Abstract
Described is a system for supporting a camera, said camera being fixed on an articulated head which allows the homogeneous movement along axes Zpan and Ytilt, said articulated head being equipped with variable fluid dampening means and counterbalancing means, for annulling the weight of the camera when rotated about the Ytilt axis, aid system being equipped with a structure for the rotation of the camera about a third Xroll axis, said structure being interposed between said head, above the same, and said camera, below the same.
Claims6
A system for supporting a camera, said camera being fixed on an articulated head permitting smooth movement along Zpan and ytilt axes, said articulated head being provided with dampening variable fluid means and counterbalancing means, to annul the weight of the camera when rotated about the Ytilt axis, said system being provided with a structure for rotation of the camera around a third Xroll axis, said structure being interposed between said head, above the same, and said camera, below the same, and comprising, from the articulated head to the camera, fixing means to the articulated head, a first and a second profiled elements, hinged in correspondence of the Xroll axis, so as to allow a complete 360° rotation γ of said second profiled element with respect to said first profiled element about the Xroll axis, having at least a first arm substantially parallel with respect to a support plane of the system and a second arm substantially perpendicular with respect to said first arm, said first profiled element being coupled to said fixing means to the articulated head, said first and second profiled elements being provided with means for mutual adjustment and the camera along two planes parallel with respect to said first and second arm, a machine plate, coupled above said second profiled member, and supporting above said camera, the profiled element having an interface for coupling with the head, by said fixing means, and the profiled element having an interface allowing the fixing of the camera, by the plate.
