  • Patent number: 7097368
    Abstract: A camera stabilizer having a base with an aperture in front and in back, and in alignment with one other. A shoulder support, removably attachable to the base, has an adjustable rod extending forward of it with a detent at its distal end. The adjustable rod inserts into the base through its two apertures with the detent passing through the front aperture to prevent rearward movement of the adjustable rod. A second support removably attaches to the base. It has two telescoping rods connected to each other at their bottoms from which they are pivotable. Adjustable straps on one telescoping rod are adapted to wrap around one's back and fasten to themselves for greater stability. Another strap at the bottom of one telescoping rod is adapted to loop around one's belt and fasten to itself thereby providing addition stability and vertical support.
