ABSTRACT:
A tripod (1) having a semispherical mounting tray (8) for mounting the semispherical portion (29) of a tripod head (7) for a film or television camera. The tripod head (7) has at its bottom a threaded pin (30) screwed with a threaded coupling (16) of a fastening element (10), whereby the semispherical portion (29) of the tripod head (7) can be clamped in the mounting tray (8). To be able easily to position horizontally the clamped tripod head (7), the fastening element (10) is made of several parts (11, 13, 14, 16, 19), the individual parts being compressed by a cup spring stack (13). By means of an eccentric (23, 24, 25) the cup spring stack (13) can be compressed to that the semispherical portion (29) of the tripod head can be moved with the screwed on threaded coupling (16) for leveling. If the eccentric is then forced out, the tripod head is locked in the new position by spring pressure.
