Abstract

In order to provide a compact carrying handle arrangement for a video camera which is not provided with carrying handle connections per se, the lower horizontally extending portion of an essentially C-shaped handle extends along the lower edge of the camera and is secured thereto by a screw which is threaded into the threaded bore provided for connecting the tripod. The vertical portion of the handle has a connection site which can operatively engage with a first battery mounting site provided on the rear of the camera. A second battery site is provided on the handle and is arranged to receive the battery. The second mounting site is electrically connected with the connection site so that power from the battery can be supplied to the camera via the first battery mounting site. The grip portion of the handle extends forward in a space relationship over the top of the camera. Hot shoes are formed at the leading end of the grip portion and operatively connected with the second battery mounting site so as to enable power to be supplied thereto from the battery.
