Abstract

A mounting arrangement which utilizes an oversized support shaft journaled in dual ball bearings in conjunction with worm gearing and axially adjustable set screws eliminates rotational and axial backlash in a swivel and tilt mounting for television surveillance cameras or other equipment which must be directionally adjustable. The mounting arrangement permits standard manufacturing and assembly techniques to be utilized while allowing simplified disassembly, repair and adjustment.
