signal to the electronic stability augmentation device according to the posture of the shooting device and at least one interactive piece for receiving external input operation are arranged in the base. Thus, by providing the components expected to be heavier in weight in the handheld electronic stabilizer within the base, an optimized configuration of the specific gravity and arrangement of the components of the handheld electronic stabilizer is better achieved to allow a user to perform a stable mirror movement in a single hand-held manner. Meanwhile, the interaction piece is arranged, so that the user can operate the device conveniently by one hand.

In a preferred embodiment, the external surface of the base is detachably connected with an external display unit with adjustable posture, wherein the external display unit can be adjusted to face the user during shooting of the handheld electronic stabilizer auxiliary shooting device. Thus, the exo unit allows the user to operate the interactive element with an idle finger while maintaining the visual sense, so that the user can check the photographing effect with full attention during photographing.

In a preferred embodiment, further comprising an adapter connectable to the other end of the fuselage section, wherein the adapter is configured to allow attachment of the lifting bar to a counterweight of the frame. Thereby, a functional diversification and an improved versatility of the hand-held stabilizer can be achieved in a low-cost manner.

In a preferred embodiment, the adapter is further capable of being connected or connected with a brace that allows a user to support the user while holding the fuselage portion of the hand-held electronic stabilizer. Thereby, the user experience during use can be better ensured.

In a preferred embodiment, the lifting bar is telescopic and its angle relative to the fuselage section of the handheld electronic stabilizer is adjustable. Thus, by optimizing the arrangement of the lifting bar and the overall weight distribution and arrangement of the handheld electronic stabilizer, a user is allowed to easily operate in a handheld mode without the user significantly experiencing the twisting force or jitter. Further, the user is allowed to operate the handheld electronic stabilizer in a more labor-saving and more accurate manner.

Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following, or may be learned from the practice of the invention.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary aspects of a handheld electronic stabilizer in accordance with the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are provided to present embodiments of the invention, but the drawings are not necessarily to scale of the particular embodiments, and certain features may be exaggerated, removed, or partially sectioned to better illustrate and explain the present disclosure. The position of some components in the drawings can be adjusted according to actual requirements on the premise of not influencing the technical effect. The appearances of the phrase "in the drawings" or similar language in the specification are not necessarily referring to all of the drawings or the examples.

Certain directional terms used hereinafter to describe the drawings, such as "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", and other directional terms, will be understood to have their normal meaning and refer to those directions as they relate to when viewing the drawings. Unless otherwise indicated, the directional terms described herein are generally in accordance with conventional directions as understood by those skilled in the art.

The terms "first," "second," and the like, as used herein, do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another. Where the expression "substantially horizontal" allows a reasonable range of angular deviation from horizontal without being absolutely parallel to horizontal.

Some embodiments of the invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

Referring initially to fig. 1, a handheld electronic stabilizer 10 is shown as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 is capable of allowing a user to easily operate a heavy or even overweight camera without the user's adverse experience of heavy burden and arm fatigue, while at the same time allowing the user to perform a stable mirror-playing in a single-handed manner. Further, the handheld electronic stabilizer according to the present invention has a simple structure and a compact integral body, and thus is easy to manufacture at low cost and convenient for a user to carry, store and use.

As an example, the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 according to the invention is suitable for assisting a camera 20, preferably a cinematograph, which may be for example a cinematograph camera weighing more than 2 kg and available commercially under the trade name honglong for shooting. An important consideration for selecting a handheld electronic stabilizer 10 as an auxiliary camera device for users of such heavy cameras is to have good operability and comfort while achieving good stability enhancement, particularly to allow the user to conform to the user's usage habits and to minimize the user's operational difficulties during the mirror-moving.

To this end, the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 shown here by way of example comprises an electronic stability augmentation device 30 shown in fig. 1 to 2 and a chassis 40 connected to the electronic stability augmentation device 30, where the electronic stability augmentation device 30 can carry a camera device 20 by means of a load board and electronically stabilize the camera device in response to the position of the camera device 20. Specifically, the electronic stability augmentation device 30 herein includes a three-axis pan head capable of stabilizing the photographing device 20 in three directions of pitch, roll, and heading by means of a plurality of stability augmentation motors, wherein the three-axis pan head includes three stability augmentation motors, a pitch motor 31 capable of rotating along a pitch axis, a roll motor 32 capable of rotating along a roll axis, and a heading motor 31 capable of rotating along a heading axis, respectively. Specifically, the attitude information of the camera 20 may be acquired by means of an attitude acquisition unit (such as, but not limited to, an IMU or a gyroscope) provided on a load board or fixedly connected to the camera 20, and then the attitude information may be solved by means of a control unit to obtain an attitude change of the camera 20 in the space, and control signals respectively transmitted to the tilt motor 31, the roll motor 32, and the heading motor 33 may be derived from the attitude change and be correspondingly operated to maintain the camera 20 at a certain position in the space. Here, the rotation axis of the heading motor 33 and the rotation axis of the roll motor 32 form a non-right angle of 60 ° to 70 °. Since the operation of the three-axis pan/tilt head is not the gist of the present invention and the control manner thereof is well known to those skilled in the art, it will not be described herein.

Although the electronic stability enhancement device according to the invention is described herein in terms of a three-axis head, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the use of a two-axis head is also feasible.

The housing 40 of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 will first be described below in non-limiting manner with reference to fig. 1-3.

As shown in fig. 1, as a preferred aspect of the present invention, the housing 40 of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 preferably includes a grip portion 41 immediately adjacent to the electronic stability augmentation device. The specific structure of the grip portion 41 is better illustrated in the exploded view of fig. 3. Wherein the holding portion 41 comprises a circular cavity 411 at the top 413 capable of accommodating at least a portion of the heading motor 33 of the electronic stability augmentation device 30, wherein in particular the depth of the cavity 411 is designed to be substantially equal to the height of the stator portion of the heading motor 33, so that the heading motor 33 can be integrally accommodated in the holding portion 41 of the housing 40, while only the rotor portion of the heading motor 33 is exposed substantially flush with the top surface of the cavity 411, so as to allow only the rotor portion of the heading motor 33 for driving the connecting arm to rotate to protrude outside the holding portion 41, and the vertical distance between the holding portion 41 and the heading motor 33 of the electronic stability augmentation device 30 and even the center of gravity of the photographing device 20 carried by the heading motor 33 is effectively shortened by such an overlapping design, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the burden on the user when in use, as will be further described below.

It should be noted that although the stator portion of the heading motor 33 is described herein as being fixedly received within the grip portion 41 of the housing 40 and the rotor portion of the heading motor 33 is connected to the rotatable connecting arm (i.e., the motor is positively mounted), those skilled in the art will appreciate that it is possible to receive the heading motor 33 in a retro-fit manner within the grip portion 41 of the housing 40, and that retro-fitting the heading motor will enable further compactness of the hand-held electronic stabilizer since the rotor portion of the heading motor 33 can be designed to be more compact than the stator portion.

Further, the grip portion also includes a connecting portion 414 at the bottom, wherein the connecting portion 414 is designed to connect with the fuselage portion 42 of the airframe 40 as described below, whereby the connecting portion 414 at the top 413 and bottom defines a grip area that allows a user to grip the hand-held stabilizer. In a preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the grip portion 41 is designed to be gradually enlarged from the connecting portion 414 toward the top 413 (in a bottom-up direction in fig. 1 and 3) so that the outer surface of the grip portion 41 can serve as a positioning curved surface to be fitted to a hand shape. In this context, the cross-sectional area refers to the area enclosed by the outer contour of the grip portion 41, wherein the cross-section is the cross-section of the grip portion 41 along a plane perpendicular to the direction of the grip portion 41 from the connection portion towards the top 413.

As will be understood by those skilled in the art, since the cross-sectional area of the holding portion 41 is gradually enlarged in the bottom-up direction, which is significantly different from the prior art straight-shank type handle in which the cross-sectional area in the direction from the bottom toward the top is designed to be substantially uniform, the design may cause a user to easily feel fatigue when holding the handle of the stabilizer, because the lengths of five fingers of the user are different, for example, the loop defined by the middle finger located at the upper position and the loop defined by the small finger located at the lower position are not uniform, and if the handle of the stabilizer is designed to be uniform in the cross-sectional area in the upper-lower direction, the middle finger may encircle the handle while the small finger may not completely encircle the handle at the same time, thereby causing the user to easily feel fatigue when holding the handle. Therefore, in order to conform to the shape of the human body when holding the hand, the grip of the present invention adopts a gradually expanding design of the sectional area along the direction from bottom to top, which makes the user have better comfort and more reliable when holding the grip 41.

In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the grip portion 41 is designed to be gradually enlarged in a direction from the connecting portion 414 of the free portion 31 toward the top connecting portion 413 (i.e., in a direction from the bottom to the top). In other words, the cross-sectional area of the grip portion 41 in the direction from the bottom to the top is gradually increased, thereby allowing the outer surface of the grip portion 41 to serve as a positioning curved surface conforming to the shape of a hand. The specific increase in the cross-sectional area of the grip portion 41 is set according to actual needs, and this embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.

Due to the grip portion 41 having the divergent design, a positioning curved surface conforming to a hand shape can be formed on the outer surface of the grip portion 41. This increases the area of the user's hand that fits the grip portion 41 when gripping, and effectively reduces the required gripping force of the hand while obtaining the same amount of friction to prevent displacement of the grip portion 41 relative to the user's hand, which allows the user to grip with less effort. Further, since the positioning curved surface is gradually enlarged (large at the top and small at the bottom), the positioning curved surface can protect the hand of the user from moving towards the connecting arm of the cradle head which can rotate above the top, so that the risk that the user crosses the holding part 41 due to the overweight when holding the stabilizer 10 and is hit by the connecting arm of the cradle head can be effectively avoided, and the safety of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 in the using process is effectively improved.

In addition, the heading motor is arranged in the holding part 41, so that the self weight of the rack is increased, the inertia of the rack 40 is improved, the vibration of the rack 40 during the motion shooting is smaller, the relative displacement between the holding part 41 and the hand is further prevented, and on the other hand, the gravity center of the tripod head can be as close as possible to or even fall into a holding area when the user holds the handheld electronic stabilizer 10, so that the wrist of the user can stably hold the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 without bearing larger torsion, and the fatigue of the user during use is remarkably reduced.

Further preferably, as shown in fig. 3, the positioning curved surface of the holding portion 41 is designed to have an inner curved surface smoothly transitioning to the top surface of the cavity 411, so that no seam is generated between the holding portion 41 and the three-axis pan/tilt head carried thereby due to size change, thereby causing a risk of scratching the hand of the user and a problem of poor evaluation of product quality and appearance. It is further preferred that the curvature of the intrados (arranged adjacent to the top) is greater than the curvature of the rest of the positioning curved surface, i.e. the entire positioning curved surface is curved to a greater extent in the section adjacent to the top, which makes this section less dominant in the overall height of the grip 41, thus further reducing the distance between the user gripping area and the center of gravity of the head device, making it more labour-saving for the user to grip. And the bending degree of other sections of the positioning curved surface is small, so that the manufacturing difficulty and the cost of the holding part 41 are reduced, and the overall curve of the holding part 41 is smoother. The specific difference of the bending curvatures is set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

It is further preferred here that the grip portion 41 is designed, for example, to be approximately oval in cross-section, which conforms to the palm of the user's hand, in order to facilitate gripping with one hand of the user. In order to increase the friction between the palm of the user and the grip portion 41, an anti-slip texture or a friction pad may be provided on the outer circumferential surface of the grip portion 41. Meanwhile, at least one interactive element 412 for receiving an input operation of a user is preferably arranged adjacent to the grip portion 41, where the interactive element 412 arranged at the right side of the grip portion 41 in fig. 1 is, for example, a stick, so as to allow the user to operate the electronic stabilizer 10 with a free finger while holding the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 with a single hand, which is helpful for improving the user experience.

In fig. 1, a fuselage portion 42 integrally connected to a connecting portion 414 of a grip portion 41 is provided below the grip portion 41, wherein the fuselage portion 42 is designed to have substantially the same orientation as the grip portion 41. For example, when the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 shown in fig. 1 is in the upright posture, the body portion 42 is located directly below the grip portion 41. As a possible way, the holding portion 41 and the fuselage portion 42 may be made in one piece by injection molding, wherein the fuselage portion 42 is also designed to be hollow, so as to define a cavity 421 (see fig. 3) in the fuselage portion 42, which can accommodate an electrical device, including but not limited to a power supply 422, such as a battery, and also a control portion of the electronic stability augmentation device 30, such as powered by the power supply 422. It will of course be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the gripping portion 41 and the fuselage portion 42 may also be made separately and then assembled together by means of a snap-fit or screw connection.

It should be noted that, although the grip portion 41 is provided in the frame 40 in order to facilitate a user to operate the electronic stabilizer 10 more comfortably and comfortably, such a design is not necessary or necessary. Alternatively, and as will be appreciated from the following, it is equally feasible to house the stability-enhancing motor, which in this embodiment is the heading motor 33, directly on top of the fuselage portion 42 of the airframe 40, where the orientation of the airframe 40 or fuselage portion 42 is designed to be substantially the same as the orientation of the axis of rotation of the heading motor 33 housed within the airframe, which design also provides an ergonomic design over existing designs.

Further, in fig. 1, a pedestal 43 connected to the fuselage portion 42 is included, wherein the pedestal 43 is designed, for example, substantially in the shape of a truncated cone and is oriented at an angle in the range of, for example, 80 degrees to 90 degrees with respect to the orientation of the fuselage portion 42. In fig. 1, for example, the angle is 90 degrees. On the upper surface or top surface of the base 43, an external display unit 432 such as an OLED screen is detachably connected in a nested manner, wherein the external display unit 432 can be pivoted in a nested portion of the base 43 to allow a user to adjust its own posture (corresponding to the angle of the base 43), which allows the external display unit to be adjusted to face the user during photographing by the handheld electronic stabilizer-assisted photographing device (see, for example, fig. 4). At least one interactive member 431 for receiving an external input operation, for example, from a user is provided on the base 43 adjacent to the external unit 432, and the interactive member 431 may be, for example, a knob, a button, a wheel, or the like. Also, a control unit or the like may be included in the base 43, for example, to input a control signal of a user via the interactive member 431 to derive a control signal for the electronic stability increasing apparatus 30 to read. In order to facilitate interaction with the outside, a plurality of electrical interfaces including an audio interface and a charging port may be further provided on the base 43.

As will be better understood in conjunction with the following description, the design of the base 43 according to the present invention will provide at least the following benefits: the proportion of each component of the handheld electronic stabilizer can be reasonably distributed, so that a user can not generate obvious static moment which is obviously sensed by the user in various holding modes; the exo unit allows the user to operate the interactive member 431 with a free finger while maintaining the visual sense, so that the user can check the photographing effect with full attention during photographing.

In order to allow the handheld stabilizer to be used in a variety of mirror movements, it further comprises a lifting bar 44 detachably connected to the base 43, wherein the lifting bar 44 is connected to the base 43, for example, in a pivoting manner, so that the lifting bar 44 is telescopic and its angle with respect to the body part 42 of the handheld electronic stabilizer is adjustable, which allows a user to operate the handheld stabilizer in a handheld mode. Specifically, where the lifting bar 44 has a lower connecting end 44 attachable to the base 43 and a free end 44b extending opposite the connecting end 44 for being held by a user, as described in detail below, in the carry mode, the free end 44b can extend in a generally horizontal direction beyond the received heading motor 33 or grip portion 41 (if any) of the body portion 42 of the frame 40, and further preferably can allow the free end 44b to extend directly above the received heading motor 33 or grip portion 41 (if any) in the carry mode.

Optionally, the base 43 is further provided with at least one interface 433 on the underside for engagement, for example, by a tripod or the like, which allows a user to rest the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 on a desktop or other work surface with the aid of a tripod when it is temporarily deactivated. Further, the interface 433 can also be designed to connect a required accessory (such as a plug-in battery) to the base 43 of the handheld electronic stabilizer through the interface 433, which not only prolongs the service life of the handheld electronic stabilizer, but also further functions as a weight increasing function, which allows a user to save more labor when holding the stabilizer with one hand. Preferably, the base 43 is further provided with a V-shaped slot at the bottom, which can be used for clamping with a foot stand or a backup battery with a V-shaped buckle.

The components of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 according to the present invention are better illustrated in the exploded view of fig. 3, and will not be described in detail herein since they have been described in detail above.

The use of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 according to the present invention will be further described with reference to fig. 4a to 6, whereby the performance difference of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 of the present invention from the existing handheld electronic stabilizer can be self-evidently demonstrated.

Fig. 4a shows a use configuration of a handheld electronic stabilizer 10 according to the invention, which may be a follower mirror, for example. The follow-up mirror refers to a lens moving along with a subject (e.g., a person) and a user can follow up shooting from the front and back directions of the person, but the user needs to keep the same moving speed as the subject and pay attention to safety under the feet. When the lens is moved with following, it is often necessary to tilt the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 forward at an angle of 30 to 44 degrees from the vertical direction, for example, in accordance with the height of the photographic subject to obtain a satisfactory angle of view of the lens.

Here, when the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 shown in fig. 4a assists the photographing device 20 to perform photographing and the stand 40 is in the forward tilting position, the photographing device 20 and the electronic stabilizing device 30, the body part 42 and the built-in electric devices, and the base 43 and the external unit 432 thereof are expected to be the heaviest components at this time. Wherein the photographing device 20 and the electronic stabilizing device 30 have a center of gravity in front of the grip portion 41 (see the first center of gravity line G1 in fig. 4a), and thereby generate a counterclockwise moment about the grip portion 41 (as shown in fig. 4 a). The fuselage portion 42 and the built-in electric devices as well as the base 43 and its external unit 432 have a centre of gravity behind the grip portion 41 (see the second centre of gravity G2 in fig. 4 a). They thereby exert a clockwise moment about the grip portion 41. This overlapping design effectively shortens the vertical distance between the grip portion 41 and the heading motor 33 of the electronic stabilizer 30 and even the center of gravity of the camera 20 carried by the grip portion 41 due to the overlapping of the heading motor 33 of the electronic stabilizer 30 within the grip portion 41, so that although the camera 20 and the electronic stabilizer 30 would be very heavy components, it is still possible for the counter-clockwise moment they generate around the grip portion 41 to be balanced by the moment generated by other components of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 (such as, but not limited to, the body portion 42 and the built-in electrical devices as well as the base 43 and its external unit 432, etc.). That is, the general weight distribution of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 is in a dumbbell-shaped distribution of "heavy ends, middle grab".

Thus, it is possible to position the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 such that, when following the mirror-motion, the projection of the overall center of gravity of all the components of the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 to the horizontal direction (i.e., the left-right direction in fig. 4a) falls within the grip region (defined by the connecting portion 414 of the top 413 and bottom of the grip 41) of the grip 41, thereby causing the overall static force distance around the grip 41 to approach or be substantially zero. The overall center of gravity of handheld electronic stabilizer 10 is thus located in the area of grip portion 41, so that when a user holds handheld electronic stabilizer 10 with a hand, handheld electronic stabilizer 10 balances about a point in the area of grip portion 41, and at this time, the user only needs to try to find the balance point several times to easily keep the balance of handheld electronic stabilizer 10 in a single-hand manner, which greatly reduces the burden on the user in the case of an overweight load, and at this time, control of the stabilizer can also be achieved by the user operating, for example, interactive element 412 near grip portion 41 with the remaining fingers on grip portion 41. Since the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 is substantially gravity-balanced, it does not easily topple or shake back and forth during the auxiliary photographing, which advantageously ensures the photographing effect of the photographing device 20. And since the grip 41 is in close proximity to the heaviest component camera, the user's hand gripping the grip 41 in the tilted position, such as shown in fig. 4a, is the most labor-efficient way of holding.

Further, as shown in fig. 4a, due to the orientation of the base 43, the external display unit 432 is facing the user's view angle during the shooting of the inclined auxiliary shooting device, the user can focus on the external display unit 432 in a direct visual manner during the sports shooting, and since the user observes the external display unit 432 in a top view angle, even if the user performs the sports shooting outdoors, the user is allowed to scan the road surface ahead while focusing on the external display unit 432, which well ensures the safety of the user's feet during the shooting. Since the external display unit 432 is provided, it is not necessary to additionally install a monitor, a monitor bracket and other devices on the handheld electronic stabilizer 10, which reduces the overall weight of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10, and reduces the purchasing cost of the user and the number of parts to be carried when the user goes out for shooting.

From the above, it can be seen that a user will get a good user experience during the follow-up mirror with the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 of the present invention: such as ease of holding with one hand, substantially no forward or backward shake of the lens, ensuring that attention is always focused on the picture effect of shooting, and improving safety under the feet during shooting by the user, which are significantly different from the conventional handheld electronic stabilizers in performance.

Fig. 4b to 6 show a further use of the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 according to the invention, which may be, for example, a low-angle mirror, independently of the features shown in fig. 4a (for example, a rational assignment of the specific weight and arrangement of the individual components of the hand-held electronic stabilizer) or in combination with the features shown in fig. 4 a. The low-angle mirror moving means that the lens shoots the shooting subject under the condition of low angle. To save more effort when shooting at low angles, a lifting bar 44 is added in fig. 4b and 6 to allow the user to operate the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 in a "hand-held" mode in a low-flexion position. When taking such a "handheld" use posture for shooting, any part of the pan/tilt head 30 is far away from the body (particularly the legs) of the user to avoid injury caused by unintended contact, and therefore, the handheld use posture is applicable to shooting with the pan/tilt head 30 following the steps of the user, close-to-ground movement in a narrow space, and the like.

In the prior art, the handle bar is connected to the upper position of the fuselage portion when the electronic stabilizer is carried by using the "hand-carrying" mode. As described above, when shooting at a low angle, if the weight of the shooting device is large, the portable device of the portable type described in the background art has disadvantages such as unsatisfactory static portable performance and poor dynamic portable performance. And if the tripod head motor and the like rotate to stabilize the shooting device, the reaction force in the tripod head motor is directly transmitted to the lifting rod which is positioned at the upper position of the body part, so that the user is given obvious shaking feeling, the user is forced to use the other hand to inhibit the shaking, and the hands of the user cannot be liberated.

Fig. 4b shows the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 in a handheld mode, wherein the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 is equipped with a camera. As shown, the user may first adjust the position of the free end 44b of the lifting bar 44 by adjusting the telescopic length of the lifting bar 44 such that the free end 44b extends in a generally horizontal direction beyond the received heading motor 33 or gripping portion 41 (if any) at least in the carry-on mode (the horizontal direction is left-right in fig. 4 b). Thus, the user can find the holding point near the free end 44b with only a few trial-and-error while carrying out static hand-carrying, so that the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 can be easily held in balance in a single-hand-carrying manner, which significantly reduces the burden on the user in case of an overweight load. This can be attributed at least to the fact that the free end 44B extends beyond the grip 41 as a centre of rotation (corresponding to the overall centre of gravity, see grip area B in fig. 4B) where tilting is possible, so that the force exerted by the user can substantially coincide with this centre of rotation. This allows the user to easily and laborsavingly carry the camera in a comfortable hand-held posture, since the misalignment between the point of application of force and the center of gravity of the whole is eliminated.

Further, when the mirror needs to be operated in a hand-held manner, the connecting end 44a of the lever 44 is attached to the other end of the body part 42 away from the upper end in the present invention (see the body part distal end region c of fig. 4B), unlike the prior art in which a hand piece is directly attached to the upper position of the body part (which may be, for example, the grip region B in fig. 4B). Since the connecting end 44a of the lever 44 is moved from the region B near the center of rotation of the fuselage portion itself to the fuselage portion distal end region c far from the region B in the present invention, the distance of the point of application of force to the fuselage portion 44 by means of the lever 44 is significantly increased, which allows the user to rotate the hand-held stabilizer 10 and the photographing device 20 at a fixed point with less force, the labor saving experience is good and, as described below, the smoothness during rotation is also improved. The description will be better clarified below in connection with fig. 6-8.

Further, as shown in fig. 4B, by means of the fact that the lifting bar 44 of the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 according to the present invention moves down from the upper position (area B) of the body part to the side (area C) of the base 43 located distally of the body part 42, unlike the prior art, on the one hand, this moves the lifting bar significantly away from the pan/tilt motor 32, which is the source of the torsional force, so that the user does not significantly feel the torsional force or the shaking, and on the other hand, due to the rack arrangement of the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 according to the present invention, i.e., having a certain weight along both the body part 42 and the base 43, can be used to overcome the rotational inertia generated by the pan/tilt motor. If the lifting bar 44 is attached to the area B as in the prior art, the moment of inertia provided by this attachment is at most the product of the weight of the handheld camera 10 and the square of the distance k. If the attachment of the present invention is used, the moment of inertia is provided as the product of the weight of the handheld camera 10 and the square of the distance K. Since the distance K is significantly greater than the distance K, it is possible to overcome a larger shake of the pan head motor, and the filtering performance for a small shake of the pan head motor is excellent. Therefore, the user does not feel a noticeable shaking feeling when using the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 with the lifting bar 44, so that the user can carry the electronic stabilizer 10 by one hand to carry out low-angle mirror motion.

As shown in more detail in fig. 5 to 6, the lifting lever 44 is designed here as an extendable lever with a certain inclination, wherein it can be flexibly adjusted depending on the weight of the camera 20. The tilt angle of the lift lever 44 is designed such that the user's grip position on the lift lever 44 is substantially in the region directly above the grip portion 41 to avoid generating unnecessary tilting moment.

Further, as can be seen from the above description, when the rack is tilted in the handheld mode, the overall center of gravity of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 according to the present invention generally falls within the area of the grip portion 41, wherein the free end 44b of the lifting bar 44 can extend directly above the grip portion 41 in the handheld mode. If the handle is disposed at the upper position of the body (i.e. in the area of the holding portion 41 or in the area adjacent to the holding portion 41, such as the area B in fig. 4B) in the prior art, the user needs to move the wrist to apply a torque force to the handheld electronic stabilizer by means of the handle when the handheld stabilizer needs to be moved quickly to capture a picture. Since the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 is generally rotated with the overall center of gravity as a pivot point, the connecting portion of the lifting bar and the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 is located too close to the overall center of gravity, which causes a large torsion force to be applied to the user's wrist for moving heavy loads, which may cause a large burden on the user's wrist. Further, the point of application of force is too close to the overall center of gravity as a pivot point, so that the lens is moved by a certain angle even if the wrist of the user is slightly shaken, which increases the difficulty of the user in accurately adjusting the lens movement angle. As a result, users with less experience often find that the shot is not smooth enough when moving the shot, which disadvantageously increases the cost and difficulty of post-editing.

In contrast, as shown in fig. 6, since the lever 44 is moved down from the upper position of the body portion to the side of the pedestal 43 located on the far side of the body portion 42, the distance between the lever 44 and the overall center of gravity of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 is significantly increased, and the distance D1 between the connecting portion of the lever 44 and the overall center of gravity is shown here as an example. In other words, as the user's wrist rotates to apply a rotational force to handheld electronic stabilizer 10, the moment arm of the rotational force from the overall center of gravity as a pivot point increases significantly, which allows the user to rotate handheld electronic stabilizer 10 at an angle in the counterclockwise direction or the clockwise direction without applying an excessive torque force, thereby alleviating the problem of an excessive burden on the user in the handheld mode. Further, due to the scissors effect of the long arm, the user needs to rotate the lifting rod 44a wider distance to rotate the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 to the desired angle, which is advantageous for filtering the effect of the hand shake of the user (especially the inexperienced user) on the angle of the lens, so that even the inexperienced user can smoothly rotate the lens to ensure the quality of the shot picture.

In particular, in fig. 7 and 8, respectively, a top view is shown, on the basis of fig. 6, turned in a counterclockwise direction or in a clockwise direction by a certain angle in the portable mode. As shown in fig. 7, when the forward-located photographic subject moves to the left side of fig. 7, the photographing device 20 needs to be moved to the left side quickly for the pursuit photographing, which means that a counterclockwise torque needs to be applied to the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 to pivot it about its entire center of gravity by an angle a (the angle a is an angle between the longitudinal axis L in the neutral position of fig. 6 and the longitudinal axis L1 in the left-turn position of fig. 7). Since the distance D1 between the connecting portion of the lifting bar 44 and the overall center of gravity is significantly increased in the present invention, the user only needs to apply a small force by means of the lifting bar 44 to drive the camera device 20 and the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 to rotate counterclockwise by the angle a. Further, since there is a distance D1 between the connection portion of the lifting lever 44 and the center of gravity of the whole, the photographing device 20 and the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 are driven to rotate counterclockwise to the angle a only when the lifting lever 44 is moved by a distance D1 × sin (a) in the left-right direction of fig. 7. This means that even if a user with a poor experience accidentally shakes a certain amount in the left-right direction of fig. 7, the image pickup device 20 is not noticeably shaken in a noticeable manner, which effectively reduces the demand for the user experience. Even a user who newly uses the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 according to the present invention can achieve satisfactory results with little training, and the difficulty of the hands is significantly reduced. Further, since the distance in the left-right direction is significantly increased, this allows the user to act at a nearly constant speed, thereby making the rotation of the photographing device 20 smoother, which ensures that high-quality image quality can be always photographed during the motion photographing, reducing the cost and expense of the post-processing.

As shown in fig. 8, when the forward-located photographic subject moves to the right side of fig. 8, the photographic device 20 will also be moved to the right rapidly, which means that a clockwise torque is applied to the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 to pivot it about its entire center of gravity by an angle a' (which is the angle between the longitudinal axis L in the neutral position of fig. 6 and the longitudinal axis L2 in the right-turn position of fig. 8). Since the distance D1 between the connecting portion of the lifting bar 44 and the overall center of gravity is significantly increased in the present invention, the user only needs to apply a small force by means of the lifting bar 44 to rotate the camera 20 and the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 clockwise by the angle a'. Further, since there is a distance D1 between the connection portion of the lifting lever 44 and the center of gravity of the whole, when the lifting lever 44 is moved by a distance D1 si, (a) in the left-right direction of fig. 8, the camera 20 and the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 are driven to rotate clockwise to the angle a. This means that the advantageous technical effects that can be achieved in fig. 7 can also be achieved when the hand-held electronic stabilizer 10 is rotated clockwise, which will not be described in detail here.

Further, as another preferred mode of the present invention, an adapter 5 adaptable to the handheld electronic stabilizer of the present invention is shown in fig. 9-10 as an alternative to the base 43, wherein the adapter 5 is configured to adjustably connect the bail 44 to the frame 40 of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10. Specifically, the adapter 5 includes a main body configured to substantially conform to the cross-sectional shape of the fuselage portion 42 of the frame 40, gear discs 51 on either side of the main body, and shoes (optional) below the main body. Wherein the weight of the body is designed to be comparable to the weight of the base 43 to effect a rational distribution of the specific gravity and arrangement of the components of the handheld electronic stabilizer.

Further, the toothed disc 51 on both sides of the main body may be designed as a circular tooth surface, wherein the tooth surface is formed with a plurality of first teeth arranged at intervals, and a first tooth slot is formed between two adjacent first teeth, and each first tooth slot may be a clamping position. Correspondingly, an engaging surface capable of engaging with the coupling surface is provided at the end of the lifting rod 44, wherein the engaging surface is also formed with a plurality of second teeth arranged at intervals, and each second tooth may be an engaging portion. When the lifting lever 44 is attached to the toothed plates 51 on both sides of the main body, the second teeth on the lifting lever 44 can be received in the first teeth grooves as one engaging position, and the lifting lever 44 is engaged with the toothed plates 51 on both sides of the main body, so that the lifting lever 44 can be reliably held at a desired position. When the same second tooth is received in a different first tooth slot, the lifting bar 44 can be held in a different position relative to the same adapter 5; in other words, each of the engaging portions as the second teeth can be engaged with one engaging position, and when the same engaging portion is engaged with a different engaging position, the lever 44 can be rotated relative to the adapter and can be held by the adapter 5. Further, since the plurality of first teeth are equally spaced around the entire circumference of the toothed plate 51, each second tooth can be received in the first tooth groove at any position on the circumference, so that the lifting bar 44 can rotate in a range of 0 ° to 360 ° with respect to the adapter 5 and can be held on the adapter 5. Further, since the toothed plates 51 are symmetrically provided at both sides of the body, it is convenient for a user to arbitrarily switch the attachment manner of the lifting bar 44 as desired.

Preferably, shoes 53a and 53b are provided under the body of the adapter 5 to allow the adapter 5 to further expand in functionality. As a practical matter herein, there is also provided a brace 6 that allows a user to easily hold the hand-held stabilizer 10 during use of the hand-held stabilizer 10. Referring specifically to fig. 11 a-11 b, the bracketing 6 includes a body generally designed in a T-shape, a support surface 62 at one end of the body, and a plurality of runners 61 extending from the support surface 62 toward the opposite end. In use, a user may insert and grip the shoes 53a and 53b provided under the body of the adaptor 5 into the slideway 61 of the brace 6, thereby fixedly attaching the brace 6 to the chassis of the hand-held stabiliser 10. If the user now holds the grip portion 41, which is connected to the electronic stabilizing device 30, for example, in a vertical manner, the user can rest his elbow on the support surface 62 with ease, resulting in a good use experience for the user. Due to the arrangement of the plurality of sliding ways, the distance between the supporting surface 62 and the frame 40 of the handheld stabilizer 10 can be adjusted to adapt to the elbow positions of different users, which on one hand helps to enrich the functions of the adapter and on the other hand helps to improve the user experience.

It is emphasized that although the use of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 according to the present invention is exemplarily described in fig. 4-6 with the following mirror and the low-angle mirror, respectively, it is to be noted that the use of the handheld electronic stabilizer 10 of the present invention for other mirror movements, such as, but not limited to, the horizontal mirror movement and the top mirror movement, etc., is also feasible.

Rather, the invention can be modified by incorporating any number of variations, alterations, substitutions or equivalent arrangements not heretofore described, but which are commensurate with the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, while various embodiments of the invention have been described, it is to be understood that aspects of the invention may include only some of the embodiments.
