When the position of the camera 200 in the first direction needs to be adjusted, the operator releases the first fastener 113 first, so that the first slider 112 can slide on the first adjusting rod 111, and dials the first slider 112 to a desired position, at this time, the first slider 112 also drives the whole second adjusting mechanism 2 to slide to a desired position in the first direction, and finally the first slider 112 is fixed on the first adjusting rod 111 through the first fastener 113, so that the position adjustment in the first direction is completed.
When the position of the camera 200 in the second direction needs to be adjusted, the operator releases the second fastener first, so that the second slider can slide on the second adjusting rod and toggle the second slider to a required position, at this time, the second slider also drives the whole third adjusting mechanism 4 to slide to a required position in the second direction, and finally the second slider is fixed on the second adjusting rod through the second fastener, namely, the position adjustment in the second direction is completed.

Thereby, the provision of the reinforcing rod 23 can play a reinforcing role, thereby further improving the smoothness of the camera 200 when the position is adjusted in the second direction. It will be appreciated that, in some examples, when the second direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the second sliding member needs to drive the third adjusting mechanism 4 and the camera 200 to slide up and down, and the reinforcing rod 23 can avoid the second adjusting mechanism 2 from tilting.
In some examples, the first adjusting rod 111 and the second adjusting rod may be chrome-plated rods, and the chrome-plated rods may have higher hardness, so that the camera 200 has better stability in adjusting the position, and the first connecting plate 22, the second connecting plate 24 and the connecting piece 3 may be made of aluminum alloy materials.

Wherein the axis of the third adjustment mechanism 4 is coaxial with the axis of the knob 41 and the axis of the connecting rod 42, whereby, when the knob 41 is rotated, the connecting rod 42 is also rotated about its own axis. Specifically, when the axis is parallel to the horizontal plane, the camera 200 can be rotated to a top view or a bottom view or other desired angles when the connecting rod 42 drives the camera 200 to rotate, so as to be better adapted to various use scenes.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, as an embodiment, the connecting member 3 includes a first clamping portion 31 and a second clamping portion 32, the connecting rod 42 is located between the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 32, and a deformation groove 33 is provided between the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 32;
