Abstract:
1. A media support system, comprising: a telescoping hollow shaft having a first shaft end and a second shaft end; said telescoping hollow shaft comprising at least two separate hollow shaft segments that fit into one; a manually rotatable handle operatively mounted relative to the first shaft end; said manually rotatable handle comprising: at least one handle rotator, a grip sleeve attached over the handle rotator; a mounting device rotational actuator operatively mounted to the second shaft end; said mounting device rotational actuator comprising a main head unit, and a bottom enclosure secured to said main head unit by at least one fastener screw; a telescoping drive rod extending through the telescoping hollow shaft, said telescoping drive rod having a first drive rod end operatively linked to the rotatable handle by a drive rod connector, and a second drive rod end operatively linked with the mounting device rotational actuator; said main head unit comprising: a first horizontal drive shaft hole supporting a shaft of a small bevel gear operably connected to the drive rod, a second vertical drive shaft hole supporting a shaft of a large bevel gear, the small and large bevel gears being operably connected in an approximate 90 degree deviation, a threaded hole located on the frontmost portion of the main head unit, said threaded hole supporting a gear locking screw, and a spring fitted around the small bevel gear shaft between the main head unit and the small bevel gear; a media mounting device mounted to the large bevel gear shaft of the mounting device rotational actuator in either a panning or tilting arrangement, the media mounting device being configured for carrying a media element in either of said arrangements, said media mounting device comprising: a right angle bracket having an upper mounting screw hole with a tightening nut and a bottom mounting bolt channel with a bottom mounting bolt for fastening to said media element, said bottom mounting bolt being operably connected for lateral movement within said bottom mounting bolt channel and having a shaft with external threading and a head with internal threading; wherein when said media mounting device is in said panning arrangement, said bottom mounting bolt is secured to said large bevel gear shaft by said internal threading; and wherein when said media mounting device is in said tilting arrangement, said tightening nut secures said large bevel gear shaft to said upper mounting screw hole.
