ABSTRACT:
A remote control camera apparatus comprising a video camera or motion picture camera mounted on a tripod, and the camera having a first servo motor to rotate the camera throughout a 360 degree horizontal arc, and a second servo motor to pivot the camera throughout a 180 degree vertical arc. Each servo motor is controlled by an electrical circuit having a receiver to receive radio frequency signals transmitted by a remote control transmitter with said radio frequency signals including an operating control signal to signal each of the servo motors when to start, when to stop, and in what direction to rotate. A laser transmitter, capable of being turned on and off by the remote transmitter, is mounted on or adjacent to the camera to direct a visible laser beam parallel to and slightly above the axis of the camera lens so that the visible laser beam hits slightly above and in line with the center of the area the camera lens is focused on. The laser transmitter enables a person manipulating a camera or plurality of cameras from a remote location to see when each camera is focused on the subject to be shown in the picture. After the camera is focused on the subject, the remote control transmitter turns off the laser beam and turns on the camera until the shooting is complete whereupon the remote transmitter turns off the camera.
