As shown inFIGS.1-4, the present disclosure provides a shooting device100that is convenient to adjust a shooting angle. The shooting device100includes a support bracket10, a universal adjusting piece20, a first light emitting piece80, and a fixing piece40. The fixing piece40is configured to fix a shooting terminal200. The first light emitting piece80is disposed on a peripheral side of the fixing piece40. The first light emitting piece80is configured to fill in light of a shooting object photographed by the shooting terminal200. The universal adjusting piece20is connected between the support bracket10and the fixing piece40. The universal adjusting piece20is configured to connect the fixing piece40and the first light emitting piece80to the support bracket10and adjust a shooting angle of the shooting terminal200.

The shooting terminal200is, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer (such as an iPad), and other electronic products having a shooting function.

In one optional embodiment, the universal adjusting piece20is a shapeable coiled pipe. A first end of the shapeable coiled pipe is connected with the support bracket10, and a second end of the shapeable coiled pipe is connected with the fixing piece40.

Furthermore, the shapeable coiled pipe is of a hollow structure, so that a connecting wire (not shown in the drawings) configured to connect the first light emitting piece80and an external power source is allowed to pass through the shapeable coiled pipe, thereby preventing the connecting wire from being exposed and and improving an overall aesthetic effect of the shooting device100.

In another optional embodiment, the universal adjusting piece20includes a ball head21and a fixing rotating sleeve22, and the ball head21is rotatably disposed in the fixing rotating sleeve22.
