Support for a camera

Abstract

A support for a camera comprises a central hub ( 45 ) adapted to releasably connect with a plurality of radially displaced interchangeable arm or foot sections (A, B), wherein the arm section is adapted to interconnect if desired with an additional arm section and/or foot section to form a radially extending leg of a desired length. The hub may have a Mitchell type plate and is provided with one or more access windows to allow access to a central cavity.

1 . A support for a camera comprising a central hub adapted to releasably connect with a plurality of radially displaced interchangeable arm or foot sections, wherein the arm section is adapted to interconnect with one or both of an additional arm section and foot section to form a radially extending leg of a desired length.  
     
     
         2 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the hub, foot and arm sections interconnect via a dovetail mortice and tenon joint.  
     
     
         3 . A support as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the dovetail mortice and tenon joint is tapered.  
     
     
         4 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the central hub includes a Mitchell-type camera plate.  
     
     
         5 . A support as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the central hub includes at least one circumferential access window allowing axis to an axial cavity.  
     
     
         6 . A support as claimed in  claim 5 , comprising a plurality of radially separated access windows.  
     
     
         7 . A support for a camera comprising a central hub adapted to releasably receive a plurality of radially extending limb elements, wherein the central hub includes a Mitchell-type camera plate.  
     
     
         8 . A support as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the central hub includes at least one circumferential access window allowing access to an axial cavity.  
     
     
         9 . A support as claimed in  claim 8 , comprising a plurality of radially separated access windows.  
     
     
         10 . A support for a camera, comprising a plurality of radially extending arms releasably connected by a dovetail joint to a central hub.  
     
     
         11 . A support as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein each foot section includes a stanchion member releasably held within the body of the foot member.  
     
     
         12 . A support as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the stanchion includes an adjustment member.  
     
     
         13 . A support as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the central hub includes a Mitchell-type camera plate.  
     
     
         14 . A support as Claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the central hub includes a Mitchell-type camera plate.
