Abstract
A camera support (10) for supporting a camera (12) having a threaded opening in an exterior wall thereof. The support (10) comprises a shaft (15) having first (16) and second (18) ends and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. Course self tapping anchor threads (20) are disposed on the first end (16) of the shaft (15) for threadingly engaging a support structure (22). Machine-type support threads (24) are disposed on the second end (18) of the shaft (15) for threadingly engaging the threaded opening in the camera (12). A handle (26) extends transversely to the axis of the shaft (15) for manually rotating the anchor threads (20) into the support structure (22).
