ABSTRACT:
A stabilizing platform for attachment to the bottom of a hand held camcorder to steady the filming of subjects with the use of fiber optics in the body of the platform to send remote control infrared signals to the infrared receiving port on the camcorder. The platform includes a two piece bar that is held together with a locking bolt and includes a mounting screw which attaches the camera to the top of the platform and also attaches a handle below the platform. A remote control is attached to the handle. The remote control also can be imbedded into the handle so that the infrared signal can go from the handle directly into the base of the camera body thus giving the user instant control of the signal, and improve the quality of the picture. A second infrared receiving port is located on the bottom of the camcorder so that the user may send remote infrared signals to camcorder from behind the unit.
