Orientable support for video-photographic apparatuses

Orientable support (1) for video-photographic apparatus, comprising an articulation device (4) with a first (5) and a second articulation member (6) provided with respective attachment means for being attached respectively to a supporting member (2, 20) of said support (1) and to a video-photographic apparatus, or vice versa, and reciprocally movable in order to orient said video-photographic apparatus with respect to said supporting member (20), said first articulation member comprising an internally hollow shell-shaped body (5) defining a housing cavity (10) for said second articulation member (6), said second articulation member comprising a spherical ball (6) capable of sliding in said housing cavity (10), said ball (6) and said housing cavity (10) being shaped in such a way that a gap (11) is formed therebetween, said gap (11) containing a viscous fluid (V) suitable for regulating the rotations of said ball (6) in said housing cavity (10), wherein said gap (11) has a thickness comprised between 0.05 and 0.5 mm, wherein said shell-shaped body (5) further comprises a cup-shaped body (8) with a base portion (8a) facing in use towards the ground, shaped in such a way as to form a cavity (8c) that is open on the opposite side with respect to said base portion (8a) and has an internal wall (S1) that is more or less spherical and intended to house inside it said spherical ball (6), and wherein said shell-shaped body (5) further comprises a ring-shaped element (12) fixable to said cup-shaped body (8) and provided with a through opening (14) whose free edge (14a), facing in the opposite direction with respect to said cup-shaped body (8), limits by interference the ability for said video-photographic apparatus to be oriented with respect to said supporting member, and wherein said shell-shaped body (5) comprises a positioning ring (17) interposed between said cup-shaped body (8) and said ring-shaped element (12) and intended to be coupled with play to said spherical ball (6).
