  • Patent number: 9360743
    Abstract: Support head (1) for video-photographic equipment comprising a base (2) intended to be fixed to a support structure, at least one body (3, 4, 5) rotating with respect to said base (2) so as to rotate about a respective rotation axis (X, Y, Z) defined on said head (1), a telescopic activation device (30, 40, 50) of said at least one body (3, 4, 5) for rotating said body with respect to said rotation axis (X, Y, Z) comprising a shaft (31, 41) extending along a longitudinal axis (A, B) fixed to a first end thereof (31a, 41a) to said at least one body (3, 4, 5) and a handle (32, 42) associated with a second end (31b, 41b) of said shaft (31, 41) longitudinally opposite to said first end (31a, 41a), said handle (32, 42) being slidable with respect to said shaft (31, 41) so as to be displaceable along said longitudinal axis (A, B) between a working configuration (W), wherein said handle (32, 42) is positioned for controlling the rotation said at least one body (3, 4, 5) about said rotation axis (X, Y, Z) and a non-w

  • Patent number: 9223189
    Abstract: A support head (1) for video-photographic equipment comprising a base (2), a first body (5) rotating with respect to the base so as to oscillate about a first axis of rotation (X) of the head, and a first lever (10) extending from the first body along a longitudinal axis (A) and comprising a first end (12a) housed in a seat (13) obtained in the first body and a second end (12b) spaced from the first body. The first lever (10) may oscillate with respect to the first body about an axis of oscillation (P), passing through the first end (12a) and incident with the longitudinal axis (A), between an operating position in which the first lever is designed to control the oscillation of the first body about the first axis of rotation and a non-operating position of minimum encumbrance of the support head.
