A portable remote controlled video production apparatus and method are provided, as is a teleprompter/Interrotron integrated with a camera. A computer is mounted in a rigid cage, the computer having a local portion of remote access remote control software. A camera is fixedly mounted in the cage in communication with the computer; either the camera or the computer have camera control software running thereon. A monitor is fixedly mounted in the cage in front of the camera and parallel to the lens axis; the monitor is in communication with the computer. A beamsplitter is fixedly mounted in the cage in front of the lens reflecting light from the monitor towards a front of the cage. The camera and computer are controllable remotely via a remote portion of the remote access remote control software running on a remote computer communicating with the local portion of the remote access remote control software.

A light-emitting device includes: a light-emitting unit having a light-emitting surface; a light guide member configured to guide incident light from the light-emitting unit, the light guide member including: a total reflection portion configured to reflect the incident light from the light-emitting unit, and a Fresnel lens portion where light reflected by the total reflection portion is incident; and a movement mechanism configured to move the light guide member relative to the light-emitting unit in a direction that intersects a center axis of the light-emitting surface.

A flash housing for photographic purposes can include a flash forming element arranged to generate a flash light, a lens element arranged to let at least part of the generated flash out of the flash housing so as to obtain a flash light, and a fastening element for attachment of a flash light shaping tool on top of the lens element. The fastening element can be arranged at least partly along a border of the lens element for magnetic engagement with a corresponding fastening element at the flash light shaping tool.

A technique for strobe shooting using automatic irradiation direction control. A strobe device includes a light emission section that emits light, and a drive unit that changes an irradiation direction of light emitted from the light emission section. Exposure conditions set to the camera are notified to the strobe device, and light emission conditions are set according to the exposure conditions. The irradiation direction of light emitted from the light emission section is determined based on the exposure conditions and the light emission conditions.

The present disclosure provides a soft light box and a chuck assembly thereof. The chuck assembly includes a chuck and a rotating plate. The chuck includes a carrying ring and a sleeve. The carrying ring is arranged on the outer side of the sleeve and used to carry a plurality of umbrella ribs hingedly connected with the carrying ring. The rotating plate is rotatably sleeved on the sleeve, rotates in a circumferential direction of the sleeve, and moves up and down along the axial direction of the sleeve. The up-down motion of the rotating plate presses the hinged ends of the umbrella ribs, and drives the umbrella ribs to swing relative to the carrying ring.

A camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprising a lens module; an image sensor; a light source; and a translucent mirror, the light source is disposed so that light emitted from the light source intersects an optical axis of the lens module in the first area and disposed in a second area outside the first area, at least a portion of the emitted light is incident to the rear of the lens module by the translucent mirror and projected in front of the lens module through the lens module so that the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus operates as a puddle lamp, and image light passes through the lens module from a photographing area and at least a portion of the image light is incident on the image sensor through the translucent mirror so that the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus operates as a camera.

a camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprising a lens module; an image sensor; and a puddle lamp module, the puddle lamp module includes a light source, a spring, a sliding bar, and a solenoid and is disposed in a second area outside the first area, the light source is formed to be movable to be located in the first area or the second area, the light source is fixed to one side of the sliding bar, a moving part of the solenoid is connected to the other side of the sliding bar, and the spring is formed to be operated to move the sliding bar when the solenoid is switched to a non-operational state so as to move the light source to the second area, the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus operates as a puddle lamp when the light source moves to the first area, and the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus operates as a camera when the light source moves to the second area.

a camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprising a lens module; an image sensor; a light source; and an optical unit, wherein the image sensor is spaced apart from a rear of the lens module so that the image sensor and the lens module are formed to operate as a camera, the light source is disposed to be coplanar with the image sensor and disposed at a peripheral portion of the image sensor, the optical unit is disposed in front of the light source so that light emitted from the light source is directed to a rear end of the lens module, and the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus is formed to operate as a puddle lamp by the light source and the optical unit.

A device for illuminating a motif region, comprising a reflector screen that comprises at least one reflection element, wherein the device includes at least one lighting means comprising at least one LED lamp, in particular a plurality of LED lamps, for illuminating a motif region, at least in portions.
