A carrier device for an appliance, which comprises two elongate carrier members that are connected at one of their ends and that define an acute angle between them in an operative configuration of the carrier device, one of said carrier members being longitudinally divided into two segments with said two segments being pivotally connected for permitting displacement into a configuration in which an acute angle is defined between the segments and, with said two carrier members disposed in said operative configuration, a tripod structure is defined;

• a strap element connected to said carrier members at ends opposite to the connected ends thereof, said strap element determining a maximum angle between said carrier members in said operative configuration;
• and
• a mounting structure secured on one of said carrier members for mounting an appliance onto said carrier device in a configuration in which, by holding said carrier device against a shoulder of a person with said strap element abutting said shoulder, such appliance can be directed in a required direction.
