  • Publication number: 20110102744
    Abstract: A camera support for cinematography equipment has a perimeter frame with an open central area and is adapted to mount to a secondary support. Track rails extend along the side beams of the frame and mount a camera trolley plate on rollers for sliding movement along the perimeter frame. The camera may be mounted above or below the trolley plate. A magnetic friction device provides controlled resistance to translation. Shock absorbers provide controlled deceleration toward adjustable stops, and repelling magnets on the shock absorbers and stops provide additional controlled deceleration.

  • Patent number: 7794088
    Abstract: The camera support for cinematography equipment has end blocks and side beams forming a perimeter frame with an open central area. The perimeter frame is adapted to mount to a secondary support. Track rails extending along the side beams slidingly mount a trolley plate on rollers received in track slots and a camera is mounted to the trolley plate for sliding movement along the perimeter frame. The camera may be mounted above the trolley plate or below the trolley plate where it is accommodated by the open central area. The trolley plate is mounted on rollers received in slots designed by the track rails, and a magnetic friction device provides controlled resistance to translation.
