Abstract
A portable camera support. The camera support comprises a shoulder support member which rests on and extends forwardly from a user's shoulder and which supports a camera. A telescoping extension tube extends forwardly from the front end of the shoulder support member and is pivotably attached to a torso engaging support member, the lower end of which bears upon the user's chest or torso. A preferred adjustable bracing member permits selective adjustment of the height of the camera. A camera mounting plate permits forward and rearward adjustment of the position of the camera, as well as limited left- and right-handed rotation to accommodate left- and right-handed users.
