Abstract: A camera (1) a housing (2) and a shoulder support (3) to support the housing (2) on a shoulder. The shoulder support (3) comprises a flexible carrying member (30) having a first end (31 ) and a second end (32). Near its first end (31) the carrying member (30) is connected to the housing (2) by means of a comparatively stiff first connecting member (41) and near its second end (32) it is connected to the housing (2) by means of a comparatively stiff second connecting member (42). The first connecting member (41) is movably coupled to the second connecting member (42) via a hinge (51) and the housing (2). By placing the camera (1) onto a shoulder, the shoulder bearing against the carrying member (30) at a position between the ends (31) and (32) of the carrying member, a pulling force is produced in the carrying member (30), which force acts upon the connecting members (41) and (42) and urges the ends (31) and (32) of the carrying member (30) towards one another.
