Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Balancesystem für handgeführte oder am Körper geführte Kameras gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The The present invention relates to a balance system for hand-held or on the body guided cameras according to the generic term of claim 1
Solche Balancesysteme dienen dazu, eine vom Kameramann getragene Kamera so zu stabilisieren, dass Nick-, Roll- oder Schwingbewegungen der Kamera bei Körperbewegungen, etwa beim Gehen, unterbunden werden und somit ein schwebender und gleitender Bewegungseffekt hervorgerufen wird.Such Balance systems serve a camera worn by the cameraman stabilize so that pitching, rolling or swinging movements of Camera during body movements, while walking, being stopped and thus a hovering and sliding motion effect is caused.
Dazu ist das Balancesystem so ausgestaltet, dass es kardanisch gelenkig mit einer Tragevorrichtung, beispielsweise einem Handgriff, verbunden ist. Das eigentliche Balancesystem besteht aus einem Pendelarm, an dessen einem Ende die Kamera mit Hilfe einer Halterung befestigt ist und an dessen anderem Ende ein vertikal verschiebbares Gegen- oder Kontergewicht angebracht ist. Bei geeigneter Positionierung von Kamera und Kontergewicht tritt ein Balancezustand auf, bei dem der Schwerpunkt des Gesamtsystems, im Wesentlichen bestehend aus Kamera, Kamerahalterung, Pendelarm und Kontergewicht, so knapp unterhalb des Gelenkmittelpunktes zu liegen kommt, dass das System gerade nicht mehr kippt und sich immer wieder vertikal ausrichtet.To the balance system is designed to be gimbal-like with a carrying device, such as a handle, connected is. The actual balance system consists of a pendulum arm, attached to one end of the camera using a bracket and at the other end a vertically displaceable counterpart or counterweight is appropriate. With suitable positioning From camera and counterweight occurs in a balance state, in which the focus of the overall system, consisting essentially of Camera, camera mount, pendulum and counterweight, so just below of the joint center comes to lie, that the system straight no longer tilts and always aligns vertically.
Damit heben sich bei horizontalen Beschleunigungen, wie sie beispielsweise beim Gehen oder Laufen auftreten, die auf das Gelenk einwirkenden Drehmomente gegenseitig fast vollständig auf, so dass keine Nick-, Roll- oder Schwingbewegungen auftreten. Außerdem eliminiert die gelenkige Aufhängung Drehbewegungen, die vom Handgelenk des Kameramanns ausgehen.In order to lift at horizontal accelerations, as they do for example When walking or running, the torques acting on the joint occur each other almost completely on, so that no pitching, rolling or swinging movements occur. Furthermore eliminates the articulated suspension Rotational motions emanating from the wrist of the cameraman.
Grundsätzlich sind zwei Ausführungen von Tragevorrichtungen derartiger Balancesysteme bekannt und handelsüblich. Bei der einen Form wird das Kardangelenk des Balancesystems an einem Federarm aufgehängt, der wiederum mit einem Körperstativ des Kameramanns gelenkig verbunden ist. Diese Form wird vorwiegend bei schweren Kameras verwendet.Basically two versions of carrying devices of such balance systems known and commercially available. at one form is the universal joint of the balance system on a spring arm suspended in turn with a body tripod the cameraman is articulated. This form becomes predominant used on heavy cameras.
Bei leichteren Kameras hingegen kommen oft handgeführte Balancesysteme zum Einsatz. Ihr Pendelarm ist vorwiegend bogenförmig ausgebildet, so dass zwischen der Gelenkmechanik und dem Gegengewicht Platz ist für einen kurzen, senkrecht stehenden Handgriff, an dessen oberem Ende das Balancesystem kardanisch gelenkig angebracht ist. Die Gelenkmechanik dieser handgeführten Balancesysteme besteht vorzugsweise aus einem nahezu reibungsfrei gleitenden Kugelgelenk.at lighter cameras, on the other hand, often use hand-held balance systems. Her pendulum arm is predominantly arcuate, so that between The joint mechanics and counterweight space is for one short, vertical handle, at the upper end of the Balance system gimbal hinged. The joint mechanics this hand-held Balancing systems preferably consists of a nearly frictionless sliding ball joint.
Allen Balancesystemen ist gemeinsam, dass die Kamera stets über der Gelenkmechanik positioniert ist, während sich das Kontergewicht am Pendelarm weit unterhalb der gelenkigen Aufhängung befindet. Das hat zur Folge, dass die Kamera niemals dicht über den Boden geführt werden kann, weil das Kontergewicht im Weg ist. Aus Gründen der Bildgestaltung wäre eine bodennahe Kameraführung aber oft sehr wünschenswert. Außerdem ist der Höhenbereich, in dem die Kamera geführt werden kann, relativ begrenzt und beschränkt sich ungefähr auf Brusthöhe.all Balancing systems have in common that the camera is always above the Joint mechanics is positioned while the counterweight located on the pendulum arm far below the articulated suspension. That has to As a result, never bring the camera close to the ground can because the counterweight is in the way. For the sake of image design would be a ground-level camera work but often very desirable. Furthermore is the altitude range, in which the camera led can be, relatively limited and limited approximately at breast height.
Darstellung der Erfindung.Presentation of the invention.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, ein Balancesystem zu schaffen, das eine schwebende Kameraführung in einem erweiterten Höhenbereich erlaubt, der von knapp über Bodenhöhe bis über Kopfhöhe reicht.The The object of the present invention is a balance system to create a floating camera in an extended altitude range allowed, of just above ground level to about head height enough.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Balancesystem gemäß dem Patentanspruch 1.The Task is solved by a balance system according to the claim 1.
Demzufolge werden in dem System erfindungsgemäß die Positionen von Kamera und Kontergewicht vertauscht. Die Kamera erhält ihren Platz auf einer Halterung am Pendelarm unterhalb der Gelenkmechanik, das vertikal verschiebbare Kontergewicht seinen Platz oberhalb der Gelenkmechanik, so dass sich bei geeigneter Positionierung aller Massen die gewünschte Schwerpunktlage einstellt.As a result, In the system according to the invention, the positions of camera and counterweight reversed. The camera gets its place on a bracket on the pendulum arm below the joint mechanism, the vertically displaceable counterweight its Place above the hinge mechanism, so that with suitable positioning of all masses the desired Center of gravity stops.
Die Tragevorrichtung des Balancesystems ist erfindungsgemäß eine Tragestange von geeigneter Länge, die eine im Wesentlichen horizontale Fortsetzung einer Gelenkachse der kardanischen Aufhängung darstellt. Die Länge der Tragestange kann vom kurzen Handgriff für eine Hand bis weit über Besenstiellänge zum Führen mit beiden Hände variieren. Durch eine lange Tragestange kann die Kamera ohne Körperverrenkungen sowohl dicht über dem Boden als auch über Kopfhöhe geführt werden.The Carrying device of the balance system according to the invention is a support rod of suitable length, the one substantially horizontal continuation of a hinge axis the gimbal mounting represents. The length The carrying rod can range from the short handle for one hand to well over broomstick length To lead with both hands vary. A long support rod allows the camera without body contortions both tight above the ground as well over head height guided become.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Balancesystems ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.advantageous Developments of the balance system according to the invention revealed from the dependent claims.
So kann am Ende der Tragestange ein weiteres Gegengewicht zum Balancesystem angebracht werden. Dadurch ist es möglich, das ganze System in ausbalanciertem Zustand mit einer Hand und wenig Kraftaufwand zu führen. Darüber hinaus bewirken das zusätzliche Gewicht und der relativ große Hebelarm eine erhebliche Steigerung der Trägheitsmomente, wodurch sehr wirkungsvoll eine weitere Unterdrückung ungewollter Pendelbewegungen bei der Kameraführung erreicht wird.Thus, at the end of the support rod another counterweight to the balance system can be attached. This makes it possible to run the entire system in a balanced state with one hand and little effort. In addition, the extra weight and the relatively large lever cause arm a significant increase in the moments of inertia, which is very effective to further suppression of unwanted oscillations in the camera work is achieved.
