The camera head of the present application will be described in detail below, taking as an example the case where the first portion 21 is provided in a square structure.

In a specific embodiment, the supporting portion 4 is a plate-shaped structure, and the number of the supporting portions 4 is at least 1, and the supporting portion 4 is rotatably connected to the edge position of the second portion 22. When the supporting portion 4 is in the first position, the third surface 42 of the supporting portion 4 close to the first portion 21 is attached to the corresponding side wall of the first portion 21, so as to reduce the volume of the camera, and facilitate the installation of the camera in the electronic device 8 or the carrying. When the supporting parts 4 are required to be used for supporting so as to realize shooting at different angles, one or more of the supporting parts 4 can be released from a state of being attached to the first position of the side wall of the first part 21 according to requirements, so that the third surface 42 is far away from the side wall of the first part 21 by rotating relative to the second part 22, when the camera is placed on the placing surface 6, the supporting parts 4 which are unfolded relative to the first part 21 can be partially contacted with the placing surface 6, a certain angle is formed between the supporting parts 4 and the first part 21, a stable supporting structure can be formed on the placing surface 6 by being matched with the second part 22 or the supporting parts 4 which are not unfolded, and the stability of the camera at a certain angle is further improved by the arranged supporting parts 4.

The number of the support portions 4 rotatably connected to the second portion 22 may be 1, or may be two or more, and according to specific use requirements and conditions such as required angle adjustment, the size of the angle at which one or more of the support portions 4 is or are unfolded and unfolded may be adaptively adjusted, as long as the support portion 4 can support the camera at a certain angle during shooting, and the support portion 4 can be attached to the surface of the first portion 21 to reduce the occupied volume of the camera during non-shooting, which is not specifically limited herein.

When the supporting portion 4 is provided as one, it is necessary to switch the supporting portion 4 from the state of the first position to the state of the second position, so that the supporting portion 4 is matched with the other surface of the first portion 21 or the placing surface 6 of the second portion 22, the camera can be maintained at a certain angle, and the supporting portion 4 realizes the support for maintaining the camera at the corresponding angle. When the support portions 4 are provided in two or more numbers, the plurality of support portions 4 are circumferentially arranged around the edge position of the second portion 22, and when the support portions 4 are located at the first position, the plurality of support portions 4 and the second portion 22 cover at least part of the first portion 21, and at least the lens 11 can be exposed, so that shooting can be performed even when the support portions 4 are located at the first position. For example, referring to fig. 1 and 4, the shape of the second portion 22 is designed to follow the shape of the first portion 21 of the cube, the second portion 22 is attached to and has the same shape as the sidewall of the first portion 21 on the side away from the lens 11, the plate-shaped support portions 4 are respectively rotatably connected to four edge positions of the second portion 22 through the rotating portions 3, when the support portions 4 are all in the first position, the four sides of the support portions 4 and the connected second portion 22 surround to form a housing structure with an opening, the first portion 21 is placed in the housing, and the side of the first portion 21 where the lens 11 is disposed corresponds to the opening. When the camera needs to be adjusted to a certain angle, one or more support parts 4 which are circumferentially arranged are correspondingly unfolded and the unfolded angle is adjusted according to the angle at which the camera needs to be placed, so that the unfolded support parts 4 are combined with the unfolded support parts 4, the side walls of the first part 21 and the placing plane 221 of the second part 22 at will to support the camera.
