ことができるカメラ支持装置を提供しようとするもので
ある。According to the present invention, a camera support device for fixedly supporting a video camera or the like is configured by a camera mounting bracket and a plastically deformable rod-shaped main body, so that a shooting angle of the video camera or the like can be freely set and is compactly stored. , A portable camera support device.
ビデオカメラ等による撮影は、一般に手でカメラ本体を
保持して行なわれる。そして、例えば夜間撮影、長時間
撮影等のように手によって保持することが困難な撮影を
する場合には、カメラを支持するために三脚を使用す
る。この三脚は、カメラを支持するために必要かつ充分
な強度を有しているため非常に大きく、重いものとな
る。特にビデオカメラはカメラ本体の重量が非常に重い
ためそれを支持する三脚はそれに応じて大きく、重いも
のとなり携帯においては不便極まりない。Shooting with a video camera or the like is generally performed while holding the camera body by hand. Then, in the case of photographing that is difficult to hold by hand such as photographing at night or photographing for a long time, a tripod is used to support the camera. This tripod is very large and heavy because it has the strength necessary and sufficient to support the camera. In particular, since a video camera has a very heavy camera body, a tripod supporting the camera body is accordingly large and heavy, which is inconvenient for carrying.
また、三脚は上述のごとくビデオカメラを固定支持する
機能しかなく、使用できる場所も三脚が安定に設置でき
る平坦な場所でしか使用することができない。現在ビデ
オカメラは、小型、軽量化の傾向にあり、撮影形態も多
様化してきているため、このような実情に対応できるカ
メラ支持装置が必要となっている。Further, the tripod has only the function of fixing and supporting the video camera as described above, and can be used only at a flat place where the tripod can be stably installed. At present, video cameras tend to be smaller and lighter and their photographic forms are diversifying, so that a camera support device that can cope with such a situation is required.
上述のように、従来の三脚は、カメラ固定支持機能しか
有しておらず、設置場所も限定されてしまい、支持する
カメラに応じて、大きく重いものとなる。As described above, the conventional tripod has only a camera fixing and supporting function, the installation place is limited, and it becomes large and heavy depending on the camera to be supported.
ところが、最近では、例えば8mmビデオカメラ等のよう

たため、大きく重い三脚は必要なくなりつつある。その
上、8mmビデオカメラ等は、携帯が容易で、撮影も手軽
であるという特徴があり、従来の三脚を使用したので
は、その特徴がまったくいかされなくなってしまう。However, recently, a very small and lightweight video camera such as an 8 mm video camera has appeared, so that a large and heavy tripod is no longer necessary. In addition, 8mm video cameras have the characteristics that they are easy to carry and easy to shoot, and if you use a conventional tripod, the characteristics will not be fully utilized.
そこで本発明は上述の問題点を解決しようと提案された
ものであり、あまり重量のないカメラ、例えば8mmビデ
オカメラ等を支持する場合に、三脚として使用できるば
