The design of the camera support structures for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
(CTA) Large Size Telescopes (LSTs) is based on an elliptical arch geometry
reinforced along its orthogonal projection by two symmetric sets of stabilizing
ropes. The main requirements in terms of minimal camera displacement, minimal
weight, minimal shadowing on the telescope mirror, maximal strength of the
structures and fast dynamical stabilization have led to the application of
Carbon Fibre Plastic Reinforced (CFPR) technologies. This work presents the
design, static and dynamic performance of the telescope fulfilling critical
specifications for the major scientific objectives of the CTA LST, e.g. Gamma
Ray Burst detection.Comment: In Proceedings of the 33rd International Cosmic Ray Conference
