Abstract: A device to both support and focus a long camera lens is described. A user can hold the camera body with one hand and the support device with the other. In this way, it is easy to hold the camera steady while composing and taking a photograph, as the weight of the lens is supported in more than one place using both hands. The device can be attached to the focusing and/or zoom ring of a zoom or other lens, so that the hand holding the device can move the device to focus the camera. Such a device will be welcomed by both novice and professional photographers because it will help to prevent cramping and fatigue that can occur in the hands with extended camera use. In addition use of the device can also increase camera lens stability, especially for users with unsteady hands.
