In a camera stabilization arrangement having a camera holder movable with respect to a plurality of degrees of freedom, an electric drive for the camera holder, an electronic camera fastened to the camera holder and a motion sensor, a control device is configured to control the electric drive in response to motion sensor signals from the motion sensor in order to perform a holder-side image stabilization, and to control an image capturing device of the camera in order to perform a camera-side image stabilization.

Camera stabilization arrangement

A blocking device is configured for blocking a dovetail plate that is flush-mounted in a track of the blocking device. The blocking device includes a base defining a side of the track and a clamping block arranged to be laterally displaceable on the base. The clamping block has a blocking side facing the track and a clamping side opposing the blocking side. A spacing between the blocking side and the clamping side varies in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extent of the track. The blocking device further includes a clamping lever that is rotatably arranged on the base and has a handpiece and an eccentric part. The eccentric part acts on the clamping side for displacing the clamping block.

Mount for camera or camera accessory

The invention relates to a camera support device worn on the body comprising a multifunctional assembly of electrical components. The inventive device is characterized in that an operational mode switch device is used to switch the operational mode of connection devices and signal lines between a first and a second mode. In the first mode, the signal lines are used for transmitting a video signal of a first type. In the second mode, only a part of the signal lines is used for transmitting a video signal of a second type while the remaining signal lines are used for other purposes.

Camera support device worn on the body comprising a multifunctional assembly of electrical components

A spring arm () for a camera body support is provided with a parallelogram guide () which is made up of two opposing legs () disposed parallel to one another and two likewise opposing connecting elements () that connect the respective ends of the legs () with one another, and an energy storage mechanism (), which is supported on two pivot points () on the parallelogram guide (), in order to compensate a load acting on the parallelogram guide (). At least one () of these pivot points () is adjustable in relation to the parallelogram guide () such that both the energy storage mechanism's () pretension and also its action of force direction change.

Spring arm and body support

A camera balance device () having a cardanically suspendable pendulum arm () which is at least partially straight and whereon a camera fixing device () is provided on one side of the cardanic suspension () and a modifiable fixing device () for counterweights is provided on the other side of the cardanic suspension (). At least two independently movable fixing devices () are provided.

Decoupled weight compensation system for a camera balance-device

Disclosed is a cardiac suspension device () for a camera balance device (), comprising two intersecting joint axes (G, G); one of said axes extending vertically (G) (in a perpendicular manner) during operation and the other (G) extending horizontally, in addition to an axis rotation (D) extending through the vertical joint axis (G) and lying perpendicular to the horizontal joint axis (G). A joint output fixing element () can be rotated around the vertical joint axis (G) and is used to fix the cardanic suspension device () on the camera balance device (). A joint input fixing element () can rotate around the axis of rotation (D) and is used to fix the cardanic suspension () to a support. A centering device () is provided in the region of the vertical joint axis (G) and the horizontal joint axis (G), enabling the relative position between the joint output fixing element () and the camera balance device () to be established without slip in said region.
