Abstract
A balanced support head (1) for video/photographic equipment (2a), comprising a base (3), a platform (2) to which the equipment can be detachably fixed and which can turn relative to the base about a horizontal axis of oscillation (X), as well as a balancing device (10) capable of offsetting the oscillation of the platform caused by the weight of the equipment and the platform. The balancing device comprises a spring (12) fastened to the base and extending towards the platform along a substantially vertical, axis (Z) of said base, and also an abutment element (16) fastened to the platform and abutting one end (15a) of the spring at a predetermined distance (R) from the axis of oscillation, so that, when the platform is oscillated relative to the base from a vertical, balanced position, the abutment element is displaced relative to the vertical axis along the end of the spring, such that the force exerted thereby on the abutment element generates a balancing torque with a sign opposite that generated by the weight of the equipment and of the platform.
