    Remote control for cameras
    The invention relates to a remote control for cameras, comprising a handle unit receivable by a user along a handle axis in a first hand and a first operating element operable with a second hand of the user and rotatable about a first axis of rotation, wherein the first axis of rotation is substantially normal a main axis of the remote control stands and spans a main plane with the main axis.
    In the film business certain shooting situations with a camera, especially a professional film camera, without remote control for the camera can not be controlled. This is the case, for example, when the camera is attached to a vehicle or to a mechanical counterbalance arm, a so-called "jib arm", or in shooting situations that require particularly rapid adjustments to changing conditions, such as action or documentation shots. It is important in such remote control, above all, that they are compact, and handy and that, despite their compactness, they have sufficient display and control options that can be read and / or operated quickly and intuitively.
    From the prior art, a remote control for cameras according to Figure 1 is known. The remote control can be operated by a user on a handle unit, which is located on the left in FIG. 1, with one hand and operated with a second hand on a control element, which is located on the right in FIG. By turning the control element, for example, the scales (focus, iris, zoom) of a lens of a camera can be controlled. This known remote control has the disadvantage that the number of existing, intuitively operated controls is insufficient and not ergonomically arranged. Additional operating elements of a plug-on module can, for example, be plugged into a distal front region of the handle unit, but these operating elements are then difficult to reach, the contact between the handle unit and the plug-on module prone to error and wear and the remote control is less compact and handy overall. In addition, it is disadvantageous in some of the known remote control that a display for displaying information on a side surface of the handle unit, whereby a user must rotate the handle unit with each reading, since in an operating condition usually only the top of the handle unit is in a direct field of view of the user ,
    It is an object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages of the known ones
    Remote control for cameras at least reduce.
    The present invention solves this problem in that the handle axis in the main plane is rotated out of the main axis, whereby an angle between the handle axis and the first axis of rotation is greater than 90 degrees, wherein the remote control in the present by the rotation of the handle axis range a control body having additional display means and / or controls.
    Due to the novel design and the corresponding novel technical design of the remote control according to the invention, the area of the surface of the remote control, in the additional display means and / or controls that can be quickly and intuitively read by the user and / or operated to be introduced, advantageous elevated. In this case, the remote control does not lose any of its compactness and manageability, nor does it have error-prone contacts. In addition, the ergonomics of the remote control according to the invention is advantageously improved, since the obtuse angle, ie an angle greater than 90 degrees between the handle axis and the first axis of rotation allows a more natural attitude of the user when he holds the remote control in the designated operating position and / or operated.
    In an expedient embodiment, the operating body has a first section and a second section, wherein in the operating position of the remote control the first section is distal and the second section is proximal to the user. As a result, the operating body can be optimized in terms of intuitive and fast operation.
    In an advantageous embodiment, the first section of the operating body has a trapezoidal cross section parallel to the main plane and the second section of the operating body has a cross section which is at least partially semicircular parallel to the main plane. The surface of the control body is optimized, while maintaining the best possible compactness, in terms of accessibility and intuitive operation of the controls.
    The first section of the operating body expediently has a second operating element on an upper side, preferably with mechanical and / or electronic pressure elements for a thumb of the first hand of the user. The second operating element is thus particularly fast and intuitive to use.
    Particularly expediently, the second section of the operating body has on the upper side a third operating element, preferably with mechanical and / or electronic pressure elements for a thumb of the second hand of the user. The third control element is so particularly fast and intuitive to use.
    In an advantageous embodiment, the second section of the operating body has a round display. The available surface of the control panel is used so well and the display is quick and intuitive to read and / or operate.
    In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the third control element is arranged at least in sections along the circumference of the display. The available surface of the operating body is thus used particularly well.
    In an advantageous embodiment, the second section of the operating body along its semicircular peripheral surface on a fourth axis of rotation rotatable fourth operating element, preferably for operation by the thumb of the second hand of the user, the second axis of rotation is substantially normal to the main plane. The number of additional controls that are quick and intuitive to use by the user is thus increased, while maintaining the compactness and manageability of the remote control according to the invention.
    In another advantageous embodiment, the handle unit has a fifth operating element in an upper distal region, in particular a joystick for operation by the thumb of the first hand of the user. The number of additional controls that are quick and intuitive to use by the user is thus increased, while maintaining the compactness and manageability of the remote control according to the invention.
    In a werteren advantageous embodiment, the first control element is designed as a knob with an activatable and de-activated rotation angle limit. In a first operating mode in which the rotation angle limitation is activated, the rotary knob can be rotated in both directions of rotation by a certain angle less than 360 degrees of angle. In a second operating mode, in which the rotation angle limitation is deactivated, the rotary knob can be rotated in both directions of rotation as long as desired by an angle which can also be greater than 360 degrees.
    Suitably, the remote control for power supply to a battery and a capacitor, wherein the capacitor is adapted for a certain period of time, in particular during the replacement of the battery, to ensure a sufficient power supply of the remote control. As a result, an empty battery can advantageously be changed without the remote control having to be switched off and / or the battery being switched off
    Power supply is interrupted unintentionally.
    The invention is described in more detail below with reference to a non-limiting embodiment and a non-limiting application example with reference to the drawings. In the drawings show

    Operating element of the remote control according to the invention from Figure 2;
    6 shows a schematic illustration, an example of an application of the remote control according to the invention for the objective control of a film camera;
    Reference will now be made to FIGS. 2 to 4, which illustrate an exemplary embodiment of a remote control 1 according to the invention in several views.
    The remote control 1 has a handle unit 2, which is receivable by a user (not shown) along a handle axis GA in a first hand, and a first operating element 3 rotatable about a first axis of rotation DA1. The first operating element 3 may additionally have a pressure mechanism acting along the first axis of rotation DA1, for example in the form of an integrated mechanical pressure element. With the first control element 3, for example, the zoom of a lens of a camera (not shown) can be controlled.
    The first axis of rotation DA1 is substantially normal to a main axis HA of the remote control 1 and spans a main plane E with the main axis HA. "Essentially" here means that the angle between the first axis of rotation DA1 and the
    Main axis HA may deviate in a range of 90 angular degrees known and expected by a person skilled in the art, for example due to production. For example, the angle between the first axis of rotation DA1 and the main axis HA may be in a range between 89 and 91 degrees of angle, whereby a range of 85 to 95 degrees is possible.
    In the illustrated embodiment of the remote control 1 according to the invention are the axis of rotation DA1, the main axis HA and the handle axis GA in the main plane E, wherein the handle axis GA is rotated in the main plane E from the main axis HA, as symbolized in Figure 2 by the corresponding arrow. Consequently, an angle between the handle axis GA and the first axis of rotation DA1 is greater than 90 degrees, which angle may be in a range of approximately 91 to 180 degrees, preferably in a range of approximately 95 to 140 degrees, more preferably in one Range of about 100 to 120 degrees of angle. If a user holds and / or operates a remote control 1 according to the invention according to FIGS. 2 to 4 in a manner provided for this purpose and in an intended operating position, the user encloses the handle unit 2 along the handle axis GA with a first hand, which according to FIG Left hand would be because the remote control 1 in Figure 2 in operating position from above, so from the user's perspective when he holds the remote control 1 in operating position and / or operated, is shown. With a second hand, which according to FIG. 2 would be the right hand, the user can then hold and / or operate the first operating element 3, in particular turning the first axis of rotation DA1 in both directions, clockwise or counterclockwise, as in FIG the corresponding arrows symbolize. The user's thumb of the first, left hand preferably comes in a region 5 on an upper side of the handle unit 2, and the thumb of the second, right hand preferably comes to lie in a proximal region 6 of the first operating element 3. In the following description, the terms "proximal" and "distal" refer to the body of the user correspondingly when holding and / or operating the remote control 1 in its operating position.
    As a result of the gripping axis GA of the remote control 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 2, which is rotated out of the main axis HA in FIG. 1, there is an additional area into which an operating body 4 has been advantageously introduced. The operating body 4 may have a distal first portion 4A and a proximal second portion 4B.
    In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, the first section 4A has a trapezoidal cross section parallel to the main plane E and the second section 4B has a semicircular cross section at least partially parallel to the main plane E. The cross section from the second section 4B consists of a semicircular proximal and a semicircular Trapezoidal distal section consists. In this case, in particular, the trapezoidal sections of the operating body 4 result from the shape of the handle unit 2 and the first operating element 3. Thus, the additional area resulting from the unscrewing of the handle axis GA and the operating body 4 can have any desired shape. This shape and the associated cross sections depend inter alia on the shape of the handle unit 2 and the first control element 3, as well as the direction and the angle with which the handle axis GA is rotated out of the main axis HA. For example, the handle unit 2 may be bent along the handle axis GA and / or may have a concave and / or convexly curved shape, and / or the handle axis GA may be rotated obliquely up / down from the main plane E and out of the main axis HA. In the present exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, the handle unit 2 is bent downwards in a proximal region with respect to the handle axis GA lying in the main plane E.
    The semicircular portion of the operating body 4 has, inter alia, the advantages that the entire second portion 4B of the operating body 4 is easily accessible and consequently fast and intuitive to use. In addition, it has no corners or edges in its proximal peripheral region, which reduces the risk of injury.
    The first section 4A of the operating body 4 may have a second operating element 8 on the upper side 7. Alternatively or additionally, the second section 4B of the operating body 4 on the upper side 7 may have a third operating element 9. The second operating element 8 and the third operating element 9 can have mechanical and / or electronic pressure elements. The printing elements may be mechanical buttons or pressure-sensitive capacitive elements of a touch surface. Alternatively, sliders and / or recessed rotary wheels can be introduced. In addition, optical elements, in particular FEDs and / or OFEDs, and / or acoustic elements, in particular a loudspeaker and / or a microphone, can be introduced. A person skilled in the art will be aware of possible further developments and alternatives.
    Alternatively or additionally, the second section 4B of the operating body 4 may have a round display 11. The display 11 may, for example, display information, possibly in real time, about the lens, the camera and / or the general system status.
    The round display 11 may have pressure-sensitive capacitive elements. The round display 11 may be an LED, E-ink or an OLED-based display. A person skilled in the art knows of possible further developments and alternatives. If a round display 11 is provided, the third operating element 9 can be arranged at least in sections along the circumference of the display 11. This is particularly space-saving and easy to use. The operating body 4 and / or the handle unit 2 and / or the first operating element 3 can / have multiple displays.
    If the operating body 4, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, has a semicircular section in the second section 4B, then a fourth operating element 12 rotatable about a second axis of rotation DA2 can be provided along the semicircular peripheral surface of this section. With the fourth control element 12, for example, it is possible to navigate particularly comfortably in a menu of the remote control 1 and / or the camera, the information for this being able to be displayed in the display 11. The second axis of rotation DA2 is substantially normal to the main plane E. "Substantially" here means that the angle between the second axis of rotation DA2 and the principal plane E can deviate in a range of 90 degrees of angle known and expected by a person skilled in the art, for example production related. For example, the angle between the second axis of rotation DA2 and the principal plane E may be 89 degrees or 91 degrees, with a range of 85 to 95 degrees being possible.
    The handle unit 2 may have a fifth operating element 13 in an upper distal area, in particular a joystick. With the fifth operating element 13, for example, the zoom of a lens of the camera can be controlled even more precisely, or certain automatically recognized elements or areas of a recorded image can be selected. Display means 14, in particular LED or OLED elements, may in this case be provided for displaying the current setting or position (s) of the fifth operating element 13.
    The operating body 4 may, as shown in Figure 2, have additional controls, such as a slider 15, which may be provided for adjusting the iris of the lens of the camera, and / or a mechanical push-button 16, the start / stop the recording the camera can be provided. In addition, the remote control 1, an antenna 17 for wireless data communication and / or slots 18 for receiving connectors for wired data communication, as shown in Figure 4, have.
    The remote control 1 can be powered by means of a disposable battery and / or by means of a rechargeable battery, in particular a rechargeable battery, which is located for example in the handle unit 2 or the operating body 4, with energy. Advantageously, the remote control 1 for power supply in addition to a removable and / or permanently installed capacitor, which is designed for a certain period of time alone, so without the battery to ensure sufficient power to the remote control 1. Thus, for example, a necessary replacement of an empty battery during operation can be completed without that the remote control 1 must be turned off and / or the power supply is interrupted unintentionally. For example, the period of time during which the capacitor powers the remote control 1 alone may be between ten (10) seconds and one (1) minute, preferably about 20 seconds. A permanently installed capacitor may for example be a so-called double-layer capacitor, also called "gold cap". If a user holds and / or operates the remote control 1 according to the invention in operating position according to FIGS. 2 to 4, then he can operate the second operating element 8, the fifth operating element 13 and / or the slide control 15, preferably with the thumb of the first, left hand, and he can, preferably with the thumb of the second, right hand, the third control element 9, optionally the display 11, the fourth control element 12 and / or the push-button element 16 operate. Thus, the remote control 1 according to the invention allows the user a versatile fast and intuitive control of a camera, the remote control 1 is compact, handy and ergonomic to hold and / or operate.
    Alternatively, the user may operate each control 3, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16 and / or the display 11 with each finger and / or thumb of each hand or with an object such as a stylus.
    FIG. 5 shows the first operating element 3 according to FIGS. 2 to 4 in an isolated perspective view. The first control element 3 is designed as a rotary knob with an activatable and de-activated rotation angle limit. The rotary angle limit consists of two end stops 19 and one, with the rotary knob mitbewegenden stop 20. The end stops 19 can be fixed by means of screws or spring pins along the circumference of the knob at a certain point. The stop 20 can also be detected by means of a
    Be fixed screw or a spring pin. By means of an activating means 21, which may be designed as a screw as in Figure 5, the rotation angle limiter can be activated or deactivated, for example by the rotation angle limit is decoupled by turning the screw from the knob or coupled to the knob. Thus, in a first operating mode in which the rotation angle limitation is activated, the rotary knob in both directions of rotation only up to the end stops 20, that is, by an angle smaller than 360 degrees. In a second operating mode in which the rotation angle limitation is deactivated, the rotary knob can be moved in any desired direction in both directions of rotation, ie by an angle which can also be greater than 360 degrees.
    Figure 6 shows a possible application example of the remote control 1 according to the invention as part of a system 10 for lens control of a lens 22 of a film camera 23. The remote control 1 communicates wirelessly, or alternatively wired, with an interface 24. The interface 24 in turn can via cable 25, or alternatively wirelessly, be connected to the film camera 23 and / or at least one motor 26. leather motor 26 may be electrically driven, for example by means of the energy from a battery 27 to drive via a gear 28 of the motor 26, a gear 29 of the lens 22 ("daisy chain" connection). Alternatively, the motor 26 may also have the interface 24 directly. A user can thus control, for example by means of the remote control 1, the focus, the iris and / or the zoom of the objective 22 and / or the starting / stopping of the recording of the film camera 23.
