Abstract

1,240,837. Camera support system. RANK ORGANISATION Ltd. 14 May, 1969 [16 May, 1968], No. 23341/68. Heading F4R. [Also in Division G2] Parallelogram linkages 10 and 18 are mounted on a platform 8 to allow a camera 34 or other equipment, e.g. studio lights, to be moved in the common vertical plane or rotated about a support pillar 2. The weight of the system is counterbalanced by applying forces to the additional linkage 23, 24 at suitable points such as indicated by the arrows, the forces being gravitational, pneumatic or hydraulic. The driving actuators of the system (not shown) are controlled by the operator in the cabin 30. The pillar may be strapped to the wall or roof of a studio by strut 6, and cables may be led from the wall or roof to the camera via the units 10 and 18 and a slip ring system (not shown). The linkages 10, 18 may be indirectly connected via an intermediate member (not shown).
