ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device in connection with cameras for the support of flashlight units (14) on the socket (2) of the lens of the camera, so that the respective flashlight unit (14) will be supported in a laterally displaced manner relative to the central axis (7) of the lens.
By means of the present invention a device is obtained, which among other things is suitable to use in connection with macrophotography, as the device can be handled in a rapid, simple and effective manner, and as the flashlight units (14) used will be located near to the front of the lens and follow the movements thereof.
The device comprises a holder (3), which is arranged to be attached to the socket (2) of the lens of the camera at the front portion of the same. At least two pivoted flashlight supporting pivoting arms (8) are supported on this holder (3), the pivoting axes (6) of which arms (8) being located in diametrically opposed positions each one on its side of the socket (2) of the lens and extending at right angle relative to the central axis (7) of the lens. Each respective arm (8) at its end facing away from said pivot bearing (5, 9) exhibits a swivelling bearing (10, 11) where a swivelling arm (12) supporting the flashlight unit (14) is pivoted.
