Camera cradle tilt mechanism

摘要

A camera cradle tilt mechanism for professional motion picture photography employs a flexible toothed belt having its ends fixed to an arcuate undersurface of the camera cradle. The toothed belt passes around a pinion gear so that turning of the pinion gear controls the tilting position of the camera cradle. The pinion gear is adjustably mounted to take up any slack in the belt which develops because of wear.
