ABSTRACT:
A camera system in which a balancer is installed on one side of the camera and is linked to the camera body by two arms so that the photographer's hand can be inserted through a space defined by the camera body, the balancer and the arms. The balancer has substantial weight so as to balance the camera during hand held operation. Batteries are installed in the balancer and a flash unit may be incoporated therein. The arms may be rigid or may be a flexible belt. The balancer is preferably spaced from the camera body by an adjustable distance. Electrical contact is provided between the balancer and the camera body through the arms.
