ABSTRACT:
A shoulder carrier for a camera, such as a video camera, is provided which positions the camera with its viewfinder adjacent the viewer's eye without the necessity for additional support. The shoulder carrier includes a shoulder harness including a pair of spaced-apart shoulder supports and at least one securement bar interconnecting the supports, a camera mount including a platform and a camera release, and a coupler interconnecting the platform with the shoulder harness for adjustably orienting the camera mount, and thus a camera carried thereon, relative to the shoulder harness. A belt is provided which connects front and back regions of the shoulder supports and connects across the chest area of the wearer. The belt aids in inhibiting the shoulder support from inadvertently disengaging and falling from the wearer, which would result in damage to the camera, thereby freeing the wearer's hands from holding the camera during use.
