Zusammenfassung:A shock and vibration isolator (10) for a motion picture or video camera includes a top plate (18) attached to a bottom plate (16) via a universal joint (15) that allows the top plate to pivot about two mutually perpendicular axes relative to the bottom plate. Springs (34) are compressed between the top and bottom plates. Fluid dampeners (40, 42) between the top and bottom plates are connected to a valve (72) that allows dampening to be adjusted. A resilient material, such as foam rubber, may be used in place of the springs and dampeners. A low profile swing head (220) allows for versatile and quick camera positioning.
