Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device that assists in stably holding a camera and prevents photographing errors due to camera shake.

Shooting errors due to camera shake are generally more likely to occur when using a telephoto lens or low-speed shutter, and can be improved to some extent by changing the way you hold the camera, but this is especially true for people who wear glasses. Even if things were better, the reality was that holding the camera tended to become more unstable, making it difficult to take beautiful pictures while holding the camera in your hand.

The present invention was created in view of the above, and is designed so that when the person looks through the viewfinder and holds the camera, a headrest piece that comes into contact with the person's forehead can be detachably attached to the camera's accessory shoe. By placing the headpiece on the forehead, it is possible to hold the camera stably.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. For example, in a single-lens reflex camera, an accessory shoe for attaching a strobe is generally mounted on the pentaprism, as is well known. Figure 1 shows this type of single-lens reflex camera.
1 is such a known accessory shoe. Reference numeral 2 denotes a square plate-shaped insertion piece that can be detachably attached to the accessory shoe, and a tightening nut 4 is screwed onto the outer periphery of a screw shaft 3 with the insertion piece 2 formed at the lower end. . Further, above the screw shaft 3, a constriction portion 5 and a saucer portion 6 above the constriction portion 5 are formed, and this portion is loosely inserted into the cylindrical body 7. The cylindrical body 7 holds a sphere 8 inside its upper end, and the sphere 8 is received on the saucer portion 6 within the cylindrical body and can rotate in any direction. 9 is a tightening screw sticking out from one side wall of the cylindrical body 7; 10 is its knob;
The conical tip portion of is brought into contact with the inclined lower surface of the saucer portion 6. Therefore, when the knob 10 is turned and the tip of the tightening screw 9 enters, the saucer portion 6 is pressed upward and the sphere 8 is fixed by the saucer portion 6 so as not to rotate. Mounting shaft 1 protruding from a part of sphere 8
1 is provided with a head rest piece 12 curved into an arc with an appropriate radius of curvature. Reference numeral 13 denotes a non-slip rubber adhered to the inner surface of the head support piece 12.

In the tool configured in this manner, the insertion piece 2 is inserted into the accessory shoe 1 and the tightening nut 4 is tightened and fixed. Then, by rotating the sphere 8 within the cylindrical body 7, the head rest piece 12 is fixed in any desired direction with the knob 10, so that when the person holds the camera, the head rest piece 12 hits the person's forehead. It is something to do.

As described above with respect to the embodiments, the camera stabilization support device according to the present invention can be easily attached and fixed to the camera using an accessory shoe for attaching a strobe, and the headrest piece can be placed in contact with the forehead. You can hold the camera stably by looking through the viewfinder. This makes it possible for even people who wear glasses to maintain a stable posture and take beautiful pictures without so-called camera shake by keeping the camera in contact with the head.
