Imaging device and camera grip, and imaging system

Abstract

A mount section 35 on which a camera grip 60 is mounted in an attachable and detachable manner is provided in an imaging device 30, and a mount section 65 that is mounted on the imaging device 30 in an attachable and detachable manner is provided in the camera grip. The attachment and detachment of the camera grip 60 can be easily performed and manipulability can be improved by providing the mount sections 35 and 65 provided in the imaging device and the camera grip with a bayonet mechanism. Further, a connection cable 75 that connects the imaging device 30 and the camera grip 60 is wound or rewound around the mount section 65 in accordance with the rotational movement of a grip main body section 61 with the mount section 65 as the axis, and the connection cable 75 does not become an obstacle to the switch manipulation of a manipulation section 62 provided in the camera grip 60. The manipulability of an imaging system can be improved.

1 . An imaging system, comprising:
 a mount section configured to mount a camera grip in an attachable and detachable manner on an imaging device main body; and   a cable guide section configured to regulate a position of a connection cable that connects a camera grip main body section and the imaging device main body,   wherein the mount section has a bayonet mechanism to attach and detach the camera grip with the imaging device main body, and   wherein the connection cable is configured to move along with a rotation of the camera grip main body section, the connection cable being guided by the cable guide section during the rotation.   
     
     
         2 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable guide section is located on a same side of the imaging device main body as the camera grip main body section. 
     
     
         3 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable guide section is located on a same side of the imaging device main body as the mount section. 
     
     
         4 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable guide section regulates the position of a connection cable to a direction winding around the mount section. 
     
     
         5 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the imaging device main body includes an electronic connector that connects the imaging device main body with the connection cable, and
 wherein the cable guide section is located in front of the electronic connector with respect to a viewing direction of the imaging system.   
     
     
         6 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable guide section is provided with the camera grip main body section. 
     
     
         7 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable guide section includes a cable guide protrusion section which is provided in a circumferential direction of the mount section. 
     
     
         8 . The imaging system according to  claim 7 , wherein the cable guide section includes a cable guide trench section which is formed in a circumferential direction of the mount section. 
     
     
         9 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the camera grip main body section is rotated with respect to the mount section, with the mount section as an axis. 
     
     
         10 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a lock release device configured to allow rotation of a camera grip main body section with respect to the mount section.   
     
     
         11 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein a cable direction of the connection cable that connects the imaging device main body and the camera grip is set to a tangential direction with respect to the mount section. 
     
     
         12 . The imaging system according to  claim 5 , wherein the cable guide section is provided in a position spaced apart from the electronic connector. 
     
     
         13 . The imaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable guide section is provided in a position spaced apart from the mount section. 
     
     
         14 . The imaging system according to  claim 10 , wherein the lock release device is provided with the camera grip main body section. 
     
     
         15 . The imaging system according to  claim 14 , wherein the lock release device is configured to be manipulated by a user to release an engagement state of the lock release device.
