NOW givas you . . . greater spe($, flexibility ; and precision with ANY make} of camera
REALIZING that the principles of the Akeley Gyro mechanism, as embodied in the Akeley Camera, have contributed greatly to the mechanical success of motion pictures, we have placed on the market a tripod in which is contained an improved gyro mechanism adaptable to any make of motion picture camera. This Gyro mechanism now gives to any camera advantages until now exclusive with the Akeley Camera.
The new tripod adds to all cameras the flexibility of the Akeley pan and tilt mechanism eliminating the use of crank handles and friction devices which Mr. Akeley found to be unsatisfactory in properly photographing follow shots. There are three different speeds or resistances in the pan, any of which may be selected by the operator. To insure ease of action the Akeley mechanism is entirely ball bearing.
Altogether the Akeley Gyro Mechanism provides for the motion picture photographer a more convenient, a quicker and a more profitable method of taking news or studio pictures. It makes the unusual picture an every-day occurrence, the heretofore impossible shot a simple matter.
