Abstract: A panner for a camera or the like has a base on which is mounted a housing carrying a support for the camera or the like mounted above the housing. Drive means serve to rotate the housing relate to the base about a first axis so that the camera may be clamped about this axis. The support is pivotal above a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis. An arm extends from the support into the housing and second drive means serve to reciprocate the end of the arm distal of the support and to rotate this support about the second axis.
