ABSTRACT:
A tilt mounting for supporting equipment such as photographic or television cameras, radar antennas, laser beam devices, spot lights, or the like equipment which must be supported in a position to permit selective tilting in a vertical plane. The mounting comprises a tilt table to which the equipment may be secured, with the table having downwardly extending legs, straddled by the upwardly extending arms of a base frame. A pivot-slide connection is formed between the base frame arms and the tilt table legs, permitting the tilt table to be pivoted and slid upwardly with respect to the base frame. A cam and cam follower between the base frame arms and tilt table legs act to urge the tilt table and any equipment supported thereon upwardly as the equipment is tilted, to maintain the center of gravity of any equipment on the tilt table in a relatively horizontal plane. Locking means are provided to selectively fix the tilt table in a selected position.
