Abstract:
1. 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 at least two independently movable fixing devices structured and arranged to support counterweights provided on the other side of the cardanic suspension; an independent fixing device for a monitor provided on said pendulum arm; at least one sliding element ( two of the fixing devices each comprise at least one backing plate ( at least one of the backing plates is arranged on said at least one sliding element to be translationally slidable to and from a longitudinal axis of the pendulum arm independently from the other backing plates to adjust distance between a counterweight attached to said at least one backing plate and the longitudinal axis of the pendulum arm, and another backing plate is pushable onto at least one sliding element such that a counterweight attached to said another backing plate may be located in a first position, in which the counterweight is positioned below the pendulum arm and substantially on the longitudinal axis of the pendulum arm, in a second position, in which the counterweight is spaced from the longitudinal axis of the pendulum arm.
