Remote control position detection device null for video camera

摘要

PURPOSE:To operate a video camera by a person himself to be photographed by providing a remote controller position detecting signal receiving means and an ordinary signal light emitting means, connecting a main body support part and a main body by a rotating body, receiving the output of said light receiving means and directing the central axis of the main body to a remote controller. CONSTITUTION:A signal from the remote controller 1 to a light receiving part 2 is fed in an infrared ray. A remote control position detecting function is detected by the incident angle of the infrared ray to the light receiving part 2. Light receiving elements 21, 22, 23 are fixed with mounting directions respectively changed and have a narrow directivity by a reflector 24. A light receiving element 25 has a wide directivity and can receive an ordinary signal from any direction. The light receiving part 2 is mounted on the video camera 30 and the video camera 30 is fixed to a tripod 32 through a motor 31. When the person 33 to be photographed operates the remote controller 1, the light receiving part 2 detects the direction of the remote controller 1, detects the difference of an angle from the central axis of the video camera 30, rotates the motor 31 and directs the central axis of the video camera 30 to the direction of the remote controller 1.
