Abstract

The main component of the steadycam's support element is made form only one component upon which both the camera and also the handle are directly fastened. A joint consisting of a ball lies upon a flat surface. The handle (6) is variably movable on the support element, and a counterweight (9) is eccentrically fastened and at the same time freely adjustable. No further adjusting devices are required for the adjusting of the side balance. The counterbalancing can be carried out without additional tools by using only the fittings fastened to the support element.
