Abstract

An adjustable optical mounting assembly, particularly suited for folding or periscope optics, provides for optical beam motion in three axes using a bearing having a spherical surface. This invention greatly simplifies the mount mechanism and operting procedure, reduces the size, and provides enhanced stability and lockability relative to comparable conventional devices.
