Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a magnetic recording/reproducing device having an integral structure of a recording camera section and a magnetic recording/reproducing section. FIG. 1 shows one type of recording camera. In Fig. 1, 1 is the grip, 2 is the lens, 3 is the viewfinder, 4 is the microphone, 5 is the REC button, 6 is the probe, and 7 is the main body. The one with this configuration is relatively small and has a grip 1 installed at the bottom of the main body 7.
is supported with one hand, and the lens 2 is operated with the free hand. However, this configuration has the disadvantage that it is difficult to support and has poor operability when the weight is somewhat large (approximately 1.2 kg or more). FIG. 2 shows another type of recording camera. In this configuration, the grip 1 installed at the bottom of the main body 7 is grasped with one hand, the shoulder rest 8 also provided on the main body 7 is placed on the shoulder, and the operation is performed with one free hand. This configuration has the disadvantage that the main body 7 needs to be extended from the human eye to the shoulder position, resulting in a large size. In addition, as is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, the recording camera has a structure in which the lens 2, grip 1, and shoulder rest 8 protrude from the main body 7, which poses problems in portability and stationability.

A highly functional magnetic recording/reproducing device is a small device that is used together with a recording camera and has a configuration that can be hung over the shoulder, but of course this is not a configuration suitable for photographing.

By the way, a magnetic recording/reproducing device integrated with a recording camera is relatively small and weighs several kilograms. Therefore, if the conventional recording camera is configured to be supported with one hand on the grip (FIG. 1), it will be too heavy and maneuverability will be poor, and if it is a shoulder-mounted type (FIG. 2), it will be unnecessarily large. Furthermore, there are problems with portability and ease of installation in indoor recording/playback conditions.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a magnetic recording and reproducing device that integrates a recording camera and a magnetic recording and reproducing device, and is easy to operate as a camera, easy to install as a magnetic recording and reproducing device, and is compact and portable. be.

Therefore, in the present invention, the recording camera and the magnetic recording/reproducing device are mounted horizontally together, and the grip section is installed directly on the housing containing the magnetic recording/reproducing device and the recording camera, and the operation section necessary for shooting is placed nearby. Place it in
The structure is such that it is possible to operate the camera while supporting it with both hands.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a recording camera and a magnetic recording/reproducing device placed horizontally. 2 is a lens for a recording camera, 3 is a viewfinder, and 9 is a switch for operating lenses such as zoom and focus for adjusting the lens 2, which is provided near the grip 1 of the present invention.

10 is a jack for extending the microphone that records the sound of the subject during shooting, a jack for earphones to check the recorded sound, and an audio and video output terminal for connecting to the RF converter during playback. It is a jack that includes terminals for charging the built-in battery, and terminals for connecting to a power source during TV recording and playback. Reference numeral 11 denotes a cassette box for storing a cassette containing a magnetic tape for magnetic recording.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a switch for starting and stopping recording during shooting, which is placed near the grip 1, and a LOCK switch for turning the shooting ON/OFF is installed near it. Reference numeral 12 denotes a housing containing a recording camera and a magnetic recording/reproducing device which are placed horizontally, and both sides are integrated with the grip 1. When shooting on the housing,
Screws for attaching a tripod (not shown) and screws for attaching a movie light (not shown) used for indoor shooting, etc. are installed, and on the top there is a knob for turning the power on and off, and a knob 13 for the aperture of the camera. The operation button 14 of the magnetic recording and reproducing device is covered with a lid to prevent erroneous operation.
is placed. Fig. 4 shows the usage status of the present invention as a camera, and Fig. 5 shows the TV recording/playback status. In Figure 5, 15 has a built-in RF converter.
This is an AC adapter that supplies power, charges batteries, etc.

A recording camera and a magnetic recording/reproducing device are placed horizontally, and a grip 1 is installed integrally on both sides of a housing 12 that covers them, and a switch 9 for zooming and focusing a lens 2 is placed near the grip 1, and a switch 9 for focusing is placed on the opposite side. Since the push button 5 for shooting ON and OFF is arranged, necessary operations can be performed while supporting the camera with both hands during shooting, as shown in Figure 4. This greatly reduces the feeling of fatigue caused by the weight, which was a problem in the past. Improves sex. Furthermore, since there is no need to install the grip 1 and the shoulder rest 8, the number of parts can be reduced, space can be reduced, and the size can be kept to the minimum necessary size. Therefore, it is small and has good portability. In addition, as shown in Figure 3, there is no protruding part and the recording camera and magnetic recording/playback device are placed horizontally, so the ease of installation when recording and playing indoors is also different, as shown in Figure 5. It is good and does not have a Japanese feel.

A magnetic recording/reproducing device integrated with a recording camera is required to have contradictory performance such as operability as a camera and stationability as a magnetic recording/reproducing device, but according to the present invention, both of these can be satisfied, and an even more compact design is possible. It has a good structure and is easy to carry. Furthermore, since it has the simplest configuration, the number of parts is small, productivity is high, and costs can be reduced.

As described above, with the present invention, there is no need to add a grip or a shoulder rest, so it is possible to prevent an increase in size and weight, reduce the number of parts, improve productivity, and reduce costs.

Furthermore, since the recording camera and the magnetic recording/reproducing device are mounted horizontally as one unit and can be operated while supporting the camera with both hands, the user hardly feels the weight and has good operability. Furthermore, since there is no grip, shoulder rest, etc., it is easy to place as a magnetic recording/reproducing device, and since it is small, it is easy to carry.
