Reference numeral 2 denotes a photographing grip for holding the photographing device, which is fixed to a side surface of the photographing lens 12. A seesaw-type switch 3 is provided on the upper surface of the photographing grip 2 for performing a zooming operation and a focusing operation of the photographing lens 12.
A support plate 4 holds the seesaw-type switch 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes an angle adjusting screw as an adjusting means, which is loosely fitted in a hole 2a provided in a part of the photographing grip 2 and the tip of which is in contact with the support plate 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes a rotation support rod, which is located at the center of rotation of the support plate 4. Reference numeral 7 denotes a spring, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of the photographing grip 2 and the other end of which is fixed to the support plate 4. Further, the spring 7 has a sufficient pulling force for fixing the seesaw type switch 3 against an external force applied to the seesaw type switch 3 in a normal use state.
