The camera is attached to a holding element (2, 3) on top of the device and secured with a transversal bolt (4) and a locking nut (5). A helical spring (12) can be compressed or released according to the weight of the camera by rotating a pressure nut (6). A rod (10) guided through a hollow handle (9) is fitted with a counterweight (11) at its lower end adjusting the camera in a horizontal position in coordination with a semispherical bolt (7) moving in the upper area of a sleeve (8).
