- The invention relates to video camera support devices.
- The consumer electronics industry has brought the ability to record sound motion pictures into the financial reach of many consumers. The video camera, which records both sound and images on economical cassettes or other magnetic media, has reduced substantially cost of audiovisual filming by eliminating, in large part, the need for expensive acetate film and film processing. As video cameras have become more available and lighter in weight, many individuals have sought ways to make them easier to carry and use.
- Because the user needs to hold the video camera steady while performing other tasks, special shoulder mounts have been developed to position the camera and reduce the photographer's fatigue. Previous designs do not have the requisite stability for true hands-free operation, coupled with a further ability to support the weight of the camera over a substantial length of time.
- There is a need for camera support which is adjustable for a large range of body sizes, positions the camera with the viewfinder in close relationship to the photographer's eye, provides prolonged weight-bearing capability, frees the photographer's hands for other tasks during use, and yields a stable platform for producing satisfactory audiovisual works in either film or magnetic media such as videocassette format.
- These and other objectives have largely been met by the camera harness of the present invention. The camera harness hereof is stable, properly positions a consumer-sized camera with the eyepiece in proximity to the photographer, is adjustable for a range of body sizes, is stable in use, permits substantially hands-free operation, and in addition is lightweight and comfortable to wear.
- In one general aspect, a camera harness includes a camera platform, an upper support bracket, a pair of upper arms rotateably attached between the camera platform and the upper support bracket, a lower support bracket and a lower arm rotateably attached between the camera platform and the lower support bracket.
- Embodiments may include one or more of the following features. For example, the lower and upper arms may be telescoping arms having adjustable lengths. In addition, a first set of adjustable straps may be attached to the upper support bracket. The first set of adjustable straps can be configured to be looped around a user's shoulders.
- As another feature, a second adjustable strap is attached to the lower support bracket. The second adjustable strap is configured to be worn around the waste of a user.
- A pair of swivel hinges that provide 360 degrees of rotation may attach the camera platform to the upper arms. Another pair of hinges may attach the upper arms to the upper bracket. A swivel hinge may also attach the camera platform to the lower arm and another hinge attaches the lower arm to the lower bracket.
- In another general aspect, a hands free camera carrier includes a shoulder harness, a camera platform with an upper platform rotatably attached to a lower platform, and a coupler that attaches the shoulder harness to the camera platform. Embodiments may include one or more of the above or following features.
- For example, the shoulder harness may have a first and a second U-shaped shoulder support and an upper and lower front cross bar and an upper and lower rear cross bar, each cross bar attached between the first and second shoulder support.
- The camera platform may include a lower platform and an upper platform rotatably attached to the lower platform. The camera platform may have a hinge that rotateably attaches the upper platform to the lower platform. The camera platform may also have a camera mount attached to the upper platform to attach a camera to the camera platform. In addition, the camera mount may have a quick release mechanism to attach a camera to the camera platform.
- As another feature the coupler may include a turnbuckle.
