Abstract

Strobe stand on which strobe device is mounted is provided. Strobe device includes strobe body and light-emitting housing coupled to strobe body. The strobe stand includes the following elements: base plate having leg; attachment section provided on one surface of base plate for receiving strobe device; and suction pad provided on leg on the other surface of base plate. With this configuration, the bounce angle of light-emitting housing of strobe device can be positioned accurately.

Claims (48)

1. A strobe stand on which a strobe device is mounted, the strobe device including a strobe body, and a light-emitting housing coupled to the strobe body,

the strobe stand comprising:

a base plate including a leg;

an attachment section provided on one surface of the base plate for receiving the strobe device; and

a suction pad provided on the leg on an other surface of the base plate,

wherein the suction pad is one of a plurality of suction pads disposed along a circumferential direction with respect to a rotating center axis of the light-emitting housing in a horizontal direction.

2. An illumination device comprising:

a strobe device including:

a strobe body;

a light-emitting housing coupled to the strobe body;

a bounce mechanism for rotating the light-emitting housing; and

a driver coupled to the bounce mechanism and moving the light-emitting housing in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction; and;

the strobe stand of claim 1 for receiving the strobe device.

3. A strobe stand on which a strobe device is mounted, the strobe device including a strobe body, and a light-emitting housing coupled to the strobe body,

the strobe stand comprising:

a base plate including a leg;

an attachment section provided on one surface of the base plate for receiving the strobe device; and

a suction pad provided on the leg on an other surface of the base plate,

wherein the suction pad is disposed outside a rotational locus of a position of a center of gravity of the light-emitting housing when the light-emitting housing rotates in a horizontal direction.

4. An illumination device comprising:

a strobe device including:

a strobe body;

a light-emitting housing coupled to the strobe body;

a bounce mechanism for rotating the light-emitting housing; and

a driver coupled to the bounce mechanism and moving the light-emitting housing in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction; and;

the strobe stand of claim 3 for receiving the strobe device.

5. A strobe stand on which a strobe device is mounted, the strobe device including a strobe body, and a light-emitting housing coupled to the strobe body,

the strobe stand comprising:

a base plate including a leg;

an attachment section provided on one surface of the base plate for receiving the strobe device;

a suction pad provided on the leg on an other surface of the base plate; and

a vibration-proof sheet disposed between the rotating center axis of the light-emitting housing in a horizontal direction and the suction pad.

6. The strobe stand of claim 5 ,

wherein the vibration-proof sheet is one of a plurality of vibration-proof sheets or an annular vibration-proof sheet disposed along a circumferential direction with respect to the rotating center axis of the light-emitting housing in the horizontal direction.

7. An illumination device comprising:

a strobe device including:

a strobe body;

a light-emitting housing coupled to the strobe body;

a bounce mechanism for rotating the light-emitting housing; and

a driver coupled to the bounce mechanism and moving the light-emitting housing in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction; and;

the strobe stand of claim 6 for receiving the strobe device.

8. An illumination device comprising:

a strobe device including:

a strobe body;

a light-emitting housing coupled to the strobe body;

a bounce mechanism for rotating the light-emitting housing; and

a driver coupled to the bounce mechanism and moving the light-emitting housing in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction; and;

the strobe stand of claim 5 for receiving the strobe device.
