The patent US12025906B2 describes a support system for video-photographic equipment, featuring a telescopic leg structure that can be adjusted between retracted and extended configurations. The leg consists of three sections: a first section, a second section that slides axially with respect to the first, and a third section that slides with respect to the second. A blocking device is integrated into one of the sections to control the axial movement of these sections, allowing for secure positioning of the equipment. The system includes a transmission device that connects the sections, ensuring synchronized movement when the second section is adjusted. This device employs redirection elements and wires to facilitate the movement, with options for adjustment to maintain wire tension.

Further claims detail the structural components and functionalities of the support system. The design incorporates various securing elements, such as clamps, to stabilize the wire and prevent unwanted sliding. The sections are constructed with hollow tubes, allowing for a compact design that houses the transmission device. Additionally, the blocking mechanism includes runners and actuators that enable simultaneous locking and unlocking of the sections, enhancing operational efficiency. Reinforcement elements are also included at the ends of the sections to provide structural integrity during use. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated support system that combines mechanical elements for enhanced adjustability and stability in video-photographic applications.
