Abstract: The invention is a camera holder, comprising an upper rigid element adapted for suspension from a substantially horizontal strap or belt and a lower rigid element with a substantially circular portion and a substantially rectangular portion, the substantially rectangular portion further comprising a coupling means adapted to enable flexible coupling of the lower rigid element to the upper rigid element. According to the invention, a coupling means of the lower rigid element allows it to alternatively be positioned substantially parallel to or substantially perpendicular to the upper rigid element, so that the lower rigid element, when positioned substantially perpendicular to the upper rigid element, is capable of supporting the weight of a camera or similar portable device. The diameter of the substantially circular portion of the lower rigid element is sufficiently large to permit passage of lenses or similar appurtenances of a camera or similar portable device.
