Abstract

A device for supporting a camera 10 at a low elevation includes a pair of upright telescoping tubes 19 and 20, the upper tube 19 being supported by a gimbal device 23 and acting to support a battery carrier 43. A releasable clamp 22 holds the tubes at selected telescopic position in order to adjust the height of the motion picture camera, suspended from the lower end of the lower tube on a tilting support 17. The gimbal device 23 is mounted on the second of a pair of spring-loaded arms, serially connected, the first arm being pivotally mounted on a body harness to be worn by an operator. The spring-loaded arms support the weight of the entire device including the battery carrier and the camera. A video camera 46 is connected to the camera viewfinder and is electrically connected to a video monitor 47 mounted on the second arm assembly adjacent the gimbal device. The entire suspended assembly can be modified to place the motion picture camera at the upper end of the upper telescoping tube 19 and to place the battery carrier 43 at the lower end of the lower telescoping tube 20. <IMAGE>
