Patent ID: 7192203

Claim:
Cardanic suspension device ( 3 ) for a camera balance device ( 1 ), comprising two intersecting joint axes (G 1 , G 2 ) with one of said axes (G 2 ) extending vertically (in a perpendicular manner) during operation and the other (G 1 ) extending horizontally and with an axis of rotation (D) extending through the vertical joint axis (G 2 ) and lying perpendicular to the horizontal joint axis (G 1 ), with a joint output fixing element ( 27 ) that may be rotated about the vertical joint axis (G 2 ) to fix the cardanic suspension device ( 3 ) to the camera balance device ( 1 ), and with a joint input fixing element ( 25 ) that can be rotated about the axis of rotation (D) to fix the cardanic suspension ( 3 ) to a support, characterized in that between the joint input fixing element ( 25 ) and the joint output fixing element ( 27 ) a centering device ( 43 ) is provided enabling the vertical joint axis (G 2 ) and the axis of rotation (D) to move in relation to each other by sliding the axis of (G 2 ) along the horizontal axis of (G 1 ) relative to the axis of rotation D.
