Abstract
A remote camera positioning system provides a camera on a positioner, such as an elongated boom, out of the operator's reach. The positioner provides an operator interface, such as grips and optionally a body harness, to enable the operator to support, control and maneuver the position of the camera. A monitor for displaying images generated by the camera is mounted to the operator to enable the operator to view and control the camera images in a self-contained manner.
