Abstract:
A camera mounting and steadying device for reducing or eliminating undesired movements of a hand-held camera consisting of a main support handle member with hand grips formed into each end of the frame. A camera mounting base is located at one end of the frame and is attached at 90. degree. to two parallel rails that are contained in and slide in channels on either side of the main frame, and is adjustable in multiple directions to enable eye alignment. A shoulder brace extends rearwardly from between the grips of the main frame and abuts either shoulder of the operator. The shoulder brace is both automatically adjustable at the shoulder and manually adjustable for the photographer's comfort. In addition, the shoulder brace may be configured as a tripod to provide stabilization to mount the unit on a flat surface. A camera shutter release is provided in the proximity of the index finger of one hand and a hand support flange extends rearwardly and is positioned to rest on top of the user's lower hand for additional steadying and support.
