ABSTRACT:
A camera platform, which is mounted on a tilt member by means of a shaft, is allowed to rock around the shaft, between a horizontal position and a vertical position. A bracket of the platform can slide relatively to a support portion of the tilt member, in the axial direction of the shaft. First and second recesses are formed in an end face of the bracket. The support portion of the tilt member is formed with a projection, which is fitted alternatively in one of the recesses. When the platform is in its horizontal position, the projection is fitted in the first recess. When the platform is in its vertical position, the projection is fitted in the second recess. The projection can be disengaged from the first or second recess by only sliding the bracket of the camera platform in the axial direction of the shaft.
