Patent ID: 7588376

Claim:
A camera holder for a stand, with a mounting screw provided in a carrier plate screwable into a mounting thread of a camera, wherein the carrier plate is mounted directly or indirectly on a rotation plate, wherein it is adjustable in a plane perpendicular to a vertical rotation axis of the rotation plate and wherein the rotation plate is fixable in any desired rotation position by means of a clamping device wherein the carrier plate is steplessly adjustable in two horizontal axes perpendicular to each other relative to the rotation axis of the rotation plate by means of a cross sled, wherein the cross sled includes a first lower profile rail with an adjustable first sled, which is secured on the rotation plate, and wherein upon the first sled a second upper profile rail with a second sled is secured, which runs transverse to the first profile rail and of which the second sled is a carrier plate or is provided with a separate carrier plate oriented in parallel with the first lower profile rail and the second upper profile rail, wherein the first lower profile rail of the cross sled is mounted by means of a bearing block adjustably upon a circular curved guide rail, so that the carrier plate is adjustable about an optical axis of a lens of a thereupon secured camera displaced 90° out of a horizontal orientation into a vertical orientation.
