ABSTRACT:
A generally C-shaped frame portion having upper and lower generally horizontal arms and a generally vertically positioned connecting member partially surrounds a camera receiving space. A plate pivotally mounted to the lower arm provides a mounting point for a camera and a plurality of gyroscopic stabilizers. One or more elastic cords rotatably attached to the upper arm permit the frame to be suspend from a suspension point in or on a moving and/or vibrating platform for swinging movement in any direction and rotation relative to the platform and provide vibration isolation from the platform. A collapsible stand having a heavy base, an upright and a cantilever arm may be used to provide the suspension point if one is not conveniently available in or on the platform.
