Gimbal photographing device

Abstract

A gimbal photographing device includes a machine body, a foldable mechanism connected with the machine body, and a gimbal camera connected with the foldable mechanism. The gimbal camera is configured to cling to the machine body through the foldable mechanism and to be positioned in an extended state or a folded state. The machine body includes a support wall configured to support the gimbal camera. The foldable mechanism includes a rotation member rotatably connected with the support wall around a rotation axis direction to cause the gimbal camera to rotate relative to the machine body. The rotation member is configured to cause the gimbal camera to rotate to the folded state in which the gimbal camera clings to the support wall.

         9 . The gimbal photographing device according to  claim 8 , wherein the rotation axis assembly also includes a support member connected with the support wall and including a support surface slantly disposed with respect to the support wall in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis direction, the rotation axis being perpendicularly connected with the support surface. 
     
     
         10 . The gimbal photographing device according to  claim 9 , wherein a tilting angle between the support surface and the support wall is in a range of 40° to 50°. 
     
     
         11 . The gimbal photographing device according to  claim 9 , wherein the rotation axis includes an axis base at one end of the rotation axis and fixed to the support member through a fastening member. 
     
     
         12 . The gimbal photographing device according to  claim 11 , wherein the support member is provided with a positioning groove, and the axis base is provided in the positioning groove. 
     
     
         13 . The gimbal photographing device according to  claim 9 , wherein the rotation member is provided with a through hole extendedly disposed along the rotation axis direction, and the rotation axis is configured to penetrate throughout the through hole. 
     
     
         14 . The gimbal photographing device according to  claim 1 , wherein a tilting angle between the rotation axis direction and the support wall is in a range of 40° to 50°. 
     
     
         15 . The gimbal photographing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the gimbal camera includes:
