  • Patent number: 5294947
    Abstract: A body mounted camera support for use with cameras of different sizes and types. This support provides a hands-free, secure support for the camera either in the horizontal or vertical position. The support includes a shoulder yoke for balance and support. Attached to the yoke, in front of the shoulder, by means of a securing device, is the hinged camera support arm. The arm has a telescoping vertical support which moves vertically and secures to the waist belt. The arm also uses a hinged, interlocking device to allow itself to sit securely either in the horizontal position while in use, or in the vertical position while at rest. The camera is connected to the support arm by means of the camera linking device, whose topside screws into the screw hole in the camera, and whose bottom side is secured into slots on the support arm. Attached around the yoke are two straps which go down the back of the user. The straps attach to a belt which goes around the user's waist.
