In one example, the first connecting member 116 includes a head portion and a shaft portion connected to each other, the shaft portion has a threaded section, the supporting structure 130 has a threaded hole, the shaft portion of the first connecting member 116 sequentially penetrates through the mounting hole 115 and the second connecting hole 114, the threaded section is connected to the threaded hole, and the head portion abuts against the third side plate 1123 to mount the counterweight rail 112 on the supporting structure 130, so that the first connecting member 116 is connected to the supporting structure 130 by means of threaded connection, which is simple to implement and low in cost.

In certain embodiments, the counterweight structure 110 is configured to adjust the center of gravity of the pan and tilt head 200 by adjusting the position of the counterweight 118 on the counterweight track 112, the number of counterweight 118 on the counterweight track 112, and/or the position of the counterweight track 112 on the mounting structure 130. Thus, the method for adjusting the gravity center of the holder 200 is enriched.

Specifically, in combination with the structure of the counterweight track 112, the first side plate 1121, the second side plate 1122, the third side plate 1123, the fourth side plate 1124, the fifth side plate 1125, and the sixth side plate 1126 each have a first connection hole 113, and the counterweight 118 can be connected to one side plate or two side plates or more than two side plates of the first side plate 1121, the second side plate 1122, the third side plate 1123, the fourth side plate 1124, the fifth side plate 1125, and the sixth side plate 1126 through the first connection hole 113.

In this way, the counterweight track 112 can also adjust the gravity center of the pan/tilt head 200 when the photographing device 300 is oriented differently according to different use scenes.

Referring to fig. 11 to 14, wherein the camera 300 in fig. 11 to 13 is in a first orientation state, the camera 300 in fig. 14 is in a second orientation state, and when the camera 300 is in the first orientation state, the counterweight rail 112 is located at the lower side of the bracket structure 130, and the lower side refers to the lower side of the bracket structure 130 after being fixed when the camera 300 is in and maintains the first orientation state; when the camera 300 is in the second orientation, the counterweight track 112 is located on the left side of the mounting structure 130, which is the left side of the mounting structure 130 that is secured when the camera 300 is in and maintains the second orientation.

It should be noted that when the first connecting member 116 fixedly connects the counterweight track 112 to the support structure 130, the counterweight track 112 can be slidably connected to the support structure 130 through the mounting hole 115, and specifically, the sliding connection of the counterweight track 112 is realized by changing the specific position of the first connecting member 116 on the mounting hole 115, so that the counterweight track 112 has the gravity center for precisely adjusting the cradle head 200, and at the same time, the operation amount of the user is reduced as much as possible, which is convenient for the user to operate.

In addition, when the photographing device 300 is in the first orientation state, the mounting hole 115 of the weight rail 112 faces downward, and when the photographing device 300 is in the second orientation state, the mounting hole 115 of the weight rail 112 faces upward, so that the user can conveniently operate the first connecting member 116.

In some embodiments, the mounting structure 130 is configured to capture an image of the camera 300 in a first orientation or a second orientation, the mounting structure 130 including a first plate 131 and a second plate 132, the first plate 131 for mounting the camera 300, the first plate 131 also for connecting the connection socket 230 when the camera 300 captures an image in the first orientation, the second plate 132 for connecting the connection socket 230 when the camera 300 captures an image in the second orientation. Thus, application scenarios of the photographing apparatus 300 can be enriched.

Referring to fig. 3-6, the first plate 131 and the second plate 132 are fixedly connected, and the surfaces of the first plate 131 and the second plate 132 are respectively provided with a structure, such as a hole structure, for connecting the connection socket 230, when the camera 300 captures an image in a first orientation, the first plate 131 is used for connecting the camera 300 and the connection socket 230, when the camera 300 captures an image in a second orientation, the first plate 131 is used for connecting the camera 300, and the second plate 132 is used for connecting the connection socket 230.

It is to be appreciated that the mounting structure 130 can take different or the same form for connecting the connecting sockets 230 when the camera 300 captures images in different orientations, and in the illustrated embodiment, the mounting structure 130 is mounted on the head 200 by connecting the first plate 131 or the second plate 132 to the connecting sockets 230 to accommodate different needs of a user, increasing the applicability of the counterweight assembly 100.

In addition, referring to fig. 11, the first position of the supporting structure 130 is the lower surface of the first plate 131, i.e. the second surface 1317, referring to fig. 14, the second position of the supporting structure 130 is located at the left side of the first plate 131 and close to the second plate 132, and the left side refers to the left side of the supporting structure 130 after being fixed when the photographing device 300 is in and maintains the second orientation state. In this manner, the mounting of counterweight rail 112 on mounting structure 130 is facilitated. That is, the first and second positions may be both end portions of the first plate 131

In certain embodiments, the first and/or second positions of the support structure 130 may also be disposed on the second plate 132.

In some embodiments, the first orientation is perpendicular to the second orientation.

It is understood that in actual use, the user has a requirement on the orientation of the camera 300, such as setting the camera 300 to shoot horizontally and/or vertically, or shoot diagonally. When the photographing device 300 is fixed on the cradle head 200 by connecting the weight assembly 100, the photographing device 300 can be set to a first orientation and a second orientation perpendicular to each other to capture an image, which satisfies the user's requirements in terms of the orientation of the photographing device 300.

In one example, when the camera 300 captures an image in a first orientation, the first orientation may place the camera 300 in a landscape orientation, and when the camera 300 captures an image in a second orientation, the second orientation may place the camera 300 in a portrait orientation, such that the first orientation and the second orientation are perpendicular to each other. The first plate 131 and the second plate 132 are vertically connected to form a bracket structure 130 having an L-shape.
