Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve and stabilize the operational performance of a camera by attaching a camera fixing base acting as a spacer to the bottom of the camera. CONSTITUTION:A fixing base 2 having a slide plate 5 is attached to the bottom of a camera through a knob 8 with a screw. If the bottom 4 of the slide plate 5 is put on the palm of the left hand of a camera's operator along the ball of the thumb 3 without putting the bottom 4 on the ball 3 and the camera is oriented to a subject, an adjusting ring of a lens is protected from being contacted with the ball of the thumb when the ring 6 is operated, preventing the camera from being inclined or shaked. The slide plate 15 can be freely moved on a position having a fine operational performance in accordance with the length of the camera lens.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a camera stabilizing aid that allows easy, quick and accurate camera photography by attaching a camera KjlE.

The basic way to hold a camera is as shown in Figure 1. Hold the elbows of both arms together, keeping them close to your body, place the bottom of the camera body on the palm of your left hand, and use your left thumb and left index finger to focus. Rotate the alignment ring to focus, etc., and press the shutter button with your right index finger.

However, with this basic stance, when rotating the focusing ring, etc., the thenar of the left hand bulges, and the bottom of the camera body is placed horizontally between the bulging thenar and little foot. This causes the camera to shake and tilt.

Therefore, in order to prevent camera shake, normally after focusing etc., the camera is stabilized in the palm of the left hand before pressing the shutter button, but this does not allow quick shooting.

Also, when focusing or zooming with a long zoom lens, if the ring for focusing or zooming is moved away from the camera body, the left thumb and left index finger that rotate the ring will not be able to reach the ring. I end up.

This invention is proposed from the above-mentioned viewpoint, and includes a fixed base (9) on which the bottom surface of the camera body (1) is fixed, and a lower part of this fixed base (2) that can be freely slid in the longitudinal direction. It consists of a slide plate (with a slide board) on which the bottom of the palm (4) is placed along the ball of the foot (3) K, avoiding the ball of the foot (3), and is used for focusing, zooming, etc. This camera stabilizing aid is characterized in that the camera can be maintained in a state where the ball of the foot (3) does not come into strong contact with the bottom surface of the camera body (1) when the ring (6) is rotated.

In addition, in the embodiment, the fixing base (2) tj through hole (7)
Fix it to the bottom of the camera body (1) by screwing the screw rod with knob (8) that goes all the way through the tripod threaded part on the bottom of the camera body (1). be.

Additionally, the interior of this fixed stand is a hollow space designed to reduce weight.

In addition, the through hole (7) is formed into a long hole, so that it can be fixed in accordance with the different positions of the tripod screwing part of each company's camera. A rubber sheet (9) is installed to prevent slipping.

Further, the tip (10) of the slide plate (9) is rounded so as not to hurt the palm of the hand.

The camera stabilizing aid according to the present invention constructed as described above fixes the bottom surface of the camera body (1) to the upper part of the fixing base (1) as shown in FIG.

Then, as shown in Figure 4, slide the plate (!) onto the left palm along the thenar ball (3), avoiding the thenar ball (9) of the left palm.
Place the camera on the bottom of the camera (4), use the same basic holding method as described above, rotate the focusing/zooming ring (6) with your left thumb and left index finger to adjust the focus, and then press the shutter button. Take a photo.

At this time, the slide plate (bottom part (4) of the mouse) is placed on the palm of the left hand as mentioned above, and when the ring (υ) rotates, the ball of the foot (3) strongly hits the bottom of the camera body (1). Since the camera can be maintained without contact, even if the ball of the foot (3) bulges when the ring (6) rotates, the camera will not shake due to this effect.

It never tilts.

Therefore, there is no need for the complicated procedure of rotating the ring (υ to focus, etc.), stabilizing the camera in the palm of the left hand, and then pressing the shutter button, as in the past.
You can press the shutter button quickly.

In addition, when using a long zoom lens (11) for focusing or zooming, when moving these rings (6) away from the camera body (1), fix the camera with your upper right hand and use your left thumb and left index finger to If you move the ring (6) away from the camera body (1), the slide plate (2) will slide further away from its original position), as in the conventional case. The left thumb and left index finger that rotate the ring (6) do not reach the ring 0#C, and it is possible to take pictures while keeping the camera body (1) in its original position. In addition, in contrast, when moving away and bringing the ring (6) closer to the camera body (1), you can take pictures in the same way by sliding the slide plate (59 in the opposite direction to the above). .

9. When using this zoom lens, the center of gravity of the camera also moves as the ring moves, but in this case as well, the palm of the left hand moves as the slide plate (5) slides, so the center of gravity of the camera moves as the center of gravity of the camera moves. You can keep the camera in a stable state and take pictures.

Claims (1)

[Claims] The bottom of the camera body (1) is fixed on the top of a fixing base (2), and the bottom of this fixing base (2) is provided so that it can be slid freely in the longitudinal direction. It consists of a slide plate (5) on which the bottom (4) is placed on the palm of the hand along the ball of the foot (9) and a ring (6) for focusing, zooming, etc. When the ball of the foot (3) is rotated, A camera stabilizing aid characterized in that the camera can be maintained in a position (11) in such a manner that the camera body (11) does not come into strong (11) contact with the bottom surface of the camera body (1).
