Abstract: A quick-release coupling device for optical equipment includes male and female elements that can be coupled. The male element includes a cylindrical body having a circumferential groove and the female element includes a sleeve body defining an engagement seat that extends along an axial direction and is arranged to house the cylindrical body in a coupled manner. The device includes retaining members guided radially in respective seats of the sleeve body and selectively project into the engagement seat in order to engage with the circumferential groove and a collar guided axially outside the sleeve body and has, for each, a respective slider inclined with respect to the axial direction to move the corresponding retaining member radially into the seat resulting from movement of the collar along the axial direction. A springing member urges the collar to a position where the sliders move the respective retaining members inside the engagement seat.

Abstract: A support head for video/photographic equipment includes: a body on which a seat is formed, which is provided to receive an attachment plate of the video/photographic equipment, and on which body a first and a second region are defined, the regions are separated by the seat, a retaining device movable between a first position and a second position so that the attachment plate is free to enter or come out of the seat, a locking device for locking and unlocking the attachment plate in the seat, the locking device has a control member positioned on the first region of the body, a safety device to prevent the retaining device from accidentally moving from the first position to the second position, and an unlocking element of the safety device to allow the movement of the retaining device from the first to the second position, on the second region of the body.
