A mount for a seeker head includes a plane spanned by a holder frame in which the pitch motion of the device containing at least one detector can be performed with respect to the missile structure and within the holder frame, at right angles to the plane spanned by the holder frame, a rotating mechanism for the rotational yaw motion of the device containing at least one detector is arranged about a rotation axis lying in the plane spanned by the holder frame. The pitch and yaw motion of the device is possible in a range of much more than+/−90°.
