Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03010465A1] A balance system (1), for hand-held cameras (9), comprises a balance arm (2) and a handle (3). The balance arm (2) may be connected to a camera retaining mechanism (10) and may be swivelled, relative to the handle (3), about a swivelling axis (S) and tilted about a tilting axis (N), running essentially perpendicular to the swivelling axis (S). The balance arm (2) may furthermore be rotated about a roll axis (R) relative to the handle (3), which also runs essentially perpendicular to the swivelling axis (S) in the case of a non-tilted camera (9). The balance arm (2) may thus be rotated in an unrestricted manner about the roll axis (R) relative to the handle (3).
