ABSTRACT:
The lightweight versatile base device stabilizes a camera accommodating a variety of lens assemblies and in a range of transporting, or hand held, or freestanding configurations. The device attaches to the base of a camera and provides eyes to accept accessory support straps in configurations that cooperate with the features of the base device to protect the camera via stabilization. Protection is also improved by the features that accommodate a quick grip and quick release of a flexible protective cover in the above configurations and while allowing the camera to retain preselected control settings for aim and shoot or for time exposure photo objectives. The base device may remain attached to the camera and does not require the operation of screws, knobs, velcro or levers for the above changes of configurations. It provides attitude and elevation adjustment of the camera via optional control wedge members or telescoping leg subassemblies. The device provides an offset interface to accept tripod head mounting and thus compensate for longer lens assemblies.
