Claims52
A camera stabilizer for use with a camera, said camera stabilizer comprising:
- a base having a top, a bottom, a front, and a rear;
- a first rod extendable from said base;
- first support means for providing support for the base, said first support means attached to said first rod, wherein said first rod is a telescoping rod permanently attached to said first support means and wherein said base comprises a receiving aperture at its rear adapted to receive said first rod therethrough and a second receiving aperture at its front adapted to receive said first rod therethrough to thereby stabilize said first rod onto said base;
