Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize the fatigue of a photographer caused by a grip by making the grip shiftable in front and rear directions and upper and lower directions and also rotatable around a horizontal axis which is nearly orthogonally crossing with the optical axis of a lens part as a center.
SOLUTION: The portable photographing device 10 is provided with a photographing device main body 12, a lens part 14 projected forward and a grip part 16 where the photographer puts his or her palm of one hand on during photographing. The grip part 16 is provided with a grip 20 for placing the palm. The grip 20 is provided with a strap 22 to stably positioning the hand of the photographer on it. The grip part 16 has a grip moving mechanism, is moved in the front, rear and vertical directions by the mechanism and rotated in the circumferential direction with a prescribed horizontal axis as a center. Besides, the grip 20 can be moved to an optimum place with the least load with the fulcrum 62 of an elbow as the center, for example.
