ABSTRACT:
A camera stabilizer which can be carried by the camera operator having three masses, one of which is a camera, maintained in positions separate from one another by a frame. Because the three masses are separated, the stabilizer has a high angular moment of inertia making the camera stabilizer less susceptible to unwanted movement. A handle is attached to the frame at approximately the center of gravity of the camera stabilizer and has a gripping axis parallel to the plane of a camera mount.
