Description

Specification camera special umbrella technical field

The present invention relates to an auxiliary device in the field of photography, and more particularly to an umbrella mounted on a camera with a hot shoe to prevent wind and rain.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Friends who like photography know that when shooting outdoors, they often encounter bad weather. For example, when it is suddenly raining, snowy, or too strong, in order to protect the camera and lens, it is generally possible to work with an umbrella. When you need to be assisted by others, if you are alone, it is very inconvenient to take a camera with one hand and it is very inconvenient, and it will affect the photography effect. Sometimes it can't even complete the shooting. What is more serious is that the camera will be wet by the rain. Specializing in umbrellas can cause photographers to be restricted from moving at any time, especially affecting the capture effect.

In order to solve the above problems, most of the current use of an ordinary umbrella combined with a dedicated connector to connect to the camera. For example, the patent document of Chinese Patent No. 200620064862. 2 discloses a camera-specific umbrella which adopts a connector with a rotating joint head, the hot shoe pin at one end is connected to the camera, and the other end is fixed to the umbrella, which can ensure no matter what the camera goes to. At angles, the umbrella can always be tuned to the camera directly above the camera. The patent document with the application number 201310213474. X discloses a folding rain-reflecting dual-purpose camera umbrella stand, which adopts an L-shaped structure, the camera is fixed on the horizontal base of the umbrella stand, and the umbrella pole is fixed on the vertical of the umbrella stand. On the handle, the photographer grasps the camera and the umbrella with one hand and the other with the camera. There is also a hot shoe slot on the market that changes the bottom end of the mast directly into the camera. Generally, the bad weather in the wild is windy. The above-mentioned patent documents and objects are ordinary umbrellas. They do not take into account the influence of wind on the stability of photographic equipment. If there is a strong wind, it may even damage the equipment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To overcome the above drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a camera-specific umbrella for a camera. Provides protection against harsh weather conditions, improves wind resistance from the structure, ensures camera stability during shooting, and is easy to install and easy to carry.

The technical solution of the present invention is: a camera-specific umbrella, comprising an umbrella body and a support rod, the umbrella body comprising a canopy surface and front and rear skeletons, the umbrella surface being fixed to the front and rear skeletons, the front of the support rod, The rear end is respectively connected to the central position of the front and rear skeletons, and the support rod is connected to the hot shoe socket of the camera through the connector.

Preferably, the umbrella surface is a soft material.

Preferably, the umbrella surface is a transparent waterproof film.

Preferably, the front and rear skeletons are made of a metal material and/or a polymer composite material.

Preferably, the metal materials used in the front and rear skeletons are stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

Preferably, the polymer composite material used in the front and rear skeletons is a polyether polyol composite material doped with ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA).

Preferably, the front skeleton is a flexible skeleton.

Further, the rear skeleton of the umbrella body has a C-shaped cross section, and the umbrella surface is wound on a rotating shaft in the rear skeleton.

Further, the support rod is composed of a front and a rear section, and has a rectangular or circular cross section, the front section is inserted in the rear section, and the rear section is provided with a locking device.

Further, the camera-specific umbrella further includes an umbrella bag made of a waterproof material.

By adopting the technical solution of the invention, the beneficial effects are as follows: The umbrella surface of the special umbrella is closer to the camera body, and the umbrella surface can be curved into a curved surface against the lens, which is both rainproof and windproof, and ensures the camera shooting. stability. The material is made of high-strength light and thin materials, and the structure is plugged and connected. It is easy to install and disassemble, small in size and light in carrying.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the camera-specific umbrella disclosed in the present invention includes an umbrella body and a support rod. The umbrella body includes a canopy surface 7 and front and rear frames 6, 8; the umbrella surface 7 is made of a transparent waterproof film or the like. Made of soft material, light weight, easy to wind up, front and rear frames 6, 8 are made of metal materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy or polymer composite materials, wherein the front skeleton 6 is a flexible skeleton, specifically, A polymer composite material such as a polyether polyol composite material doped with ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or a metal material such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy can be formed into a thin strip or a thin-walled tube or a threaded tube, so that the front Both ends of the skeleton 6 can be freely bent into a desired arc shape, so that the umbrella surface is curved, which is better to be close to the lens, so that the camera can be well protected on a windy rainy day, and the stability of the camera is improved. The umbrella surface 7 is fixed to the front and rear frames 6, 8 , wherein the rear skeleton 8 has a C-shaped cross section, and the umbrella surface 7 passes through the C-shaped notch and is wound around the rotary shaft in the rear skeleton 8 Above, this structure enables the present invention to Pulled out the umbrella assembly 7, 7 to recover the umbrella when not in use to disassemble, in order to carry the collection. Card slots 5 are arranged at the central positions of the front and rear frames 6, 8 respectively, and the front and rear ends of the support rods are respectively provided with chucks adapted to the card slots 5 of the front and rear frames 6, 8 and, of course, can also be supported. A card slot is arranged at the front and rear ends of the rod, and a matching chuck is arranged at a central position of the front and rear frames 6, 8; the support rod is composed of front and rear sections 4 and 2, and the cross section of the support rod is rectangular or The circular shape, the front section 4 of the support rod is inserted in the rear section 2, and the length of the opening of the umbrella surface 7 can be adjusted by changing the depth of insertion of the front section 4, which can be adapted to different lengths of the lens, and the use range is expanded. Branch The rear strut 2 is provided with a locking device 3, and the locking device 3 can be locked by a knob or a card lock.
