Abstract: Disclosed is a stop brake for a tripod head, particularly for film or television cameras. The tripod head may include (a) a substantially cylindrical brake caliper, which has a main body for insertion into a receiving opening in a housing part of the tripod head and (b) a brake block for engaging with a brake disk, and (c) a locking device in order to engage and disengage the brake block with/from the brake disc. An expanding section is provided in the region of the outer circumference of the main body of the brake caliper. The expanding section is deflected radially outward in the direction of an inside wall of the receiving opening upon engaging the brake block with the brake disc.

Abstract: Stand, in particular camera stand, comprising: a receptacle for mounting an apparatus, in particular a camera; and at least one leg which is connected to the receptacle and comprises at least two telescopic units (T1, T2), of which a first telescopic unit (T1) is connected to the receptacle and a second telescopic unit (T2) is displaceable relative to the first telescopic unit and can be locked in a desired position in relation to the first telescopic unit (T1), characterized in that two locking points set apart in the longitudinal direction of the leg are provided between the second telescopic unit (T2) and the first telescopic unit (T1) for locking the telescopic units (T1, T2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a stop brake for a tripod head (1), particularly for film or television cameras, comprising a substantially cylindrical brake caliper (8, 8?, 8?), which has a main body (84, 84?, 84?) for insertion into a receiving opening (7) designed in a housing part of the tripod head (1) and a brake block (82) for engaging with a brake disk (11) provided in the tripod head (1), and locking means in order to engage and disengage the brake block (82) with/from the brake disc (11), characterized in that an expanding section is provided in the region of the outer circumference of the main body (84, 84?, 84?) of the brake caliper (8, 8?, 8?), said section being deflected radially outward in the direction of an inside wall of the receiving opening (7) upon engaging the brake block (82) with the brake disc (11).
