  • Patent number: 4249817
    Abstract: Three separately, manually operable mechanisms quickly and easily permit the independent adjustability of a camera around three perpendicular axes of rotation. The novel assembly consists of four interconnected elements consisting of an adapter, a head member, a body member, and a base member. The adapter is removably attachable to a camera and the base member is movably attachable to a main camera support. The connecting mechanism between the adapter and the head member allows for camera positioning about the vertical axis, the connecting mechanism between the head member and body member allows for camera positioning in a side-to-side direction about a first horizontal axis, and the connecting mechanism between the bodymember and base member allows for camera positioning in a fore and aft direction about a second horizontal axis perpendicular to the first horizontal axis.
