  • Patent number: 9752716
    Abstract: A system (1) for mounting video/photographic equipment (2) on a support head (3), the system comprising a mounting plate (4) which can be fixed to a lower part of the equipment and a seat (20) which is formed in a body (21) of the head and which can house the plate so that the plate can slide along a longitudinal axis (X). A hook (30) is provided on the head and is arranged to pivot between a first, seat-closing, position in which the plate is retained in the seat and a second, seat-opening, position in which the plate is free to enter or leave the seat along an insertion axis (Z) substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (X). The head further comprises locking means for locking the plate inside the seat (20) in a desired position on the longitudinal axis, which comprise a pin (35) which is fixed to the hook and can be translated relative thereto, and which is adapted to bear on the body of the head in order to urge the hook into the first position against the plate.
