Description

The present invention relates to a camera tripod for shooting at a low angle.

When shooting at a low angle with a conventional tripod, a large space was required to open the tripod in three directions, and the installation location was often subject to considerable restrictions. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
JP-A-8-297325

When shooting at a low angle with a camera tripod according to the prior art, fully open the tripod in three directions and require a wide space, and use it in a place where the installation location is inclined or uneven There were a lot of instability and a lot of inconvenience.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to set a low angle to the ground surface, which could not be achieved with a conventional tripod, and to various undulating ground surfaces. It is to be able to cope.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the camera tripod of the present invention is characterized in that a tripod pedestal of the tripod base is provided with a piercing leg that can be pierced into soil or the like.

By simply exchanging long, short and thin piercing legs according to the terrain and soil conditions of the shooting location, you can easily handle a variety of shootings.

As described above, the camera tripod of the present invention is greatly different from the installation method in the case of shooting at a low angle with a conventional tripod. The pierced leg can be inserted freely according to the situation of the shooting location, and can be set freely at the height intended by the photographer, such as an inclined place or an uneven place.

It also prevents camera shake due to wind and camera shutter vibration, and provides stable low-angle shooting.

In addition, the tripod base, tripod pipe, and piercing leg can be easily attached and detached, so that the equipment is not bulky and can be gathered compactly, reducing the physical burden of carrying around.

In addition, by attaching a high-angle leg to the tripod pedestal's leg opening / closing part and the tripod pipe attachment / detachment screw of the first stepped pipe, it is easy to handle high-angle shooting, and the ground surface has a low angle. A wide range of shooting environments from high angle to high angle can be provided.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 1, the camera tripod of the present invention is used by inserting a piercing leg 3 into a leg opening / closing portion 2 of a tripod base 1 and piercing it into soil or the like.

The piercing leg 3 can be pierced to the height of the position intended by the photographer, and the height of the piercing leg 3 can be adjusted freely. Since it can be installed, it is possible to provide stable and quick shooting.

Further, the camera tripod can be adapted to a wide range of applications from low angle to high angle by attaching a high-angle telescopic leg pipe 5 to the leg opening / closing part 2 of the tripod base 1.

In addition, since the piercing leg 3 can be easily replaced with a leg having a different thickness and length according to the soil condition of the camera installation place, various installation methods can be provided.
