Abstract:
A tripod head for supporting a camera includes an electronic leveling and display system to produce a continuously visible display of the leveling of the tripod head and the camera mounted thereon. That is, the tripod head may be rotated (a full 360 degrees) so the display system is visible regardless of the position of the camera. The display system attached to, or made part of, the tripod head includes light indicating elements (e.g., LEDs or LCDs) which may be easily seen, day or night and under physical constraints limiting access to the camera, regardless of the orientation of the camera.

Claim (Index 1):
The combination comprising:\n a tripod head adapted to have a camera attached thereto, said tripod head including apparatus for securely attaching the camera thereto and for rotating the camera relative to the tripod head; sensing and processing circuitry coupled to said tripod head for sensing and calculating the degree of leveling of said tripod head and producing signals indicative of the leveling; and a display device attached to said tripod head responsive to the signals indicative of the leveling for optically displaying signals corresponding to the indicated leveling; said optical display being viewable in any selected direction regardless of the orientation of the camera attached to said tripod head.
