Abstract
An attachment device is adapted to permit a camera to be positively supported in various positions on a hand-held camera support. The attachment device includes a positioning structure which is slidably engaged by an adapter member secured to a camera. The positioning structure is mounted on a mounting structure which is secured to a hand-held camera support. The positioning structure is adjustable relative to the mounting structure between a horizontal position and a plurality of angular positions. Cooperating locking means on the mounting and positioning structures positively lock the latter in one of the horizontal or angular positions.
