Abstract
A remote camera positioning and control system is disclosed that permits a sole operator to use and support a camera out of arm's reach. Various features of such a remote camera positioning and control system are disclosed. The positioner can include one or more beam modules having cross-sectional flexural rigidity that varies along the length of the beam module(s) by use, for example, of stiffening longerons, anchoring braces and relatively low density stabilizing webs.
