Adjusting seat and photographing device using the same
An adjusting seat includes a base, an adjustment unit and a worm gear. The adjusting seat has two supporting portions. The adjustment unit includes an assembly portion, two extending portions and a teeth portion. The assembly portion includes a first surface and a second surface. The two extension portions protrude from the first surface of the assembly portion so as to form an accommodation space with the assembly portion. The two extension portions are pivoted on the two support portions, respectively. The teeth portion is located on the second surface. The worm gear is pivoted on the base and meshed with the teeth portion, when the worm gear is rotated relative to the base. The teeth portion is rotated according to a rotation of the worm gear so as to drive the adjustment unit to simultaneously rotate relative to the base.
