A folding hinge for camera stabilization equipment. The hinge includes
support connectors having apertures through which cables may be passed to
connect a camera with various auxiliary components. An indexing guide
pivotally attaches the support connectors so the camera stabilization
system can be folded and unfolded with little or no disruption of the
cables pr system balance. Locking mechanisms secure the hinges to provide
a desired angular relationship between support members connected by the
hinge.
