Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to imaging equipment. In particular, the invention relates to an inductive and multi-view virtual reality panoramic video recording platform with a travelling mechanism.

BACKGROUND

A camera is a tool that transforms optical image signals into electrical signals for storage or transmission. When we shoot an object, the light reflected by the object is collected by the camera lens to focus on the light-receiving surface of the camera device, and then converted the light into electricity by the camera device to obtain the “video signal”.

Traditional mobile shots and follow shots can be generally divided into two ways. One is to directly rely on cameraman by means of hand-held video camera to complete. This requires high cameraman's skills and anti-shake performance of the camera. Professionals are required to compose view, and shoot in a steady way. Another way is to use professional slide rails and rail cars to shoot. This requires many equipment and related personnel to operate which is more complicated. In addition, cameras are often required to be rotated during shooting. In the known art, a rotating supporter is provided with a turntable with a scale. It is inconvenient to read the rotation angle manually.
