A control equipment, for holding a laparoscopic probe and precisely positioning the tip of said probe in its operative configuration within a body cavity said control equipment comprising: i. A housing adapted to be arculately moveable about a vertical axis in a first plane in its operative configuration; ii. a post extending from said housing, angularly displaceable in a second plane being perpendicular to said first plae; iii. an arm fitted in proximity to the apex of the operative top end of said post, said arm being angularly displaceable in a third plane being mutually perpendicular to said first and second planes and defining a free end; iv. a clamp adapted to be fitted to said free end and adapted to hold the probe of a laparoscope in position; v. discrete drive mechanisms adapted to displace said housing; post and arm in repective first, second and third planes; and vi. control means adapted to drive each of said discrete drive mechanism means to position the tip of said probe in its operative configuration within a body cavity.
