Abstract: A holding and moving device includes a support foot, a bearing arm secured pivotably onto the support foot to form a useful load side section and a weight-side section, a first pivot arm connected to the useful load side section of the bearing arm for attachment of a useful load and/or holding device for a useful load, and a second pivot arm connected to the weight-side section of the bearing arm for attachment of a balance weight. The bearing arm and the first and second pivot arms are connected to one another such that the alignment of the first and second pivot arms are essentially parallel to one another in each position. The second pivot arm and/or the weight-side section are designed such that the weight of the first pivot arm and/or of the useful load side section is balanced in each position of the holding and moving device.
