Abstract
A camera supporting device includes a supporting frame, an outer casing, a camera holding structure, and a linkage mechanism. The outer casing is rotatably connected to the supporting frame. The camera holding structure is rotatably connected to the supporting frame independently of the outer casing. The linkage mechanism incudes a driving part and a driven part kinematically connected to the driving part. The driving part is fixedly connected to the camera holding structure. The driven part is fixedly connected to the outer casing. An image-capturing device can be fixed on the camera holding structure. Through the camera holding structure driving the outer casing through the linkage mechanism, the outer casing can provide a wider angle range available for the image-capturing device to capturing exterior images.
