Abstract: The lightweight versatile base device stabilizes a camera accommodating a variety of lens assemblies and in a range of transporting, or hand held, or freestanding configurations. The device attaches to the base of a camera and provides eyes to accept accessory support straps in configurations that cooperate with the features of the base device to protect the camera via stabilization. Protection is also improved by the features that accommodate a quick grip and quick release of a flexible protective cover in the above configurations and while allowing the camera to retain preselected control settings for aim and shoot or for time exposure photo objectives. The base device may remain attached to the camera and does not require the operation of screws, knobs, velcro or levers for the above changes of configurations. It provides attitude and elevation adjustment of the camera via optional control wedge members or telescoping leg subassemblies.

Abstract: An ultra lightweight, portable variable composite structure to adjust elevation, spatial attitude and longitudinal positions of an object, such as camera and lens assembly. The structure incorporates some unique exterior surface characteristics upon body members of complementing shapes as a means to enable selectively small increments of adjustment and linear movement of a camera aimed upon a close-up objectiveThe exterior surface texture of a network of a multitude of interlinked portions of cell walls and cell cavities is the body member interface structure that will flex and reposition in response to small increments of thrust applied by an operator upon varied sidewalls of the body members.The interface surface structure engages any of a wide range of textures and a wide range of angular or inclined orientations of an underlying support surface or of a superimposed object and thereby result in stable repose.
