Abstract

PURPOSE:To photograph efficiently without restrictions due to an air region, a ground form, or the like, by controlling a photographing device which is suspended from a supporting member suspended from a balloon by a remote controller. CONSTITUTION:Detaining tools 3 are attached to both sides of the body part of a balloon 1, and a supporting member 4 is supported in the horizontal direction and is suspended from detaining tools 3. Detaining tools 7 are attached to the lower side of the supporting member 4 on the bow side of the balloon 1, and one ends of anchoring ropes 8 of detaining tools 7 are connected, and the other ends of anchoring ropes 8 are wound up around a take-up drum 9. The height of the balloon 1 is adjusted by anchoring ropes 8. A through hole 10 in the vertical direction is formed in a position toward the back from the middle part in the supporting member 4, and this through hole 10 is used to suspend a photographing device 12 by a suspending member 11. The suspending member 11 is provided with joints 13 and 14 which are turned in two-dimensional directions. The object grasped by a monitor TV camera 52 is received by a receiver of a controller 73 on the ground, and the object is confirmed and is photographed.

Restrictions such as terrain? There were some drawbacks, such as poor performance. Recently, in order to eliminate such drawbacks, aerial photography devices using balloons have been provided. However, this type of conventional aerial photography equipment only has a frame that holds the camera. Because the balloon was suspended from the balloon by a wire, when the balloon swayed due to the wind, the camera also swayed, creating a large amount of inertia and taking time to come to rest, making it difficult to efficiently take accurate photographs. I couldn't do it.

Next, how to use the present invention will be explained. First, at the destination, the balloon 1 is filled with helium gas, the stabilizing cable 8 and the multicore cord 74 are unwound from the winding drums 9 and 75, and the balloon 1,
The support member 4, photographing device 12, etc. are raised to a desired altitude. Since the balloon 1 that has risen is formed in the shape of an airship, it can always be stabilized in the direction of the wind, and can be held down sufficiently with just one holding line of 8 pieces. Even if the balloon 1 swings vertically and horizontally, the joint 13 of the suspension member 11
, 14, the photographing device 12 quickly returns to its posture due to its own weight. During this time,
Since the target object captured by the monitor television camera 52 is received by the monitor television receiver of the control device 73 on the ground, this allows the object to be imaged, and if the angle of the camera 51 in the plane is off, , the motor 62 is rotated forward or reverse, the photographing device 12 is rotated forward or reverse around the vertical hollow shaft 35, and the angle of the camera 51 is aligned with the subject. Thereafter, the shutter switch of the camera 51 can be operated under the control of the control device 73 to photograph the subject. If the photographing device 12 is suspended from the rod-shaped support member 4 as in the above-mentioned embodiment, the mounting position of the holding line 8 can be changed. Photography device 1
2, and can be removed from the field of view when photographing the subject. Further, when the subject is a slope of a mountain, etc., the auxiliary frame 47 holds the camera 51 and the monitor television camera 52 in advance. By adjusting the mounting angle with respect to the main frame 46, it is possible to take pictures in the same manner as described above.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, since a balloon is used to photograph a subject, it is possible to photograph the subject at low cost without being subject to restrictions such as air space and terrain. Furthermore, since the photographing device is suspended so that it can return to its original position due to its own weight against the swinging of the balloon, accurate photographing can be carried out efficiently.
