ABSTRACT:
A stabilized support which is both small and light-weight in construction, and which receives the equipment with which it is used upon an expanded support network which deploys (positions) the supported equipment in a manner which alters the position of its center of gravity so that the resulting unit can be effectively supported at its center of gravity by an interrupted handle which includes a major portion which can be engaged for overall support and transport of the unit, and a minor portion which includes a control surface which is accessible by the operator's hand to achieve controlled orientation of the equipment support, separated by an appropriate device for providing mutual angular isolation between the two portions of the compound handle. The handle for the equipment support therefore provides all of the functions which are necessary for appropriate operation of the equipment which it supports, such as a portable video camera or the like.
