  • Patent number: 5810313
    Abstract: An adjustable camera support in the form of a rigid elongated plate which is centrally axially orificed to enable a bolt to be passed up through the plate at different locations and into the customary threaded orifice extending upwardly and inwardly into the underside of a camera. A rubber wash may be disposed on the bolt and interposed between the camera bottom and the top surface of the plate to hold the bolt in position on the plate. The unorificed portion of the underside of the plate is provided with VELCRO material, and engaging material is secured to the top of a flexible "bean bag". Thereby, the camera may be supported by placing the underside of the plate on the top side of the "bean bag" where the camera may be adjustably but securely disposed with further adjustment being attainable by shifting the disposition of the bolt through the plate.
