ABSTRACT:
A simple, versatile support device supports a camera on different surfaces in various dispositions. In one embodiment, a device comprises a front support member including a left end and a right end. The front support member includes an upper surface having a camera support location between the left end and the right end on which to support a camera, and includes a lower inwardly arched surface and a bottom support surface below the lower inwardly arched surface. The front support member is configured to either rest the bottom support surface on a generally horizontal surface of an object on which to place the camera supporting device or to engage the lower inwardly arched surface with a vertical front surface and a horizontal top surface forming an edge of an object on which to place the camera supporting device. A left flexible leg is coupled between the left end of the front support member and a tail end. A right flexible leg is coupled between the right end of the front support member and the tail end. The left and right flexible legs are deformable to adjust a position of the tail end to mount the camera supporting device on the object by gravity without clamping to the object.
