Abstract

The camera support has three telescopic legs (16, 18, 14) connected symmetrically to a plate (10). The latter has a threaded projection (12) in the centre, to which a camera can be attached. Each leg pivots on a pin. Two of the legs can move from directly under the plate to the horizontal and the third (14) can swing through the horizontal to take up a position directly above the plate (10). This leg of the support becomes wider towards the base and on this base a second point is provided for attaching a camera. The support can be used with two or three feet on the ground or be supported upside down by a cord around the neck of the operator.
