ABSTRACT:
A camera steadying device for use with a tripod. The device comprises two members, one of them having a tripod-attachment receptacle and providing a cup, the other having a ball portion and a camera-attachment stud that fits into the camera's tripod-attachment receptacle. The ball portion fits into the cup but is not attached to it, so that the camera is never attached to the tripod, yet the camera can nearly instantaneously be given tripod support, the photographer holding the camera in place with one hand while he uses the other hand to take the picture. Free rotation between the cup and the ball enables support at any desired angle.
