Abstract

A body-mounted camera support which includes a generally ring-shaped, neck-encircling member to which a camera support assembly is pivotally connected. The camera support assembly includes a support platform for supporting the camera, a platform supporting track extending outwardly from the neck encircling member for slidably supporting the support platform, and a gripping handle assembly pivotally connected to the track for gripping by the user to quickly and easily position the track and the camera platform both elevationally and directionally relative to the user's body. When the camera is not in use, the camera support assembly depends downwardly from the neck encircling member and rests comfortably against the user's upper body. When the photographer desires to use the camera, the camera support assembly can be quickly raised and pointed by gripping the gripping handle assembly. After the camera support assembly has been raised to a generally horizontal position, the camera support platform can then be slidably moved along the tracks to a position wherein the view finder of the camera is correctly disposed proximate the user's eye.
