Camera float device

A system for achieving floating camera shots through simple manual manipulation, the system comprising:

• a) a camera dolly and pedestal;
• b) a camera boom, said boom mounted upon said pedestal;
• and
• c) a manually operated camera float device, the device comprising:
• i) a first frame member and a second frame member, said first frame member rotatable in relation to said second frame member, said second frame member having means for coupling to said camera boom for allowing said device to float in a three dimensional plane, said first frame member coupling to a platform means for mounting a camera, said platform means for allowing a camera to rotate simultaneously with said first frame member;
• and
• ii) rotation means for rotating said first frame member in relation to said second frame member, said rotation means coupled at a first location to said first frame member, said rotation means coupled at a second location to a handle means, said handle means for applying hand pressure to said rotation means to firstly cause said first frame member to rotate in a swinging arc, wherein said handle means causes said device to rotate in a panning motion, said handle means further causes said device to float in a three dimensional plane upon said camera boom.
