N2 - This paper suggests a system that is able to orient a camera around its pan and tilt axis with the same high dynamic as a human orients his eyes. Since the device is a part of a gaze-driven head-mounted stereo camera system, beside the high dynamic also the compactness of the device is important. Therefore a small and light-weight system is developed which is mounted on a humans head near the ears. Based on the experience of a previous version a small piezo-actuator driven parallel kinematics is developed. The kinematic solution, a dynamic simulation and the step response behavior of the new device are presented.
