The other end of the parallelogram linkage is supported on a tripod. Universal adjustment is provided to enable the viewing device to be moved about a circle in either a horizontal plane or a vertical plane. An adjustable weight is provided on the tripod end of the parallelogram linkage to counterbalance the weight of the viewing device.
