Abstract

This invention provides a camera support comprising an arm; a camera mount connected to the arm; a mount configured for attachment to a first supportive base (‘first base mount’), wherein the arm is pivotally connected to the first base mount; a mount configured for attachment to a second supportive base (‘second base mount’); and an arm coupler configured for releasably connecting the arm from the second base mount. Optionally, the first and second base mounts comprise straps, e.g. for mounting to a user's limb such as a forearm. Exemplary embodiments allow the arm to swing smoothly in a downward motion directly into the palm of the user's hand.
