One side wall has a cord insertion opening at the front and rear, and each is covered with a transparent lid so that it can be opened and closed, and a side wall between both cord insertion openings has an open wrist insertion opening for operation across the bottom surface. At the same time, one end of a cylindrical cover is provided around the periphery of the insertion port, and a screw insertion hole is provided at a required position on the bottom surface.

[0005] The storage case of the video camera of the second invention is
In the first invention, a transparent viewing window is provided on a rear wall of the upper lid.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The box body and the upper lid are made of a synthetic resin material having a required rigidity so that the video camera can be protected even if the video camera is stowed on the ground in a housed state. Also, a lightweight material such as an aluminum alloy is selected, and the former synthetic resin material is selected from a transparent material to an opaque material. In addition, a transparent viewing window may be provided on the rear wall of the upper cover when the position of the viewfinder of the video camera is opaque depending on the position of the viewfinder.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an opaque synthetic resin box body 1 having a vertically long rectangular parallelepiped and having an open upper surface is provided with a longitudinal front wall. In addition to opening the lens hood insertion opening 2, an eave 3 is provided around the outer periphery of the insertion opening 2, a viewing window 4 is opened on the rear wall, and the viewing window 4 is covered with a transparent lid 5 so as to be openable and closable, The left side wall is provided with two cord insertion ports 6 and 7 at the front and rear, and both are covered with a transparent lid 8 so as to be openable and closable, and the side wall between both code insertion ports 6 and 7 is operated over the bottom surface. The box main body 1 is formed by opening a wrist insertion opening 9 for use, and forming one end of a cylindrical cover 10 around the periphery of the wrist insertion opening 9 and penetrating a screw insertion hole 11 at a required position on the bottom surface. On the other hand, the upper lid 13 attached to the upper end of the right side surface so as to be freely opened and closed by the hinge 12 is Made bright synthetic resin, recesses of the upper surface 14
The handle 15 is housed in an up-and-down manner, and hanging brackets 16 are disposed in front and back of the box body 1 so as to be covered by the opening surface of the box body 1.
Then, a transparent viewing window 18 is provided on the wall.

The storage case a of the video camera thus configured is stored with the lens hood of the video camera inserted into the lens hood insertion opening 2 with the upper lid 13 opened, as indicated by a virtual line on the back surface of the bottom surface. Then, an adapter 19 for fixing a tripod is brought into contact therewith, and a screw 20 inserted into the adapter 19 is screwed to a bottom surface of the video camera through a screw insertion hole 11 penetrating through the bottom surface of the box body 1. Then, the video camera and the adapter 19 are fixed together by tightening, the upper cover 13 is closed, the two are joined by the fastener 17, and the band is held with the handle 15 or the shoulder fastened to the hanging bracket 16 and carried. Cover 10 when shooting
The wrist is inserted into the box body 1, the wrist is inserted through the wrist insertion opening 9 of the box body 1, the grip of the video camera is gripped, and the contents of the display window or the photographing conditions are set by the view window 4 on the rear wall of the box body 1. Check it and start shooting by looking through the viewfinder. A power supply is provided in the cord insertion port 6 which is opened forward on the left side wall of the box body 1.
A cord for voice and recording and reproduction is inserted, and a cord for remote control operation, a cord for headphones, and the like are inserted into the rear cord insertion port 7. In the upper lid 13 of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a concave portion 14 for accommodating the handle 15 is provided on the upper surface, so that the cover 21 can be opened and closed so that rainwater or the like does not stay in the concave portion 14. It is covered. As described above, the video camera is fixed to the rigid box body 1 at all times, and the upper cover 13 is covered to protect the camera from rain, wind, snowfall, etc., so that the video camera can be used even if placed casually outdoors. It has the advantage that it can be photographed immediately without any damage and in that state. In addition, in order to improve the sound collecting performance by the microphone, a plurality of small holes may be formed in the front wall of the upper lid 13 so that rain does not directly blow into the inside.
