Abstract
A shoulder rest for a camera includes a main frame, a mid plate pivotably connected to the main frame and a back plate pivotably connected to the mid plate, and optionally a front plate. The pivot connections allow a user to adjust the curve of the shoulder rest. A tilt plate attached to a top surface of the main frame is configured to tilt to an angle with respect to the main frame. An adapter to which the camera is removably mounted is attached to the tilt plate, and may be moved forwardly or rearwardly with respect to the main frame, and/or may be moved toward and away from a side edge of the main frame. The tilt plate and adapter together allow the user to offset the camera away from the user's head for greater comfort.
