ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary handle for portable video cameras. This device provides a removable structure which can be used by the operator to help hold the camera steady during recording. The handle is comprised of an extended portion which serves as the grip, a ball and socket lockable joint to orient the handle in a preferred ergonomic position and means for attaching the handle assembly to the camera. The extended length of the grip and its ability to be universally oriented allows the operator to hold the handle in multiple forms and positions below the camera. By limiting the amount that the assisting hand must be raised and by the fact that the camera's weight is supported by two hands, operator fatigue is reduced. This device also prevents the inadvertent operation of camera controls by placing the assisting hand away from their proximity.
