ABSTRACT:
A steerable camera carriage comprises a triangular base plate having an upright shaft rotatably supported at each of its corners. Each shaft has a support wheel for the carriage on the bottom thereof and camera equipment mounted on the upper end thereof. An upright post provided with a steering wheel is rotatably mounted on the center of said base plate. A sprocket on the lower end of the post is connected by an endless chain to a sprocket on the lower end of each of the shafts. With such an arrangement, the steering wheel in addition to serving to control the direction of movement of the carriage provides for controlling the angular orientation of the cameras to facilitate the taking of pictures by a photographer.
