Abstract: A shock-absorption head includes a connector, a moving component, a supporting component, and a shock-absorption structure. The shock-absorption head can induce a swaying motion in the supporting component, counteracting any tendency of a camera to swing. This motion, facilitated by the shock-absorption structure's telescopic movement, effectively mitigates the centrifugal force resulting from the camera's oscillation. The shock-absorption head can minimize the risk of detachment between the camera and the shock-absorption arm, thereby preventing camera instability and ensuring the steadiness of the captured image.
