Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur beweglichen Halterung einer Kamera, wobei zum Schwenken der Kamera eine Positionssteuerung über mindestens einen Schrittmotor erfolgt. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Halterung für vorzugsweise bewegliche Kameraaufnahmen bereitzustellen, die leicht und dreidimensional beweglich ist und auch bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten, eine vibrationsarme Aufnahmequalität ermöglicht. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass die dreidimensional bewegliche Halterung als ineinander geführte und geschlossene Doppelkäfigkonstruktion ausgeführt ist, bei der ein innerer Käfig in einem äußeren Käfig beweglich geführt ist, wobei der äußere Käfig über zwei Antriebsachsen in einer festen winkelförmigen Aufnahme angeordnet ist.
