ABSTRACT:
A guidance apparatus for controlling universal coupling movement of a tripod head includes control or guiding means operatively connected to the head of the tripod and extending therefrom to contact the upper torso of the individual using the tripod independently of the individual's hands. The individual's upper torso movement controls the universal movement of the tripod head. The guidance means preferably includes a guidance arm having a portion for contacting the shoulder front of the individual and a portion extending beneath the shoulder and between the upper arm and the upper torso. The portion extending between the upper arm and the upper torso is conveniently gripped by pressing the upper arm on the guidance means against the upper torso during movement of the upper body in controlling the tripod head. The means connecting the guidance means to the tripod head is selectively adjustable to position the guidance arm in the most desired position and is also selectively flexible to allow swiveling or universal movement of the guidance arm with respect to the tripod head during use.
