Abstract: A camera platform used to mount, on a supporting body such as a tripod, a lighting fixture that illuminate a subject is structured with an attachment base fixed on the supporting body and a fixing attachment mounted on it. The attachment is such that a supporting arm that bypasses the lighting fixture and extends upwardly is disposed so as to be continued to a base on which a fixing seat for the lighting fixture is provided, the lighting fixture being on the fixing seat. A fixing hole used to fix an axis bar at the central portion of a reflector is formed at an end of the arm of the supporting arm. A positional relationship between the fixing seat for the lighting fixture, the fixing seat being mounted on the base, and the fixing hole in the supporting arm is set so that the light emitting portion of the lighting fixture is disposed so as to be adjacent to the central portion of the reflector, the central portion being attached into the fixing hole.

Abstract: There is disclosed a tripod head for mounting a device to be held (such as an illumination device) to a support base at an adjustable angle of depression or elevation. The tripod head is designed to avoid increase in size of a mounting member that supports the device to be held. Furthermore, hand fingers are prevented from entering an arc-shaped groove formed in a disk used to adjust the angle of the held device; otherwise, the fingers would be injured. The tripod head permits a mounting member 3, which is used to hold the device 10 to be held, to be mounted on a support base 2 such that the angle of depression or elevation of the device can be adjusted. The mounting member 3 has a mounting shaft 32 mounted to the support base 2. The mounting shaft 32 extends horizontally through the support base and is rotatably pivoted to it. The mounting shaft has a front-end portion extending through the support base. A disk 33 is mounted to the front-end portion.
