Tripod for a camera

This invention relates to a universal head to vertically swing a camera, and, in particular, to a counter-balancing mechanism for counter-balancing the rotative moment arising from the displacement of the bravity center of the camera. The mechanism comprises a cam surface and a roller in a suppressing contact with each other; and said cam surface is formed on one side of the camera mounting table and, rapid free rotation of the camera mounting table is prevented by suppressing the roller contacting with cam surface upon that cam surface; the cam changes the place of contact between the cam and roller in cooperation with the roller as the camera mounting table rotates in order to enhance forces for preventing the rotation of that table.

Counter-balancing mechanism for camera universal head

This invention relates to a camera universal head enabling said camera to vertically rotate or swing and, particularly to a counter-balancing mechanism for balancing rotative moments caused by the displacement of center of gravity in said movement of said camera, and this counter-balancing mechanism for a camera universal head can be formed in a small size and effect a perfect balancing.
