Abstract
Apparatus for mounting and positioning an associated device such as a camcorder which includes a transmitter for producing a control signal, a substantially fixed platform and a control apparatus including a plurality of sensors disposed in a plane at angularly spaced intervals about a first axis. Each of the plurality of sensors is constructed to receive a first control signal radiated by the transmitter. The apparatus also includes structure to discriminate which of the plurality of sensors is receiving the control signal from the transmitter and utilizes that information to drive the servomechanism.
