Abstract:
1. A support head for video-photographic equipment comprising: a base comprising a pin defining a first axis of rotation (X) of said head, a first body coupled in a rotary manner with the base in order to rotate about the first axis of rotation (X) and comprising a first braking member and a second braking member which embrace said pin on opposite sides and may be reciprocally closed together in order to abut against said pin and lock the rotation of the first body about the base, as well as a first lever extending from the first body along a longitudinal axis (A) and comprising a first end housed in a seat obtained in the first body and a second end spaced from the first body, wherein the first lever may oscillate with respect to the first body about an axis of oscillation (P) passing through the first end and incident with respect to the longitudinal axis (A), between an operating position in which the first lever is arranged to cause the first body to oscillate about the first axis of rotation and a non-operating position of minimum encumbrance, wherein the seat for the first end of the lever is obtained in the first braking member and the second braking member is traversed by a slot guiding the oscillation of the first lever between the operating position and the non-operating position and in that the lever, when in the operating position, abuts on the second braking member in order to control the reciprocal closing together of the first and second braking members about the pin.
