Description

Camera Cradle for Panorama

The present invention relates to a camera cradle for panoramic photography, and more particularly, a connecting shaft is rotatably coupled to a fixed shaft formed of a single rod, and a camera is installed at one end of the connecting shaft, and a rotating shaft and a tripod are combined at the other end of the connecting shaft to provide support. It relates to a camera cradle for panoramic shooting that provides the same and allows height adjustment for the terrain.

As we enter the modern era, the number of cases in which panoramic shooting is performed for various purposes is increasing. Conventionally, flat photos have been mainly used, but with the development of technology, the use of panoramic photos has increased. For example, there are cases where a 360° viewing system is provided in the introduction of real estate sales, etc. In the past, real estate sites provided only flat photos, but as the 360° viewing system is provided through the use of computers and the Internet, it is more convenient to consumers. accurate information can be conveyed.

Panoramic photography is basically a method of installing a camera by combining a rotatable support for panorama on an upper part of a tripod, and photographing while rotating the support for panorama.

A fixed plate, a panoramic head bracket that is assembled to the front and rear fixed plates so as to be adjustable in length with a fastening member and can rotate 360° integrally with the fixed plate, is disposed on the side of the panoramic head bracket, and moves a predetermined area in the longitudinal direction; Panorama comprising a support assembled as an assembly member through an assembly guide hole that rotates backward in the 180° area to freely photograph a ground wider than the original length, and a vertical vertical angle bonsai machine that is freely assembled to one end of the support It relates to a support structure of a photographing camera.

In the panoramic photographing method, since a tripod is inevitably taken together when photographing the ground portion, the operation of removing the tripod is performed through correction such as Photoshop. However, since the support structure of the conventional panoramic camera includes a tripod, after photographing the ground portion, there is a problem in that it is slow and cumbersome to delete the tripod to be photographed on the ground portion with Photoshop.

On the other hand, the panoramic photographing may be performed not only on a flat ground, but also on an inclined ground or rough terrain such as a mountain. However, the support structure of the conventional panoramic camera has a problem in that it is difficult to use, such as a tripod falling over in a terrain having a slope of a certain angle or more.

Accordingly, there has been a growing need for a camera cradle for panoramic photography that can be used stably even on an inclined surface and can simplify the post-processing of the photographed panoramic photos.

The lower legs (42b, 43b, 44b) are combined to be adjustable in length to form a tripod.

First, second, and third tripod supports 42c, 43c, and 44c may be formed at one end of the first, second, and third lower legs 42b, 43b, and 44b. The first, second, and third tripod supports 42c, 43c, and 44c have rounded ends so that the tripod 40 is in contact with the ground and can be applied to various terrains.

Through the above configuration, the fixed shaft 10, the connecting shaft 20, the rotating shaft 30 and the tripod 40 are interconnected to maintain a state not to fall from the ground having an inclination.

The connection shaft 20, the rotation shaft 30, and the tripod 40 are rotated in a circle around the fixed shaft 10. To make it easy to understand, the fixed shaft 10 corresponds to the sun. And, the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 may correspond to a planet revolving around the sun, and the connecting shaft 20 may correspond to an attractive force between the sun and the planet.

Through the configuration of the fixed shaft 10, the connecting shaft 20, the rotating shaft 30, and the tripod 40 rotatable in the same way as the solar system, the camera cradle for panoramic shooting according to the present invention can effectively help 360° panoramic shooting. have.

Again, returning to FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, for 360° panoramic photography, a camera support 50 is positioned on the fixed shaft 10, and a camera C is coupled to the camera support 50.

The camera support 50 is coupled to the connecting shaft 20 so as to rotate together with the rotation of the connecting shaft 20 . That is, the camera support 50 is coupled to the connecting shaft 20 so as to be positioned above the fixed shaft 10 . More specifically, it can be said that the camera support 50 is coupled to the fixed shaft coupling portion 21 of the connecting shaft 20 .

Through the structure as described above, the camera support 50 is rotated together with the rotation of the connecting shaft 20 in the upper portion of the fixed shaft (10).

The camera support 50 is fixedly coupled to the connection shaft 20 through the support connection part 52 .

In addition, the camera support 50 has a horizontal connection part 54 extending horizontally from the support connection part 52 in order to have the effect of floating the camera C in the air, and the horizontal connection part 54 again vertically from the horizontal connection part 54 . It may include an extended vertical connection portion (56).

The length of the horizontal connection part 54 and the vertical connection part 56 can be adjusted to fit various shapes or sizes of the camera (C). For example, if the width of the camera (C) is wide, the length of the horizontal connection portion 54 may be increased, and if the thickness of the camera (C) is thick, the length of the vertical connection portion 56 may be increased.

A camera rotation unit 58 may be formed on one side of the vertical connection unit 56 to adjust the angle of the camera C during shooting. The camera rotating unit 58 is preferably formed rotatably at the end of the vertical connection unit (56).

The camera rotating unit 58 can be coupled to the camera (C), and can be rotated by a desired angle. To be precise, it would be appropriate for the camera rotation unit 58 to be rotatable by 180° or more from the state in which the camera lens of the camera C faces the ground so that the camera lens of the camera C can be viewed from the bottom to the top. Likewise, it would be appropriate for the camera rotation unit 58 to be rotatable 180° or more from the state in which the camera lens of the camera C faces the ceiling.

Through the above configuration, the user can perform 360° panoramic shooting using the camera cradle for panoramic shooting according to the present invention.

First, the user assembles the fixed shaft 10 , the connecting shaft 20 , the rotation shaft 30 , the tripod 40 , and the camera support 50 to form a camera holder for panoramic photography.

Then, the user installs the camera (C) coupled to the camera support (50).

Next, the user fixes the fixed shaft 10 on the ground of the place to be photographed, increases the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 to touch the ground, and fixes the entire cradle and takes a picture. . In this case, it is good to start the angle of the first camera lens from the angle facing the floor or the ceiling.

When the photographing is completed, the user reduces the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40, lifts the connecting shaft 20 slightly and rotates it by a predetermined angle. Next, the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 is again increased so that it touches the ground. Taking a picture in that state, repeating this process, rotates one rotation until the pivoting shaft 30 and the tripod 40 come to the origin to perform the shooting. When the shooting place is a flat topography, it is possible to take a panoramic picture by simply rotating the connecting shaft 20 without changing the length of the rotating shaft 30 and the tripod 40, but the topography of the shooting place is a slope In this case, the process of reducing and increasing the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 becomes important.

After the panoramic shooting is performed once, this time, as shown in FIG. 3, by adjusting the camera rotation unit 58 of the camera support 50, the angle of the camera lens is slightly raised or lowered as desired and rotated once again. Take a photo.

While repeating the whole process described above, the angle of the camera rotating unit 58 is adjusted little by little from the point where the camera lens faces the ceiling to the point where the camera lens faces the floor, and the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 are rotated one turn at a time. By rotating it, it is possible to shoot all the focal points of the spherical shape.

When the shooting is completed, if the shape of the fixed shaft 10 photographed together with the camera C is photographed with Photoshop and deleted, all the work of all panoramic shooting is completed, and it can be distributed over the Internet, etc. .

On the other hand, the camera cradle for panoramic photography according to the present invention has an effect that the deletion operation is easy because the shape of the fixed shaft 10 taken together when photographing the ground portion is a simple single rod shape. The conventional camera mount for panoramic photography placed the camera on a tripod and mounted it, and due to the complicated structure of the tripod, it takes time and manpower to remove it with a Photoshop operation. do.

On the other hand, reducing and increasing the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 at every shooting angle may be a cumbersome task.

Accordingly, in another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4 , the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 can be reduced and increased in a fully automatic manner. This may be accomplished through a motor (not shown) formed inside the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 .

However, due to the nature of panoramic shooting taken in various terrains, the degree to which each tripod leg needs to be stretched varies greatly, and in the present invention, the first, second, and third Altitude measurement sensors (42d, 43d, 44d) may be installed.

The first, second, and third altitude measuring sensors 42d, 43d, and 44d serve to measure the distance between the first, second, and third tripod supports 42c, 43c and 44c of the tripod 40 away from the ground. By the first, second, and third altitude measurement sensors (42d, 43d, 44d), the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 of the present invention are moved by the distance to be moved, and the first, second, and third tripod supports ( When 42c, 43c and 44c) come into contact with the ground, the operation of the motor for increasing the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 is stopped, and the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 are fixed.

In addition, in the operation of taking a 360° panorama using the camera cradle for panoramic photography according to the present invention, it is important to align the horizontal axis of the connecting shaft 20 . The fixed shaft 10 is fixed to the floor, so it is not a problem, but the connecting shaft 20 may be difficult to horizontally adjust as the user directly lifts and rotates the shaft 20 .

Accordingly, in another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 , the horizontal sensing weight 242 and the horizontal sensing sensor 244 may be installed on the connecting shaft 20 .

The horizontal sensing weight 242 is preferably composed of a longitudinal space formed along the longitudinal direction of the connecting shaft 20, and a derivative that moves between the space. In addition, the horizontal sensing weight 242 has two scales formed in the center, so that when the derivative enters between the scales, it is possible to visually confirm to the user that it is level.

The horizontal sensing weight 242 may be formed on the connecting shaft screw 24 of the connecting shaft 20 . However, since the horizontal sensing weight 242 is for sensing the horizontality of the connecting shaft 20 , it may be formed anywhere on the connecting shaft 20 in a line that does not deviate from the range of the connecting shaft 20 .

On the other hand, the operation of looking into the horizontal sensing weight 242 each time may also be a cumbersome operation. Accordingly, a horizontal detection sensor 244 may be installed at a position adjacent to the horizontal detection weight 242 .

The horizontal detection sensor 244 serves to check whether the connecting shaft 20 is in a horizontal state by sensing whether the derivative of the horizontal detection weight 242 is in the center.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the motor, the first, second, and third altitude measurement sensors (42d, 43d, 44d) and the horizontal sensor 244 are, as shown in FIG. 7, to the control unit 60 It may be controlled by

The location of the control unit 60 is not limited, and if it is a convenient location for a user to perform an operation, it may be formed in various locations. In FIG. 7 , the control unit 60 is formed in the upper portion of the rotation shaft coupling portion 22 and the rotation shaft 30 as an example, but the position of the control unit 60 is not particularly limited.

The control unit 60 may receive a signal from the horizontal sensor 244 and serve to inform the horizontal state of the camera cradle for panoramic photographing. The control unit 60 receives from the horizontal sensor 244 whether the connection shaft 20 is maintained horizontally.

To this end, a display window 62 may be formed in the control unit 60 .

The horizontal state of the cradle may be informed to the user by using the display window 62 and various sound information.

The control unit 60 receives the altitude information from the first, second, and third altitude measurement sensors 42d, 43d, and 44d, operates the motor, and through this, the first, second, and third tripod supports 42c, 43c, 44c ) can play a role in automatically adjusting the moving distance.

To this end, an up button 64 and a down button 66 may be formed in the control unit 60 . When shooting at a specified angle is completed and the up button 64 is pressed, the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 is reduced by the operation of the motor. Then, after the user rotates the connecting shaft 20 and presses the lowering button 66, the length of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 is increased by the operation of the motor, and the control unit 60 is 1, 2, 3 It is possible to receive the altitude information from the altitude measurement sensors 42d, 43d, and 44d, calculate the final length to which the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 must extend, and control the operation of the motor.

In addition, when the connecting shaft 20 is not horizontal after the corresponding operation, the operation of notifying the user of this and then re-adjusting the lengths of the rotation shaft 30 and the tripod 40 may also be performed automatically.

The control unit 60 may perform photographing of the camera C, and may serve to control the angle of the camera rotating unit 58 . To this end, various types of buttons 68 may be additionally formed in the control unit 60 .

Since the components used in the automatic system require expensive equipment, it is preferable to basically manufacture and use them in a manual method. will be.

To summarize, the control unit 60 receives the measurement information from the first, second, and third altitude measurement sensors 42d, 43d, 44d or the horizontal detection sensor 244, and through the received measurement information, the rotation shaft 30 ) and the length of the tripod 40, or whether the connecting shaft 20 is horizontally maintained or not, may be said to be provided to the user.

Accordingly, the present invention specifies that a camera cradle for panoramic photography has been developed as a cradle for panoramic photography that can be used stably even on an inclined surface and can simplify post-correction of the captured panoramic photos.
